Airbags

92


Good practice

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...). This could hinder the
operation of the airbags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system is strictly
forbidden unless it is carried out by
qualifi ed personnel at a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed 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. In fact,
the bag infl ates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then defl ates within
the same time discharging the hot gas
via openings provided for this purpose.
Lateral airbags
Only put recommended covers on
the seats. These will not hinder
infl ation of the lateral airbags. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the
chest or arms when the lateral airbag
infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place
their feet on the dashboard, they risk
serious injury if the airbag is deployed.
Smoke as little as possible 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.

Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.

This equipment only operates once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not operate.
The deployment of an airbag or 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 may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
It is imperative that the
passenger's airbag is deactivated
if a child seat is installed facing
rearwards. Refer to the "Children on
board" section of chapter 4.

Front airbags

The front airbags are fi tted in the
centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger(s).

Deployment
They are deployed simultaneously,
unless the passenger's front airbag
has been 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 directed from the
front towards the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can
be deactivated:


- With the ignition switched off
,
insert the key into the passenger's
airbag deactivation switch

- turn it to the "OFF"
position,

- then remove the key keeping the
switch in the new position.
The airbag warning lamp
in the instrument panel
remains on while the airbag is
deactivated. If the two airbag warning lamps
are on continuously, do not install
a rear-facing child seat. Contact
a PEUGEOT or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Front airbag fault
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to deactivate the
passenger airbag when you install
a rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the airbag were to infl ate.
Reactivation

In the "OFF"
position, the passenger airbag
will not be deployed in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the airbag switch to the "ON"

position to reactivate the airbag
and thus ensure the safety of your
passenger in the event of an impact.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
in the screen, consult a
PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop to have
the system checked.

Towing a trailer

For more information about
weights, refer to the administrative
documents (registration
document, …) or to the "Weights"
section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC…


Distribution of loads

Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.

Cooling

Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.


Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

Snow chains

122
SNOW CHAINS


In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking.

The snow chains must be fi tted
only to the driving wheels. They
must never be fi tted to "space-
saver" type spare wheels.

Take account of the legislation in
force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maximum
running speed authorised.
Advice on installation


)
If you have to fi t the chains during
a journey, stop the vehicle on a fl at
surface on the side of the road.

)
Apply the parking brake and
position any wheel chocks to
prevent movement of your vehicle.

)
Fit the chains following the
instructions provided by the
manufacturer.

)
Move off gently and drive for a
few moments, without exceeding
30 mph (50 km/h).

)
Stop your vehicle and check that
the snow chains are correctly
tightened.


Avoid driving on roads that have
been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road surface. It is recommended
that before you leave, you practise
fi tting the snow chains on a level and
dry surface. If your vehicle is fi tted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fi xings is in contact with the
wheel rim.


Use only the chains designed to be
fi tted to the type of wheel fi tted to your
vehicle:

Original tyre size
Maximum link
size.

195/65 R15

9 mm
195/70 R15
