Seat belts

4

FRONT AND REAR SIDE SEAT
BELTS

The front seats and the rear side seats
of row 2 are fi tted with pre-tensioners
and force limiters. The lap strap must be positioned as
low as possible on the pelvis. The
chest strap must pass over the hollow
of the shoulder.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap. The force-limiting device reduces the
pressure of the seat belt against the
chest of the occupant, so increasing
his protection.

A bag placed on the front
passenger seat or a pet sitting on
this seat may trigger the lighting of
this warning light.
SEAT BELTS


Front seat belt warning light


If the driver and/or front
passenger has/have not
fastened his/their seat belt,
this warning light comes on.
Then, at a speed in excess of
approximately 15 mph (25 km/h), it
fl ashes accompanied by an audible
signal of increasing volume (for
approximately 90 seconds) and a
message on the display.

Row 2 rear side seat belts

For your comfort, if you are not using
the seat belt, slide the seat belt loop to
the upper stop to prevent the tongue
from vibrating.


To adjust the height

-

To lower the attachment point,
squeeze control and slide it
downwards
-
To raise the attachment point, slide
control upwards.



To fasten

-

Pull the strap, then insert the
buckle into the stalk.
-
Check that the seat belt is secured
correctly by pulling the strap.


Inertia reel seat belts

These are fi tted with a device which
locks the seat belt automatically in
the event of an impact or emergency
braking.
Safety in the event of a frontal impact
has been improved by the introduction
of pre-tensioning and force-limiting
seat belts. Depending on the
seriousness of the impact, the pre-
tensioning system instantly tightens the
seat belts fi rmly against the body of the
occupant.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.

Row 3 rear side seat belts

The row 3 rear side seats are fi tted
with two seat belts which are both
three-point inertia reel belts with force
limiter.

Seat belts

Depending on the nature and
seriousness of any impact, the
pretensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of infl ation
of the air bags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Triggering of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is switched on.
The inertia reels are fi tted with a device
which automatically locks the strap in
the event of a collision or emergency
braking or if the vehicle rolls over.
You can unfasten the seat belt by
pressing the red button on the buckle.
Guide the seat belt after unfastening. The upper part of the seat belt should
be positioned in the hollow of the
shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low
as possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as
they will not fulfi l their role completely.
If the seats are fi tted with armrests, the
lap part of the seat belt should always
pass under the armrest.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap fi rmly.


Good practice

The driver must ensure that
passengers use the seat belts correctly
and that they are all strapped in
securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt,
even for short journeys.
The seat belts are fi tted with an inertia
reel which automatically adjusts the
length of the strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs,
clips, safety pins, etc.) which permit a
clearance with the seat belt straps.
Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
rolled up correctly and that the buckle
is ready to accommodate the tongue. To install the seat belt, move the tongue
into position to insert it into the buckle


Row 2 and 3 rear centre seat
belts
The row 2 rear centre seat and the
rear bench seat centre seat have an
integrated three-point inertia reel seat
belt.
The air bag warning light comes on
if the pretensioners are triggered.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
In order to be effective, a seat belt
must:


- restrain one person only,

- must not be twisted, check by
pulling in front of you with an even
movement,

- be tightened as close to the body
as possible.
Recommendations for children:


- use a suitable child seat if the
passenger is less than 12 years old
or shorter than one metre fi fty,

- never allow a child to travel on
your lap, even with the seat belt
fastened.
For further information regarding child
seats, refer to the "Children on board"
section of chapter 4.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, your PEUGEOT dealer
guarantees all work or any checks,
from testing to maintenance, on your
seat belt equipment.
Have the seat belts checked regularly
(even after a minor impact) by a
PEUGEOT dealer: they must not show
any signs of wear, cutting or fraying
and they must not be transformed or
modifi ed.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a textile cleaning product, sold
by PEUGEOT dealers.

Airbags
4

Side air bags

If fi tted on your vehicle, this is a 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.
Each side air bag is incorporated in the
front seat back frame, on the door side. The curtain air bag infl ates between
the front or rear occupant of the vehicle
and the windows.

Impact detection zones


A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.

In the event of a minor impact or
bump on the side of the vehicle or
if the vehicle rolls over, the air bag
may not be triggered.
The air bag is not triggered in the event
of a rear or front collision.

Operating fault


Curtain air bags

If fi tted on your vehicle, this is a
system which protects the driver and
passengers (with the exception of the
centre seats of rows 2 and 3) in the
event of a serious side impact in order
to limit the risk of head injuries.
Each curtain air bag is incorporated
in the pillars and the upper part of the
passenger compartment.
Activation
It is triggered unilaterally in the event
of a serious side impact applied to
all or part 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 side air bag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim pad.
Activation
It is triggered at the same time as the
corresponding side air bag in the event
of a serious side impact applied to
all or part 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. If this warning light comes
on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
display, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system
checked. The air bags may no longer
be triggered in the event of a serious
impact.

Airbags

Disarming
The passenger's front air bag alone
can be disarmed:




- With
the
ignition
switched
off
,
insert the key into the passenger air
bag disarming switch,

- turn it to the "OFF"
position,
-


then remove the key keeping the
slot in this position.

Front air bags

The front air bags are incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the fascia for the front
passenger.

Front air bag fault
Reactivation
In the "OFF"
position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the "ON"

position to re-activate the air bag
and thus ensure the safety of your
passenger in the event of an impact. To ensure the safety of your
child, it is essential to disarm the
passenger air bag when you install
a rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the air bag were to infl ate.
The air bag warning light
on the instrument panel is
lit throughout the period of
disarming.
If the two air bag warning lights
are lit continuously, do not install
a rear-facing child seat. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Activation
They are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front air bag
has been disarmed, in the event of a
serious front impact applied to all or
part of the front impact zone A
in the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane directed from the
front towards the rear of the vehicle.
The front air bag infl ates between
the front occupant of the vehicle and
the fascia to cushion his forward
movement. If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the
display, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system
checked.

104


Towing a trailer

On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake
gradually. Please contact a PEUGEOT dealer
fi rst for further information.


Automatic adjustment
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, and if
the change in load makes it necessary,
this system automatically corrects the
height of the beam after approximately
2 minutes. The driver is then assured
of having optimum lighting and not
causing a nuisance to other road
users.


In certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the
maximum load up a steep slope
in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, cutting off the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be
recovered, and therefore the towing
speed to be signifi cantly increased
(approximately 12 mph [20 km/h]
more). Sequential control of the
gearbox may also become unavailable.

Lighting

Bicycle carrier

Refer to the "Identifi cation
features" section of chapter 8. Refer to the "Steering wheel
controls" section of chapter 3.




When using a trailer connection,
you must add a fuse. Refer to
the "Changing a fuse" section of
chapter 7.
If the coolant temperature warning light
comes on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as possible.

Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressure.
Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.






Towbar

We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars, which have been
tested for endurance from the design
stage of your vehicle.
Towing equipment must be fi tted in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions, with particular attention to
the towing capacities of your vehicle,
the load towed, the nose weight and
the electrical connection. As this fi tting
should be carried out by a professional,
we recommend that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
In accordance with the general
instructions referred to above, we draw
your attention to the risk connected
with fi tting a towbar or other electrical
accessory which is not recommended
by the PEUGEOT network. Fitting such
equipment could result in a failure of
your vehicle's electronic system.
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
If you fi t a bicycle carrier on
the tailgate, deactivate the
rear wiper from the display's
confi guration menu.
