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.

Airbags
The airbags have been designed to contribute 
towards improving the safety of the occupants 
in the event of violent collisions. They 
supplement the action of the force-limiting seat 
belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors record and 
analyse the front and side impacts suffered in 
the impact detection zones:
- 
i
 n the event of a serious impact, the 
airbags are deployed instantaneously 
and contribute towards protecting the 
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after 
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so 
that they do not hinder the visibility of the 
occupants or their possible exit from the 
vehicle,
-
 
i
 n the event of a minor impact or rear 
impact and in certain roll-over conditions, 
the airbags may not be deployed; the seat 
belt alone contributes towards providing 
your protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the 
ignition is off.
This equipment only operates once. If a 
second impact occurs (during the same 
or a subsequent accident), the airbag 
will not be deployed again. The deployment of one or more airbags 
is accompanied by a slight discharge 
of smoke 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 some 
irritation.
The noise of the detonation related to 
the deployment of one or more airbags 
may result in a slight loss of hearing for 
a short time.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S
ide impact zone.
Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the 
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, 
in the event of a serious front impact applied 
to all or part of the front 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 front 
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to 
cushion their forward movement. System which protects the head and chest of 
the driver and front passenger in the event of a 
front impact.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the 
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is 
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

Deactivation
Only the front passenger's airbag can be 
deactivated:
F 
w
 ith the ignition off , insert the key in the 
passenger airbag deactivation switch A ,
F
 
t
 urn it to the "OFF"  position,
F
 
r
 emove the key. This warning lamp comes on in the centre 
console when the ignition is on and until the 
airbag is reactivated.
To ensure the safety of your child, the 
passenger airbag must be deactivated 
when you install a rear ward facing child 
seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being 
seriously injured or killed if the airbag 
were deployed.
Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn 
switch  A to the "ON"  position to reactivate the 
airbag and so ensure the safety of your front 
passenger in the event of an impact.
The associated warning lamp goes off.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the 
instrument panel, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop
  without 
delay to have the system checked. The 
airbags may no longer be deployed in 
the event of a serious impact.
In this case, do not install a child seat 
or seat an adult on the front passenger 
seat.

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.

For the airbags to be fully 
effective, observe the safety 
recommendations below:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the 
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, 
object...), nor fix or attach anything close to 
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; 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 or broken into, have the airbag 
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be 
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are 
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns 
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is 
deployed cannot be ruled out. 
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, 
compatible with the deployment the lateral 
airbags. For information on the range of seat 
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can 
contact a PEUGEOT  dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat 
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury 
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is 
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any 
nearer to the door than necessary.
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 with deployment of the airbags.
Advice
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This 
could cause injury to the head if the curtain 
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the 
grab handles installed on the roof, they play 
a part in securing the curtain airbags.
