Rules for transporting children on the front passenger seat** Children under the age of 10 must not travel in the forwards facingposition, unless the rear seats arealready occupied by other childrenor the rear seats cannot be used(absent or folded). In this case,adjust the front passenger seat tothe most rearward position and armthe passenger air bag. The rearwards facing position is per- mitted from birth to 13 kg or 18 kg. Inthis position, it is essential to disarmthe passenger air bag.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safe- ty of your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these precautions: -
Since 1992, all children under the age of 10 must travel in approved child
seats* suited to their weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt.
In order to recognise a child seat which conforms to current legislation, check
that it bears an orange label indicating the weight range for its use and
its approval number.
- A child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the rearwards facing posi-
tion both in the front and in the rear. PEUGEOT recommends that chil-dren should travel in the "rearwards facing" position up to the age of two.
- Statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for the transportation of chil-dren are the rear seats.
- If a child is travelling on a booster seat, check that the lap section of the seat
belt passes over the child's thighs correctly. The chest section of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck.
PEUGEOT recommends that you use a booster seat with a back, fitted with aseat belt guide.
- Remember to fasten the seat belt or the child seat harness keeping the slack
in relation to the child's body to a minimum , even for short journeys.
* According to current legislation in the country.
** Consult the relevant administration in your country for information regarding the rules for transporting children on the front passenger seat.

front seat belts ☞ To lower the attachment point,
press the upper control and slide it downwards.
☞ To raise the attachment point,

To lock the seat belts
☞ Pull the strap, then insert thebuckle into the stalk. Pre-tensioning front seat belts Safety in the event of a frontal impact has been improved by the introduc-tion of pre-tensioning front seat belts.Depending on the seriousness of theimpact, the pre-tensioning systeminstantly tightens the seat belt firmlyagainst the body of the occupant. The pre-tensioning seat belts are armed when the ignition is on. Rear seat belts Minibus:
the rear seats are all fitted
with three-point inertia reel seat belts. Combi: the rear side seats are fitted
with three-point inertia reel seat
belts. The centre seats are fitted withlap seat belts
To be effective, a seat belt
must be tightened as close to the body as pos-sible.
Depending on the nature and theseriousness of the impact, thepre-tensioners may be triggeredbefore and independently of theair bags. In all cases of an air bag being triggered, the air bag warning lighton the instrument panel comeson. After an impact, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. The system has been designed to be fully operational for ten years.
For greater safety, have it chec- ked by a PEUGEOT dealer withinten years of purchase of thevehicle.

AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions.They work in conjunction with theseat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thresholdis reached, the air bags inflate ins-tantly and protect the occupants ofthe vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air bags deflate rapidly so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are notserious, for which the seat belt is suf-ficient to ensure maximum protec-
tion. The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obs-tacle and the speed of the vehicle atthe moment of the collision. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. FRONT AIR BAGS These are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,except in cases where the passen-ger air bag is disarmed. Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes on on the instrument panel,
contact a PEUGEOT dealerto have the system chec-ked. Disarming the passenger air bag*
