Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor
fix or attach anything close to or in the way of
the airbag release trajectory; this could cause
injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries
in case of airbag deployment.
Curtain airbags
Do not attach anything or hang anything to
the roof, as this could cause head injuries
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not attach or hang anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could cause
injuries to the thorax or arm when the lateral
airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors – Risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

with the latest ISOFIX regulations.
The seats, shown below, are fitted with ISOFIX
compliant mountings:
There are three rings for each seat: This arrangement reduces forward tipping of
the child seat in the event of a front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two latches
which are secured on the two rings A.
Some seats also have an upper strap which is
attached to ring B . F

before fitting the seat, first move the
centre rear seat belt towards the middle
of the vehicle, so as to avoid inter ference
with the operation of the seat belt.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.

Advice
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat as this could
make it unstable.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it for wards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:
-
a "
rear ward facing" child seat,
-

t
he feet of a child seated in a "for ward
facing" child seat.
For this, move the seat for ward and if
necessary straighten its backrest too. For optimal installation of the "forward facing"
child seat, verify that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle
seat, if possible in contact with it.
The head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on a
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint once
the child seat has been removed.
Children in front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag when
a rear ward facing child seat is installed on the
front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed. Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends using a booster seat
with a backrest, equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and unattended in
a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle exposed
to the sun, with the windows closed,
-

t
he keys within the reach of children inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of the
sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
