Airbags
122

AIRBAGS

The airbags have been designed to optimise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
a serious collision; they work in conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:


- in the event of a serious collision, the
airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection of
occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags rapidly
deflate so as to not hinder visibility or
the possible exit by the occupants,

- in the event of a less serious impact,
an impact to the rear and in certain
conditions of rollover, the airbags are not deployed; the seat belts alone contribute
towards providing protection in these
situations.

Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on.

Front airbags

These are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard
for the front passenger. They are deployed
simultaneously, except in cases where the
passenger airbag has been deactivated.
Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, resulting from the
activation of the pyrotechnic charge included
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful but may be an
irritant to sensitive persons.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Front airbag fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked.

Good practice


If your vehicle is fitted with front, lateral
and curtain airbags, in order for these to
be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child, animal,
object...).
This could hamper the operation of the
airbags or injure the occupants.
All work on the airbag systems is strictly
prohibited unless it is carried out by qualified
personnel of the PEUGEOT network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible; deployment of
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.
Lateral airbags

Only put approved covers on the front seats.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the front seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.


Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the pillars or
the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the bolts from the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING TOCHILD SEATS


Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:


- all children under the age of 12 or less
than one metre fifty tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their
weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or
ISOFIX mountings.

- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats,

- a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearwards-facing" position
both in the front and in the rear,

- the passenger must not travel with a
child on their lap.



"Rearwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats
up to the age of 2.
When a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front passenger seat,
it is essential that the passenger airbag is
deactivated. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to inflate.
"Forwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats
over the age of 2.
When a "forwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front passenger seat,
leave the passenger airbag activated.

universally approved in accordance with the weight of the child and the seat in the vehicle.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
in
relation to the child's body to a minimum
,
even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is in contact with the back of
the vehicle's seat and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached securely
to prevent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not travel
in the "forward facing" position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are
already occupied by other children, cannot
be used or are absent. Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
"rear facing" child seat is installed on the
front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
to inflate.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,

- the keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors,
use the "Child Lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds to the rear windows.

Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fitted with a
seat belt guide at shoulder level.


Crew cab

Do not install child seats, booster cushions
or carrycots on the rear seats of the cab.
