the driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained securely 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 fulfil their role fully.
th
e seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the
length of the strap to your size.
t
h
e seat belt
is stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
th

e lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
th

e upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
th

e inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, 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.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, refer to the "Child
seats" section.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-
b
e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

b

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

b

e used to restrain only one person,
-

n

ot bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
-

n

ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the airbags.
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 lamp
comes


on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's
seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
P
e

uge
Ot d

ealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger)
in the event of violent collisions. t
h
e airbags
supplement the action of the force-limiting
seat belts (with the exception of the centre rear
passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger); immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or the exit
of the occupants,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
th

is equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again. Deployment of one or more of the
airbags is accompanied by a slight
emission of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
th

is smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
th

e noise of detonation related to the
deployment of one or more airbags may
result in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
Front airbags
Deployment
the airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated,
in the event of a serious front impact applied
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.
th

e front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their forward movement. System which contributes toward improving
protection for the head and chest of the driver
and front passenger in the event of a front
impact.
th
e 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.
