If the driver does not fasten their seat belt
within one minute after switching on the
ignition, the warning lamp flashes accompanied
by an intermittent audible signal.
After about 90 seconds, the warning lamp, the
audible signal and the display stop, and then
return until the driver fastens their seat belt.
If the seat belt is unfastened while the vehicle
is moving , you are warned by the same alerts.
The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
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 occupants.
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 occupant, so
improving their protection.
Unfastening
F Press the red button on the buckle A

When the ignition is switched on, this
warning lamp comes on accompanied

Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened 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 fulfill their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting automatic adjustment of the
length of the strap to your size. 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 are fitted with an automatic
locking device which comes into operation in
the event of a collision, emergency braking
or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling the strap firmly and
then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Recommendations 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 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 bear any trace 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 rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning device may be deployed
before and independently of the airbags.
Deployment 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.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belts
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.

Lateral airbags
Deployment
A lateral airbag is deployed 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 lateral airbag inflates between the hip and
shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the corresponding door trim panel. 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,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Curtain airbags
System which protects the driver and
passengers in the event of a serious side
impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head.
Each curtain airbag is fitted in the pillars
and the upper section of the passenger
compartment. In the event of a minor impact or bump
on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be
triggered.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
the airbag is not triggered.
Deployment
Each curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag 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 curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked. The airbags may no longer
be deployed in the event of a serious
impact.

Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures in the four tyres are
suitable for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and as specified on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
cannot warn of an incorrect pressure at
the time of reinitialisation.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the
reference pressure is reinitialised after
the reinflation, repair or replacement
of the tyres concerned. In the event of
the repair or replacement of tyres, the
sensor identifiers must be registered in
the system by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

Managing sets of wheels
and tyres
Selection of the other set of wheels and tyres is
done via the instrument panel screen, with the
ignition on and the vehicle stationary.
After fitting the new set of wheels and
tyres, you should check and adjust the
tyre pressures to the values specified
on the tyre pressure label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section. The system automatically reinitialises
the reference pressure based on the
pressure in the new set (the under-
inflation detection warning lamp flashes
during the operation).
If you have had a second set of wheels and
tyres registered by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop, every time you change the
set of wheels (fitting a set of winter tyres, for
example), you must select the set you have just
