SAFETY





The driver must ensure that passen-
gers use the seat belts correctly and
that they are all restrained securely
before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the ve-
hicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfi l their role
fully.
The seat belts are fi tted 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.
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 fi tted with an au-
tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a col-
lision, emergency braking or if the
vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling fi rmly on the
strap and releasing it so that it reels
in slightly.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:



- be tightened as close to the body
as possible,

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

- be used to restrain only one
person,

- not bear any trace of cuts or
fraying,

- not be converted or modifi ed to
avoid affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle, go to a qualifi ed workshop
with the skills and equipment need-
ed, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able
to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed 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 pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to se-
cure more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your
lap.

In the event of an impact

Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impact
, the pre-
tensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the
airbags. Deployment of the preten-
sioners 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 neces-
sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
