seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the passengers. The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the passenger, so
improving their protection.

Driving recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-

c

rossing and driving on terrain which
could damage the underbody or strip
away components (fuel pipe, fuel
cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones,
in particular,
-
d
riving on terrain with steep gradients
and poor grip,
-

c

153
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
restrained securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not completely fulfil their role.
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia
reel which allows the strap length to adjust
automatically to your shape. The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be positioned
as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels have an automatic blocking
device at the time of a collision, during
sudden braking or if the vehicle turns over.
You can release the device by pulling the
strap firmly and then releasing it so that it
reels in slightly.Instructions for children
Use a suitable child seat, if the passenger
is less than 12
years old or shorter than
one and a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats , refer
to the corresponding section.
In case of impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact, the pyrotechnic may be
deployed before and independent of the
airbags. Deployment of the pyrotechnics
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp is lit.
After an impact, get the seat belt system
checked and, if necessary, have it
replaced by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-
b e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not twist,
-

b
e used to restrain only one person,
-

n
ot show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-

n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety regulations,
for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go
to a qualified workshop with the skills and
equipment needed, which a PEUGEOT dealer
is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or
a textile cleaning product, sold by PEUGEOT
dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.

Airbags
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.
Impact detection zones
Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The noise of detonation associated with
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in slight and temporary loss of
hearing.

Front airbags
System which protects the driver and
passenger(s) 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 airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger front airbag if it is deactivated, in
the event of a serious front impact to all or part
of the frontal 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 side to cushion their
for ward movement.
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of passengers (with the
exception of the centre seat in rows 2

and
3, depending on your vehicle) in the event of
violent collisions. The airbags supplement the
effect of the seat belts with force limiter.
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

i

n the event of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the passengers
(with the exception of the centre seat in
rows 2

and 3, as applicable); immediately
after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder visibility or the
exit of the passengers,
-

i

n the case of a minor or rear impact or
in certain rollover conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
Safety

156
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.),
nor fix or attach anything close or in the way
of airbag trajectory; this could cause injuries
during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Even when following all the precautions
listed, a risk of injuries or slight burns to
the head, the chest or the arms, when an
airbag deploys cannot be excluded. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Front airbags
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.
Do not smoke as 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.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries
in case of airbag deployment.
Curtain airbags
Do not attach anything or hang anything to the
roof, as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a part in
securing the curtain airbags. Side airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not attach or hang anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could cause
injuries to the thorax or arm when the side
airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors – Risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
