position.
When the ignition is on, this warning
light comes on in the instrument
panel and stays on while the air bag
is deactivated. To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front air bag must be
deactivated when you install a "rear ward
facing" child seat on the front passenger
seat. Otherwise, the child risks being
seriously injured or killed if the air bag is
deployed.
The air bags are deployed, except the
passenger's front air bag if it has been
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 air bag 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.

Side air bags
Malfunction
System that contributes towards improving the
protection of the driver and front passenger 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 side air bag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Deployment
If this warning light comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked. The air bags may no
longer be deployed in the event of a
serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the air bag may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision, the
air bag is not deployed.
They are deployed unilaterally in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
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 side air bag contributes towards the
protection of the front occupant of the vehicle,
between the lower thorax and the head.

Advice
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 side air
bags!
Such work must only be done by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Front air bags
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 air bags
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 fasten or attach anything to the
steering wheel or dashboard, this could
cause injuries with deployment of the air
bags.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Fasten your seat belt, ensuring it is
positioned correctly.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (a child, pet,
object...), nor fix or attach anything close to
the inflation trajectory of the air bags; this
could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the air bags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the air bag
systems checked.
All work on the air bag system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even when following all the precautions
listed, a risk of injuries or slight burns to
the head, the chest or the arms, when an
air bag deploys cannot be excluded. 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. For the air bags to be fully effective, obser ve the safety recommendations below.
Side air bags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the side
air bags. For information on the range of
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a dealer PEUGEOT.
Do not attach anything to or hang anything
from the seat backrests (clothes, etc.) as
this could cause injuries to the thorax or arm
when the side air bag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.

Fuel cut- of f
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device
which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a
collision.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
(Depending on the country of sale.)
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of
engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
Operation
It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the flap of the misfuel
prevention device and pour slowly.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle. Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the PEUGEOT
dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.

top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face. Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle :
