YOUR 807 IN DETAIL101
To be effective, a seat belt
must be tightened as
close to the body as pos
sible.
If the seats are fitted with arm
rests, the lap section of the seat
belt must always pass under the
armrest.
Sitting with your back to the road
while the vehicle is moving is pro
hibited.
Depending on the nature and the
seriousness of the impact, the pre
tensioners may be triggered
before and independently of the air
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.
For greater safety, have it checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer after this
period.

The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occu
pants in the event of serious colli
sions. They work in conjunction with
the forcelimiting seat belts. The
electronic detectors register and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle : if the triggering thresh
old is reached, the air bags inflate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of collisions which are not seri
ous, for which the seat belt is suffi
cient to ensure maximum protection.
The seriousness of a collision
depends on the nature of the obsta
cle and the speed of the vehicle at
the moment of the collision.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passen
ger air bag is disarmed.
