In good or rainy weather, by day and
night, using the front and rear foglamps is
prohibited. In these situations, the power
of their beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or falling
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually as
the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to turn off the front and rear
foglamps as soon as they are no longer
necessary.
Switching off of the lighting when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lighting turns off immediately, except for
dipped beam if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated. Switching on the lighting after the
ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, set
the ring to position "

This function can be used at any speed,
but it is particularly useful for changing
lane on fast roads.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
When a low level of ambient light is detected by
t he sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action
on the part of the driver. They may also come
on if rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to
a
sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers
are switched off, the lamps are switched off
automatically.

Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles
as they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment of
the length of the strap to your size. The
seat belt is stowed automatically when not
in use.
The inertia reels have an automatic
locking device at the time of a collision,
during sudden braking or if the vehicle
turns over. You can release the device by
pulling the strap firmly and then releasing
it so that it reels in slightly.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a
seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and reeled in correctly. Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-

b
e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-

b
e used to restrain only one person,
-

n
ot show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-

n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a
suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12
years old or shorter than
one and a
half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one child.
Never allow a
child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats , refer
to the corresponding section. Maintenance
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle's seat belts, go to a
qualified
workshop with the skills and equipment
needed, which a
PEUGEOT dealer is able
to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop, particularly if the straps show
signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a
textile cleaning product, sold by
PEUGEOT dealers.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pyrotechnic pretensioner may be deployed
before and independently of the airbags.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a
slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a
noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked and, if necessary,
replaced, by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Safety

65
AirbagsImpact detection zones
A.Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or more airbags
is accompanied by a
slight emission of
smoke and a
noise, due to the detonation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of one or more airbags may
result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
General information
System designed to contribute towards
improving passenger safety (with the exception
of the rear centre passenger) in the event of
violent collisions. The airbags supplement the
action of the seat belts fitted with force limiters
(all except 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:
-

i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception of the rear
centre passenger); immediately after the
impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so that
they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
occupants,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or
in certain rollover conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If
a
second impact occurs (during the same
or a
subsequent accident), the airbag will
not be deployed again.
Front airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a severe frontal
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the front
passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the
event of a
serious front impact to all or part
of the front impact zone 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 steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their
for ward movement.
