Safety
Airbags


System designed to maximise the safety of the
occupants (with the exception of the rear centre
passenger) in the event of violent collisions.
The 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:


- in 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,

- in the case of a minor or rear impact
or in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will 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.

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. Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emission
of smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.



Impact detection zones



A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side 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.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their for ward movement. System which protects the head and chest of
the driver and front passenger in the event of a
front impact.
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.

160
Safety
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 airbags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.








Knee airbag *

Do not sit with your knees any nearer to the
steering wheel than necessary.



Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting 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 cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.















For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:


Lateral airbags

Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Refer to the "Accessories" section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.


*
According to country.



Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the curtain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a part in securing the curtain airbags.


Avoid attaching a heavy object to the key as
it could become a dangerous projectile if the
airbag were deployed.

General points relating to child seats


For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:


- in accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to
their weight
, on seats fitted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,

- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the
rear seats,


- a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rear wards-facing"
position both in the front and in the
rear.



















PEUGEOT recommends
that children
should travel on the rear seats
of your
vehicle:


- "rearward-facing"
up to the age of 3,

- "forward-facing"
over the age of 3.


Although one of PEUGEOT main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children
also depends on you.

*
The rules for carrying children are specific to
each country. Refer to the legislation in force
in your country.

Safety








Child seat in the front *


"Rearward-facing"
"Forward-facing"


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

When a "for ward-facing" child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat
, adjust the
vehicle's seat to the intermediate longitudinal
and highest position with seat backrest
straightened and leave the passenger's airbag
activated.

"Rearward facing"


When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat
, move the vehicle's
front seat for wards and straighten the backrest
so that the "rear ward facing" child seat does
not touch the vehicle's front seat.



"Forward facing"


When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat
, move the vehicle's
front seat for wards and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the "for ward
facing" child seat do not touch the vehicle's
front seat.



Centre rear seat


A child seat with a support leg must never be
installed on the centre rear passenger seat

Safety
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
For information on the possibilities for
installing ISOFIX child seats in your
vehicle, refer to the summary table. To secure the child seat to the TOP TETHER
:


- remove and stow the head restraint before
installing the child seat on the seat (refit it
once the child seat has been removed),

- pass the upper strap of the child seat
behind the seat backrest, between the
apertures for the head restraint rods,

- fix the hook of the upper strap to the ring B
,

- tighten the upper strap. When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the left
hand rear seat, before fitting the seat, first
move the centre rear seat belt towards the
middle of the vehicle, so as to avoid the seat
inter fering with the operation of the seat belt.
Follow strictly the fitting instructions provided
by with the child seat.
