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 fulfi l their
role fully.
The seat belts are fi tted 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 fi tted 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 fi rmly on the strap and releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
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 does not twist,
- be used to restrain only one person,
- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,
- not be converted or modifi ed to avoid affecting its performance. In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle, go to a qualifi ed 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
qualifi ed 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.
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.
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 qualifi ed workshop.

FRONT AIRBAGS
System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of
a serious front impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the head \
and
chest.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front
passenger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it is
deactivated, in the event of a serious front impact to all or part of th\
e
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 infl ates between the chest and head of the front
occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side to cushion their forward movement.
Deactivation
Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated:
 with the ignition off , insert the key in the passenger airbag
deactivation switch,
 turn it to the "OFF" position,
 then, remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.
To assure the safety of your child, the passenger's front airbag
must be deactivated when you install a "rearward facing" child
seat on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed. This warning lamp comes on in the passenger's front airbag
warning lamps display when the ignition is on and until the
airbag is reactivated.

Reactivation
When you remove the child seat, turn the switch to the "ON" position to
reactivate the airbag and so assure the safety of your front passenger i\
n
the event of an impact.
With the ignition on, this warning lamp comes on in the seat
belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamps display for
approximately one minute, if the passenger's front airbag is
activated.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the
screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be
deployed in the event of a serious impact.
LATERAL AIRBAGS
System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a
violent side impact in order to limit the risks of injury to the pelvis,\
chest
and head * .
The lateral airbags are installed on the outer side of the seat:
- one part in the front seat frame (chest-pelvis airbag),
- one part in the front head restraint * (head airbag).
Deployment
It is deployed unilaterally in the event of a violent impact applied to \
all or part of the side impact zone B , operating at right angles to the
longitudinal axis of the vehicle in a horizontal plane and from the
exterior of the vehicle towards the interior.
The lateral airbag comes between the front occupant of the vehicle and
the corresponding door trim panel.
* Except for the 1.6 litre THP 270 hp version.

SAFETY
RCZ_EN_CHAP05_SECURITE_ED02-2013
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following
safety rules:
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 hamper 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 must be carried out by 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. 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.
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.
If possible, 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.
Lateral airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause
injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is triggered.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than
necessary.

Although one of PEUGEOT main criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also depends on you. Only children between 9 and 18 kg can be carried on the rear
seats in a forward facing universal ISOFIX child seat.

all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and a half metres tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their weight , on seats fi tted with a
seat belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,

CHILD SEAT AT THE REAR
PEUGEOT recommends that children should travel in the outer
rear seats of your vehicle:
- "rearward facing" up to the age of 3,
