Safety
Airbags
System designed to maximise the safety of the
occupants (with the exception of the rear centrepassenger) in the event of violent collisions.
The airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts (with the exception of the centre rear passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the airbagsare deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear centre passenger); immediately after theimpact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that
they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact
or in cer tain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate whenthe ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during thesame or a subsequent accident), theairbag will not be deployed again.
Deployment of the airbag(s) is accompanied by a slight emission of smoke and a noise, due to theactivation of the pyrotechnic cartridgeincorporated in the system.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitiveindividuals may experience slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a shorttime.

Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Front airbags


Deployment

The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's
front airbag if it has been deactivated, in the event of
a serious front impact to all or par t of the front impact
z
one A , in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from the front to the
rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the thorax and head
of the front occupant of the vehicle and the steeringwheel, driver's side, and the dashboard, passenger's
side to cushion their forward movement.
System which protects the driver and frontpassenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag isfitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

134
Safety
Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in
the event of a serious side impact applied to all
or par t of the side impact zone B, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the hip andshoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.
System which protects the driver and frontpassenger in the event of a serious side impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.

Impact detection zones
A.
Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.


Curtain airbags
System which protects the driver and
passengers (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compar tment area.
In the event of a minor impact or bump on the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be
deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision, the airbag is not deployed.


Deployment

The cur tain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or par t of the side impact zone B, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The cur tain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
If this warnin
g lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in
the screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or aqualified workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.

Safety
Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the new
ISOFIX regulation
.
The seats, represented below, are fitted with
re
gulation ISOFIX mountings:




















"ISOFIX" mountings

There are three rings for each seat:


- two rings A
, located between the vehicleseat back and cushion, indicated by a label, This I
SOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the left
hand rear seat, before fitting the seat, first
move the centre rear seat belt towards themiddle of the vehicle, so as to avoid the seat
interfering with the operation of the seat belt.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fitted with
two latches which are secured on the
two rings A.
Some seats also have an upper strap, known
as the Top Tether, which is attached to ring B.
To attach this strap, raise or remove the vehicle
seat's head restraint then pass the strap over
the backrest. Attach the strap by its hook on
ring Band then fully tighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child seatin a vehicle compromises the child's protection in the event of an accident.
For information re
garding the ISOFIX child seats which can be installed in your vehicle,
refer to the table showing the locations for
installing ISOFIX child seats. - a r

Changing a bulb


Front lamps

In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal surface of the glass of the headlamps and rear lampsis normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.

The headlamps are fitted with polycarbonate glass with a protectivecoating:
)do not clean them using a dr y or abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent or solvent product,)
use a sponge and soapy water or apH neutral product,)
when using a high pressure washer on persistent marks, do not keep the lance directed towards thelamps or their edges for too long, so as not to damage their protectivecoating and seals,)
do not touch the bulb directly withyour fingers, use lint-free cloths.
Changing a bulb should only be doneafter the headlamp has been switched off for a few minutes (risk of serious burns). It is imperative to use only anti-ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order notto damage the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb with the same type andspecification.1
.Daytime running lamps / sidelamps(light emitting diodes - LEDs).2. Dipped beam headlamps (H7-55W).3.Direction indicators (PWY-24W).4.Main beam headlamps (H7-55W).5.Front foglamps (with "corneringlighting" function according to version) (PSX-24W).

Practical information
These bulbs are changed from inside the boot:
)open the boot, )remove the access grille from the corresponding side trim panel, )slacken and remove the nut, )disconnect the lamp unit connector, )remove the lamp unit carefully by it pullingin line towards the outside,
)
press the retaining tabs and remove the
bulb holder,
