SEAT BELTS
The rear seats are equipped with two
three-point inertia reel seat belts.
You can store the seat belt buckles in
Fastening/Unfastening the seat
belts
Pull the strap, then insert the buckle
into the stalk.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
To unfasten the seat belts, press the
button on the stalk.
Safety in the event of front impacts
has been improved by means of the
introduction of pretensioning seat
belts with force limiter for the front
seats. Depending on the force of the
impact, the pretensioning system
instantly tightens the seat belts and
pulls them against the body of the oc-
cupants.

Wherever you are seated in
the vehicle, always fasten
your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
In order to be effective, a seat belt:
- must be tightened as close to the
body as possible,
- must restrain one adult only,
- must not bear any trace of cuts or
fraying,
- must be pulled in front of you with a
smooth movement, checking that it
does not twist,
- must not be transformed or modi-
fied to avoid altering its perform-
ance.
In accordance with current safety
regulations, all repairs and checks
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer who guarantees that the work
is carried out correctly.
Have your seat belts checked regu-
larly by a PEUGEOT dealer and par-
ticularly 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 rolled up correctly.
Recommendations for children:
- use a suitable child seat if the pas-
senger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one metre fifty,
- do not use the strap-guide* when a
child seat is installed.
Do not invert the seat belt
buckles as they will not fulfil their role
fully.
If the seats have armrests*, the lap
part of the seat belt must always
pass under the armrest.
The seat belts are fitted with an in-
ertia reel permitting automatic adjust-
ment of the length of the strap to your
size. The seat belt is stored automat-
ically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the
seat belt is rolled up 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 au-
tomatic locking device which comes
into operation in the event of a colli-
sion, on emergency braking or if the
vehicle rolls over. You can release
the device by pulling rapidly on the
strap and releasing it.
- never use the same seat belt to se-
cure more than one person,
- never allow a child to travel on your
lap.
Depending on the nature and se-
riousness of the impacts, the pre-
tensioning device may be triggered
before and independently of the air
bags. Triggering of the pre-tension-
ers is accompanied by a slight emis-
sion of harmless smoke and a noise,
due to the activation of the pyrotech-
nic cartridge incorporated in the sys-
tem.
In all cases, the air bag warning light
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked, and if neces-
sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT deal-
er.
* According to model.

SAFETY

Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of minor impacts, rear impacts
or in certain roll-over conditions. The
seat belt is sufficient to ensure maxi-
mum protection in these situations.
The seriousness of a collision de-
pends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of the collision.
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
work in conjunction with the force-
limiting seat belts. The electronic
detectors register and analyse any
abrupt deceleration of the vehicle in
the impact detection zones (see dia-
gram): if the triggering threshold is
reached, the air bags inflate instantly
and protect the occupants of the ve-
hicle.
Air bags only operate when the ig-
nition is switched on.
FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger. They
are deployed simultaneously, except
in cases where the passenger air bag
is disarmed, in the event of a serious
front impact applied in the impact zone
A in the longitudinal centreline of the
vehicle, on a horizontal plane and from
the front of the vehicle towards the rear.
The air bag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia
to cushion his forward movement. The
air bags therefore limit the risk of injury
to the head and chest.

Flashing indicates an air

pact.
Note: the gas escaping from
the air bags can be a minor
irritant.

The side air bags are incorporated

side.
Air bags malfunction
Disarming the passenger
air bag
Flashing indicates a mal-
function of at least one of
these air bags.
The triggering of these air bags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone B, perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane
and from the outside of the vehicle
towards the inside. The side air bag
inflates between the front occupant
of the vehicle and the door trim pad.
It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.
The rear side air bags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
which the front side air bags offer the
front passengers.
The curtain air bags are incorporated
in the headlining.
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to disarm the pas-
senger air bag when you install
a "rear-facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag
were to inflate.
With the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch 1, turn
it to the "OFF" position, then re-
move the key keeping the switch
in this position.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the
event of a serious impact.
In the "OFF" position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag switch to the "ON"
position to re-activate the air bag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact.

For the front, side* and
curtain* air bags to be
fully effective, observe the
following safety rules:
Front air bags
Curtain air bags*
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 fascia.
Smoke as little as possible; deploy-
ment of the air bags 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 glue anything to the pil-
lars or the roof. This could cause in-
jury to the head when the curtain air
bag inflates.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the air bags (child,
animal, object...). This could hamper
the operation of the air bags or injure
the occupants.
All work on the air bag systems is
strictly prohibited unless it is car-
ried out by qualified personnel of the
PEUGEOT network.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the
air bag systems checked.
The triggering of an air bag or air
bags is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and
a noise due to the activation of the
pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in
the system. This smoke is not harm-
ful but sensitive individuals may ex-
perience some irritation.
The detonation noise may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short
time.
Even if all of the precautions men-
tioned are observed, injury or slight
burns to the head, chest or arms
when the air bag is triggered can-
not be ruled out. Indeed, the bag in-
flates almost instantly (approximately
30 milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging hot gas
via the openings provided for this
purpose.
Side air bags*
Only put approved covers on the
seats, these will not hamper the in-
flation of the side air bags. Contact
your PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fix or glue anything to the front
seat backs. This could cause injury
to the chest or arms when the side
air bag inflates.
This equipment will only operate
once. If a second impact occurs (dur-
ing the same or a subsequent acci-
dent), the air bag will not inflate.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
