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 air bag isdisarmed.Front air bag malfunction If this warning light comes on, accompanied by a buz-zer and the message "Air
bag fault" on the multifunction dis-
play, contact a PEUGEOT dealer tohave the system checked.
AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occu-pants in the event of serious colli-sions; they work in conjunction withthe force limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record andanalyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thre-shold is reached, the air bags inflateinstantly and protect the occupantsof the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their possible exit from thevehicle. The air bags will not be deployed in collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. Theseriousness of the collision dependson the nature of the obstacle and thespeed of the vehicle at the momentof impact. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. Disarming the passenger air bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the pas-senger air bag when you install arear-facing child seat on the frontpassenger seat. 
With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passengerair bag disarming switch 1, turn it
to the "OFF" position, then remo-
ve the key keeping the slot in thisposition.
The air bag warning light on theinstrument panel is lit throu-ghout the disarming process.
