Instructions 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 case of impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pyrotechnic system 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 is lit.
After an impact, get the seat belt system
checked and if necessary have it replaced
by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.Airbags
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with the
exception of the centre seat in row 2) in the
event of violent collisions.
The airbags supplement the action of the force-
limiting seat belts.
If a
collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

i
n the event of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
(with the exception of the centre seat in row
2); immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate rapidly so that they do not hinder
visibility or the exit of the occupants,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or
in certain rollover conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
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
subsequent accident), the airbag will
not be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A. Frontal impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Airbag deployment generates slight
smoke emissions and a
noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
Although this smoke is not harmful,
sensitive individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise generated by the deployment
of one or more airbags (detonation)
may result in mild and temporary loss of
hearing.

Safety

105
Curtain airbags
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that
c ontributes towards greater protection for the
driver and passengers (with the exception of
the central seats) in the event of a
serious side
impact, in order to limit the risk of injury to the
side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed on one side in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all
or part of the side impact zone, 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 outer
rear passenger and the windows.
The airbags may no longer be deployed in the
event of a
serious impact.
In the event of a
minor impact or bump on
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls
over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a
rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags is deployed.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a
normal and upright sitting
position.
Wear a
correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything
close to or in the way of the airbag release
trajectory; 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, have the airbag systems
checked.
All work on the airbag systems must be
carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out.
The airbag 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 fix or attach anything to the
steering wheel or dashboard, as this
could cause injuries when the airbags are
deployed.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they
play a


part in securing the curtain airbags.
5
Safety

106
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the
lateral airbags. For information on the
product range of seat covers suitable for
your vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backrests (clothes, etc.), as this could
cause injuries to the thorax or arm when
the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include
side impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior
trim could compromise the operation of
these sensors – risk of malfunction of the
lateral airbags!
Such work must only be done by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.General points relating to

Advice
The incorrect installation of a child seat in
a vehicle compromises the protection of
the child in the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat
belt buckle under the child seat, as this
could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harness keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a
minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a


child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it
secures the child seat firmly on the seat
of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forwards if necessary.
The head restraint must be removed
before installing a
child seat with
a
backrest on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint
when the child seat is removed. Children at the rear
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat
and:
-

a "
rear ward facing" child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
"forward facing".
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into
the upright position.
For optimal installation of the forward
facing child seat, verify that its backrest is
as close as possible to the backrest of the
vehicle seat, if possible in contact with it.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
the country in which you are driving.
Deactivate the front passenger airbag
when a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat.
Other wise, there is a
risk of serious or
fatal injury to the child if the airbag is
deployed. Installing a


booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
We recommend using a
booster seat with
a
backrest, equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear
windows.
As a
safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and
unattended in a
vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with the
windows closed,
-

t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.

The system is not intended for the
following situations:
-
i
f the front end of the vehicle has
been modified (addition of long-range
headlamps, painting of the front
bumper),
-

d
riving on a racing circuit,
-

r
unning on a rolling road,
-

u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever place one mat on top of another.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-

d
riving on a winding road,
-

p
oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense
f o g , e t c .),
-

d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on a
damp
road, leaving a
tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-

c
amera obstructed (mud, frost, snow,
condensation, etc.).
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.Malfunction
If the cruise control
malfunctions, dashes are
displayed instead of the
cruise control speed setting.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an
alert message and an
audible signal, this confirms
a


malfunction.
The adaptive cruise control deactivates
automatically if the use of a "space-saver"
type spare wheel is detected or if there is
a

malfunction on the lateral brake lamps or
trailer brake lamps (for approved trailers).
The cruise control operates by day and
night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that
you always adapt the speed and the safety
distance in relation to the vehicles ahead,
according to the driving conditions, the
weather and the road surface.
Use the cruise control only where
the driving conditions allow running
at a

constant speed and keeping an
adequate safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas where pedestrians are likely to
cross the road, in heavy traffic (except for
versions with EAT8

gearbox), on winding
or steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, when there is snowfall, if the
windscreen is damaged or when the brake
lamps have failed.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even attained: loaded
vehicle, ascending a

steep hill, etc. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a

qualified workshop.
Memorising speeds
Linked to the speed limiter and programmable
cruise control only, this function allows speed
limits to be registered which will then be
suggested as settings for these two systems.
