deactivated:
)

with the ignition off, insert the key in the

f

passenger airbag deactivation switch,

)

turn it to the "OFF" position,

)

then, remove the key keeping the switch in
the new position.

According to version, this warning
lamp comes on either in the
instrument panel or in the seat belt

and passenger's front airbag warning lamp
display when the ignition is on and until the
airbag is reactivated.

To assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a "rear
facing" child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.

If even one of the two airbag warning
lamps comes on continuously, do
not install a child seat on the front
passenger seat.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or qualified workshop.

Reactivation

When you remove the child seat, with the
ignition off , turn the switch to the

f

"ON"

position to reactivate the airbag and so assure
the safety of your front passenger in the event
of an impact.

With the ignition on, this warning
lamp comes on in the seat belt and
passenger's front airbag warning lamp
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
instrument panel screen, 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.

If this warning lamp flashes, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. The passenger's front
airbag may no longer be deployed in
the event of a serious impact.

Safety

Lateral airbags

Deployment

The lateral airbags are 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 (with the exception of the rear
centre passenger) 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.

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
deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
the curtain airbag is not deployed.

Deployment

The 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, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
instrument panel screen, 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.

Operating fault

Safety

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
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. 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.

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.
Refer to the "Accessories" section.
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.

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.

For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:

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.
