Advice
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- M ust be tightened as close to the body
as possible,
-

M
ust be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, ensuring that it is not
twisted,
-

M
ust only be used to secure one person,
-

M
ust not show signs of tear or fraying.
-

M
ust not be changed or modified, in
order to avoid affecting its per formance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop
provider with the skills and equipment
needed, which a PEUGEOT network is able
to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by
the network PEUGEOT or someone 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.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly. 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 person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats
, refer to
the corresponding section.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impacts , the pyrotechnic device
may trigger before and independently of
airbag deployment. 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 light is on.
After an impact, get the seat belt system
checked and if necessary have it replaced
by the network PEUGEOT or by qualified
workshop.
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 completely fulfil their role.
The safety belts are equipped with an
inertia reel which allows the strap length to
automatically adjust to your shape. The seat
belt returns to its storage automatically when
it is not used.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
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.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in the
event of a collision or emergency braking or
if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the
device by pulling the strap firmly and then
releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

Air bags
Designed to contribute to the safety of the
occupants in case of violent collisions The
airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
I
n the event of violent impact, the air
bags are deployed instantly and help
better protect occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly in order not to hinder
the visibility nor the possible exit of the
occupants.
-

I
n the event of a non violent impact, impact
on the back and under certain conditions of
a rollover, the air bags may not deploy; only
the seat belt helps to protect you in these
situations.Impact detection zones Front air bags
The air bags 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. The deployment of an air bag 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 an air bag may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.
A
Front impact zone.
B Side impact zone. System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
thorax.
The driver's air bag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's air bag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Starting-switching off the engine
Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a special code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off, and prevents
the engine being started by anyone who does
not have the key. or In the event of a fault, you are
informed by the illumination of this
warning light, an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Keep safely, away from your vehicle, the
label attached to the keys given to you on
when you purchased your vehicle.
Key star ter
It has 3 positions:
- position 1 (Stop): insert and removing the
key, steering column locked,
-
position 2 (Ignition on) : steering column
unlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating,
engine running,
-
position 3 (Starting) .
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reserve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode : the power supply is
cut off automatically to preserve the remaining
battery charge.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key
or the remote control, which would weigh
down on its blade in the ignition switch
and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment of
the front airbag.
