Airbags
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 airbags
are deployed instantly and help better
protect the occupants of the vehicle;
immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly in order not to hinder
the visibility or the possible exit of the
occupants.
-

I
n the event of a slight impact, an impact
at the rear and, under certain conditions of
rollover, the airbags may not deploy; only
the seat belt helps to protect you 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.
Impact detection zones
A Front impact zone.
B Side impact zone.
Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
Although this smoke is not harmful,
sensitive individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise generated by the deployment
of one or more airbags (detonation)
may result in mild and temporary loss of
hearing.
Front airbags
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 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
passenger's front airbag 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.

Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the latter is in firm contact with the
floor. If necessary adjust the passenger

When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat
, adjust the seat to
the intermediate longitudinal position, with the
backrest straightened.
The passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated. Otherwise, the child would
risk being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed .
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed on
the front passenger seat , adjust the vehicle's
seat to the intermediate longitudinal position with
the seat backrest straightened and leave the
passenger's front airbag activated.

Deactivating the
passenger's front airbag
Never install a "rear ward facing" child
restraining system on a protected seat
with an activated front airbag. This can
cause death or serious injury to the child.
Passenger airbag OFF
Deactivation
When the ignition is on, this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and stays on while the airbag
is deactivated.
To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag 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 airbag is
deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the "rear ward facing" child
seat, with the ignition off , turn the switch to
the ON position to reactivate the airbag and so
assure the safety of your front passenger in the
event of an impact.
The warning label, located on each side of the
passenger sun visor repeats this instruction. This label is located on the middle door pillar,
passenger side. In line with current legislation, you will find this
warning in all the required languages in the
following tables.

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.
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 under 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.
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.
