GENERAL POINTS ON SEAT

BELTS

CHILD SEAT AT THE FRONT

"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat

is installed on the front passenger

seat , adjust the vehicle's seat to the

intermediate longitudinal position

with the seat back upright and leave

the passenger's airbag activated.

Intermediate longitudinal

position

"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat

is installed on the

front passen-

ger seat , you must deactivate the

passenger's airbag * . Otherwise, the

child would risk being seriously

injured or killed if the airbag were

to infl ate .

* The rules for carrying children are

specifi c to each country. Refer to the

current legislation in your country.

The procedures for the use of child

seats and deactivation of the pas-

senger's airbag are common to the

entire PEUGEOT range.
In the absence of passenger airbag

deactivation, it is strictly forbidden to

install a child seat in the "forwards

facing" position on the front passen-

ger seat.

Although one of PEUGEOT's main

criteria when designing your vehicle,

the safety of your children also de-

pends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow

these precautions:
-

all children under the age of 12

or less than one metre fi fty tall

must travel in approved child

seats suited to their weight ,

on seats fi tted with a seat belt or

ISOFIX mountings * .

-

a child weighing less than 9 kg

must travel in the "rearwards-

facing" position in the front.

SEATS

38 -

Passenger airbag OFF

Refer to the advice given on the label

present on both sides of the passen-

ger's sun visor.

To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's

front airbag when you install a child seat in the rearwards facing position

on the front passenger's seat.
Otherwise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed

if the airbag were deployed.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS

These are two rings located between

the vehicle’s seat back and the seat

cushion.
This ISOFIX mounting system pro-

vides reliable, safe and fast fi tting of

the child seat in your vehicle.

The

ISOFIX child seats are fi tted

with two latches which are secured

easily on these rings.

Your vehicle has been approved in ac-

cordance with the ISOFIX regulation .
The seats, represented below, are fi t-

ted with regulation ISOFIX mountings:

ISOFIX CHILD SEAT RECOMMENDED BY PEUGEOT AND APPROVED FOR YOUR VEHICLE

" ISOFIX KIDDY "

Group 0+: from birth to 13 kg

Group 1: from 9 to 18 kg

Installed in the rear facing position,

on the outer rear seat only.

Installed in the forwards facing position.

The body of this child seat must be in contact with the back

of the vehicle's front seat.

It is imperative that the vehicle's front seat is adjusted to the

intermediate longitudinal position.

This child seat can also be used on

seats which are not fi tted with ISOFIX

mountings.

In this case, it is compulsory to se-

cure the child seat to the vehicle's

seat using the three-point seat belt.

Follow the instructions for fi tting

the child seat indicated in the seat

manufacturer's installation guide.

ADVICE ON CHILD

SEATS

Children under the age of 10 must

not travel in the "forward facing" po-

sition on the front passenger seat,

unless the rear seats are already oc-

cupied by other children, cannot be

used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag

when a "rear facing" child seat is in-

stalled on the front seat. Otherwise,

the child would risk being seriously

injured or killed if the airbag were to

infl ate.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and

unsupervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle

which is exposed to the sun, with

the windows closed,

- the keys within reach of children

inside the vehicle.

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.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of

a booster seat which has a back, fi tted

with a seat belt guide at shoulder

level.

To prevent accidental open-

ing of the doors, use the

"Child lock".

Take care not to open the rear win-

dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the

rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the

rear windows.

The incorrect installation of a child

seat in a vehicle compromises the

child's protection in the event of an

accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts

or the child seat harnesses

keep-

ing the slack in relation to the child's

body to a minimum , even for short

journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-

ward facing" child seat, ensure that

the back of the child seat is in contact

with the back of the vehicle's seat

and that the head restraint does not

cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,

ensure that it is stored or attached se-

curely to prevent it from being thrown

around the vehicle in the event of

sharp braking.

SEAT BELTS

Locking the seat belts
Pull the strap, then insert the end into

the buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened

correctly by pulling the strap.

Unfastening the seat belts
Press the button on the buckle.

Front seat belts with pre-

tensioner
Safety in the event of frontal impacts

has been improved by the introduc-

tion of pre-tensioning seat belts for

the front seats.
Depending on the seriousness of the

impact, the pre-tensioning system

instantly tightens the seat belts and

pulls them against the bodies of the

occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are

armed when the ignition is on.

Seat belt height adjustment
To lower or raise: slide the control

downwards or upwards.

Rear seat belts (4 seat

version)

The rear seats are fi tted with two

three-point inertia reel seat belts.

Rear seat belts (5 seat

version)

The rear seats are fi tted with three

three-point inertia reel seat belts

(two-part rear seat, 1/3 - 2/3).

45

SEATS -

The driver must ensure that

the passengers use the seat

belts correctly and that they

are all properly restrained

before setting off.

Wherever you are seated in the ve-

hicle, always fasten your seat belt,

even for short journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as

they will not fulfi l 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 fi tted with an inertia

reel permitting automatic adjustment

of the length of the strap to your size.

The seat belt is stored 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 auto-

matic locking device which comes into

operation in the event of a collision, on

emergency braking or if the vehicle

rolls over. You can release the device

by pulling rapidly on the strap and re-

leasing it.

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 modifi ed

to avoid altering its performance.

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.

* According to model.

Recommendations for children:
-

use a suitable child seat if the pas-

senger is less than 12 years old or

shorter than one metre fi fty,

-

do not use the strap-guide * when

a child seat is installed,

- never use the same seat belt to

secure 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

airbags. Triggering of the pre-tensioners

is accompanied by a slight emission of

harmless smoke and a noise, due to

the activation of the pyrotechnic car-

tridge incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp

comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat

belts system checked, and if neces-

sary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer.

After folding or moving a

seat or rear bench seat,

ensure that the seat belt

is positioned and rolled up

correctly.
