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.
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 (see "Practical information - § Accessories"). 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 par t of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre par t 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.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the cur tain airbag is deployed. Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a par t in securing the cur tain airbags.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:

Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or par t of the side impact zone B , perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle. The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.
System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest, between the hip and the shoulder. Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest frame, door side.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone. B. Side impact zone.
Curtain airbags
System which protects the driver and passengers (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the side of the head. Each cur tain airbag is built into the pillars and the upper passenger compar tment area.
In the event of a minor impact or bump on the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be deployed. In the event of a rear or front collision, the airbag is not deployed.
Deployment
The cur tain airbag is deployed at the same time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or par t of the side impact zone B , perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle. The cur tain airbag inflates between the front or rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.

Temporary puncture repair kit
Access to the kit
List of tools
All of these tools are specific to your vehicle and can vary according to equipment. Do not use them for other purposes. 1. 12 V compressor. Contains a sealant car tridge for the
temporary repair of a tyre and can also be used for adjusting tyre pressures. 2. One chock * to block one of the front wheels of the vehicle. 3. Removable towing eye. See "Towing the vehicle".
* Depending on destination country or equipment.

Practical information
A. "Sealant" or "Air" position selector. B. On "I" /off "O" switch. C. Deflation button. D. Pressure gauge (in bar or p.s.i.). E. Compar tment housing: - a cable with adaptor for 12 V socket, - various inflation adaptors for accessories, such as balls, bicycle tyres...
Description of the kit
F. Sealant car tridge. G. White pipe with cap for repair. H. Black pipe for inflation. I. Speed limit sticker.
The speed limit sticker I must be affixed to the vehicle's steering wheel to remind you that a wheel is in temporary use. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) when driving with a tyre repaired using this type of kit.

Practical information
pressure is not attained, this indicates that the tyre is not repairable; contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for assistance.
 Switch on the compressor by moving the switch B to position "I" until the tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars. The sealant is injected into the tyre under pressure; do not disconnect the pipe from the valve during this operation (risk of
splashing).
 Remove the kit and screw the cap back on the white pipe. Take care to avoid staining your vehicle with traces of fluid. Keep the kit to hand.  Drive immediately for approximately three miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed
(between 15 and 35 mph [20 and 60 km/h]), to plug the puncture.  Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit. Tyre under-infl ation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-inflation detection, the under-inflation warning lamp will remain on after the wheel has been repaired until the system is reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
