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.
It supplements the action of the force-limiting
seat belts (with the exception of the rear centre
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 protect 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
cer tain roll-over conditions, the airbags
will not be deployed; the seat belt alone is
sufficient to provide optimum 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
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic car tridge
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 simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front airbag is deactivated, in the
event of a serious front impact to all or par t 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 thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side to cushion their
for ward movement. System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
thorax.
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.

Safety






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.

Practical information





Towing a trailer, a caravan, etc.

We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the trailer is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted
using the vehicle's electrical pre-
equipment, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting and
signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transpor ting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take
particular care.


Blanking cover

When towing, you must remove the blanking
cover in the front bumper if your vehicle has
one.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for this.
