Pre-tensioning and force-limitingfront seat belts Safety in the event of a frontal impact has been improved by the introduc-tion of pre-tensioning and force-limit-ing front seat belts. Depending onthe seriousness of the impact, thepre-tensioning system instantly tight-ens the seat belt firmly against thebody of the occupant. The pre-tensioning seat belts are active when the ignition is on. The force-limiting device reduces the pressure of the seat belt against theoccupant's body in the event of anaccident. Rear seat belts The rear seats are fitted with two three-point inertia reel belts.

To
be effective, a seat
belt must be tightened as close to the body as pos-sible.
Depending on the nature and theseriousness of the impact, thepre-tensioners may be triggeredbefore and independently of theair bags. In all cases, the air bag warning light comes on. Following a collision, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer. The system has been designed to be fully operational for ten years. Have it replaced after this period.

Make a careful note of the number on each key. The key number is coded on the label attached to the key. If the keys are lost, your PEUGEOT dealer can rapidly supply you with new keys.The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility that it may unlock your vehicle, without you being aware of it.The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when the ignition is switched off, except for reprogramming.
However, do not operate the deadlocking function if there is anyone inside the vehicle.Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more difficult
in an emergency. As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the ignition key when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.Do not repeatedly press the button of your remote control out of range of your vehicle. Y ou run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have to be reprogrammed.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:- ensure that you are given the confidential card;
- have the key codes memorised by a PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones which can start the vehicle.
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system.
