FRONT AIR BAGS These are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger. Theyare deployed simultaneously except incases where the air bag is disarmed. Front air bag fault If this warning light comes on, accom- panied by an audible signal and themessage
"Air bag fault" on the multi-
function display, contact a PEUGEOTdealer to have the system checked.
AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupantsin the event of serious collisions. Itworks in conjunction with the force-limiting seat belts. The electronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration of thevehicle: if the triggering threshold isreached the air bags inflate instantlyand protect the occupants of thevehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants and their exit if necessary fromthe vehicle. The air bags are not deployed in the case of collisions which are not
serious, for which the seat belt is suffi-cient to ensure maximum protection.The seriousness of a collisiondepends on the nature of the obstacleand the speed of the vehicle at themoment of the collision. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the
cushion can be a minor irritant. Disarming the passenger* air bag
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the passen-ger air bag when you install a rear-facing child seat on the front pas-senger seat.
Remove the ignition key, insert it into the passenger airbag switch 1
and turn it to the "OFF"position,
then remove it, maintaining thisposition.
The air bag warning light onthe instrument panel is litthroughout the disarmingprocess.
* According to specification.

In the
"OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the event of an impact. As soon as you remove the rear-fac- ing child seat from the front passengerseat, turn the air bag switch to the"ON" position, to arm the air bag
again and thus ensure the safety ofyour passenger in an impact. Operating check This is provided by an indicator light, accompanied by an audible signal anda message on the multifunction dis-
play. When the ignition is on (2nd notch on the ignition key), switching on of thiswarning light, accompanied by anaudible signal and the message ''Pas-
senger air bag disarmed'' on the
multifunction screen, indicates that thepassenger air bag is disarmed ( ''OFF''
position on the control).SIDE AIRBAGS* These are incorporated into the frame of the front seat back, on the doorside. They are deployed independently of each other depending on which sidethe collision occurs, in collisions whichcould cause injury to the chest, theabdomen or the head. Operating check This is confirmed by an indica-
tor light on the instrument panel. It comes on for 6 seconds, each time the ignition is switched on. If the indicator light:
Ð does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or
Ð does not go out after 6 seconds or,
Ð flashes for 5 minutes then stays on,
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR VEHICLE
110
Towing a trailer, caravan, boat etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested and approvedfrom the design stage of your vehicle.The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is mainly designed for transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the tow- ing vehicle to more significant stressand its driver must be particularlycareful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.The maximum towing load must bereduced by 10% for every1000 metres of altitude. Driving advice Distribution of loadsDistribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close aspossible to the axle and the noseweight approaches the maximum per-mitted without exceeding it. Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent onthe engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and theoutside temperature. Always pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine assoon as possible.
Tyres Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing therecommended pressures.
Braking
Towing increases the braking dis- tance. Lights Adjust your headlamps so that they do not dazzle other road users.Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer. Side wind
Take into acount the increased sensi- tivity to side wind.
