SAFETY
For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the
following safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat
belt.
Do not leave anything between
the occupants and the airbags
(a child, pet, object...). This could
hamper the operation of the air-
bags or injure the occupants. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resti
ng your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cau se burns or the
risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Side airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder i nfl ation of the
side airbags. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fi x or apply anything to the seat backs. This could ca use injury to the
chest or arms if the side air bag is triggered.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nea rer to the door than necessary.
After an accident or if the vehi-
cle has been stolen or broken
into, have the airbag systems
checked.
All work on the airbag system is
strictly forbidden unless it is car-
ried out by qualifi ed personnel of
the PEUGEOT dealer network.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, a risk of in-
jury or of minor burns to the head,
chest or arms when an airbag
is triggered cannot be ruled out.
The bag infl ates almost instantly
(within a few milliseconds) then
defl ates within the same time dis-
charging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose. Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or apply anything to the roof. This could cause
injury to the head if
the curtain airbag is triggered.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on the ro of, they play a part in securing
the curtain airbags.
