Air bags
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.
Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger ’s front air bag has been
disarmed, in the event of a serious front
impact.
The front air bag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his forward movement.
Disarming
The passenger ’s front air bag alone can be
disarmed. The air bag is disarmed from the
trip computer. The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming. 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 inflate.
Refer to the "MENU" section of
chapter 3, then select OFF on the
"Passenger air bag" menu.
Operating fault
If the two air bag warning lights are lit
continuously, do not install a rear-facing
child seat. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer . 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 without delay
to have the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the event of a
serious impact.
