Load retaining partition



On the floor, behind the front seats, a vertical
partition protects the driver and front passengers
against the risk of load movement.
Steel or glazed partitions separate the loading
area from the cab.
Recommendations on
loading
The weight of the load must comply with the Gross Train Weight (GTW).
For more information on Engine technical
data and towed loads , refer to the
corresponding section.
If you are using a carrying system (roof
bars/roof rack), comply with the
maximum loads associated with this system.
For more information on Roof bars/Roof
rack , refer to the corresponding section.
Make sure that the size, shape and
volume of the loads carried are
compatible with the highway code and safety
regulations and do not impair the driver’s field
of vision.
The load must be evenly distributed in the loading area so as not to interfere
with driving the vehicle.
Place the load close to the side wall panels,
or push it against the side wall panels
between the wheel arches.
However, it is recommended that heavy
objects are placed as close to the cab as
possible as a precaution in case of sharp
braking.
Firmly secure all parts of the load using
the stowing rings on the floor of the
loading area.
For more information on the Interior fittings
and in particular on the stowing rings, refer to
the corresponding section.
To avoid the risk of injury or accident, the load must be made stable so that it
cannot slide, tip over, fall or be projected. To
do this, use only retaining straps that conform
to current standards (DIN, for example).
For more information on putting straps in
place, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.
To prevent the load from sliding, there must
not be any empty spaces between the load
items and the vehicle wall panels.
As well as the straps, optimise the stability
of the load with stable handling equipment
(wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).
When washing your vehicle, never clean
the inside directly using a water jet.

Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must
always fasten the seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they
will not fulfil their role properly.
To ensure the proper functioning of the belt
buckles, make sure that there are no foreign
bodies present (e.g.
a coin) before fastening.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
At the front, adjusting the position of the
seat belt may require the seat height to be
adjusted.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
–

be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
–


be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it is not twisted.
–


must only be used to secure one person.
– not show signs of tearing or fraying.
– not be changed or modified, in order to
avoid affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5
metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all work on your vehicle's
seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
PEUGEOT


dealer is able to provide.
Have the 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.

Safety
Airbags
General information
System designed to help improve the safety
of the occupants sitting in the front seats and
the rear outer seats, in the event of a violent
collision. The airbags supplement the action
of the seat belts equipped with a force limiting
system.
Electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts sustained in the impact
detection zones:
–
In the event of violent impact, the airbags
deploy instantly and help better protect the
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the
impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not
to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the
occupants.
–


In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact
and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags
may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to
protect you in these situations.
The seriousness of the impact depends on the
nature of the obstacle and the speed of the
vehicle at the moment of collision.
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
* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer t\
o the corresponding section.
subsequent accident), the airbag will not be
deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone
B. Side impact zone
When one or more airbags are deployed,
the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge
incorporated in the system makes a noise and
releases a small quantity of smoke.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of one or more airbags may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags

This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact,
limiting the risk of head and chest injury.
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
They are deployed, except for the front
passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the
event of a violent front impact applied to all or
part of front impact zone A.
The front airbag inflates between the chest and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and
the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the
dashboard, on the passenger's side, to cushion
their forward movement.
