Safety




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.
The seat belts are fitted with an iner tia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the length
of the strap to your size. The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper par t must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The iner tia 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 firmly on the strap and
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 shor ter 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. In order to be effective, a seat belt must:


- be tightened as close to the body as
possible,

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

- be used to restrain only one person,

- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

- not be conver ted or modified to avoid
affecting its per formance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle,
go to a qualified workshop with the skills
and equipment needed, which a PEUGEOT
dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
par ticularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold by
PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.


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 car tridge
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 PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Safety
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

object...). This could hamper the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.

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

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.

compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can

to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.

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
part of the wheel.

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.
