SAFETY

AIRBAGS

Front airbags

Impact detection zones

   System designed to maximise the safety
of the occupants (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger) in the event
of violent collisions. It supplements the
action of the force-limiting seat belts.
If  a  collision  occurs,  the  electronic  de-
tectors record and analyse the front and
side  impacts  sustained  in  the  impact
detection zones:
   -

in the case of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantly and
protect the occupants of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the

impact, the airbags deﬂ ate rapidly

so that they do not hinder visibility
or the exit of the occupants,

in the case of a minor or rear impact
or in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the

seat belt alone is sufﬁ cient to pro-

vide optimum protection in these
situations.

  The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.
This  equipment  will  only  operate
once. If a second impact occurs (dur-
ing the same or a subsequent acci-
dent), the airbag will not operate.

A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

System  which  protects  the  driver  and
front  passenger  in  the  event  of  a  seri-
ous front impact to limit the risk of injury
to the head and chest.
The  airbags  are  ﬁ tted  in  the  centre  of

the steering wheel for the driver and in
the dashboard for the front passenger.

  Deployment
They  are  deployed  simultaneously  in
the  event  of  a  serious  front  impact  ap-
plied  to  all  or  part  of  the  front  impact
zone   A  in the  longitudinal  centreline of
the vehicle on a horizontal plane direct-
ed from the front towards the rear of the
vehicle.
The  front  airbag  inﬂ ates  between  the

front  occupant  of  the  vehicle  and  the
dashboard  to  cushion  their  forward
movement.

Deployment of the airbag(s) is ac-
companied  by  a  slight  emission
of  harmless  smoke  and  a  noise,
due to the activation of the pyro-
technic  cartridge  incorporated  in
the system.
This  smoke  is  not  harmful,  but
sensitive  individuals  may  experi-
ence slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result  in  a  slight  loss  of  hearing
for a short time.

Operating fault

Lateral airbags

  Deployment
The  lateral  airbags  are  deployed  uni-
laterally  in  the  event  of  a  serious  side
impact  applied  to  all  or  part  of  the  lat-
eral  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 ve-
hicle.
The lateral airbag inﬂ ates between the

occupant of the vehicle and the corre-
sponding door trim panel.

Deactivating the front
passenger's front airbag

To  ensure  the  safety  of  your  child,  it  is
essential to deactivate the passenger's
airbag  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 to inﬂ ate.
 With the ignition switched off , insert

the key into the passenger's airbag de-
activation switch, turn it to the "OFF"
position, then remove the key keeping
the switch in the new position.

  Reactivation
As  soon  as  the  child  seat  is  removed,
turn  the  airbag  switch  to  the   "ON"   po-
sition  to  reactivate  the  airbag  and  thus
ensure its safety function.

System which protects the driver in the
event of a serious side impact in order
to limit the risk of injury to the chest.
The lateral airbag is ﬁ tted in the seat

back frame, on the door side.

When the ignition is on, this

warning lamp remains lit on the

instrument panel if the passen-

ger's airbag is deactivated.

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied  by  an  audible
signal  and  a  message  in  the
multifunction  screen,  contact  a

PEUGEOT dealer to have the airbag
system checked.

In the "OFF" position, the passenger's
airbag will not be triggered in the event
of an impact.

SAFETY

           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  place  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 system checked.
All work on the airbag system is strict-
ly forbidden unless it is carried out by

qualiﬁ ed personnel of the PEUGEOT

network.
Even  if  all  of  the  precautions  men-
tioned  are  observed,  a  risk  of  injury
or  of  minor  burns  to  the  head,  chest
or  arms  when  an  air  bag  is  triggered
cannot  be  ruled  out.  In  fact,  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.
Smoke as little as possible 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
Only put approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder the deployment of
the lateral airbags. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not ﬁ x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the

chest or arms when the lateral airbag inﬂ ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS

Although  one  of  PEUGEOT's  main  cri-
teria  when  designing  your  vehicle,  the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
For  maximum  safety,  please  observe
the following recommendations:
   -

in  accordance  with  European  reg-
ulations,   all  children  under  the
age  of  12  or  less  than  one  and  a
half metres tall must travel in ap-
proved child seats suited to their
weight

, on seats ﬁ tted with a seat

belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,

statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for carrying children
are the rear seats,

a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-fac-
ing" position both in the front and
in the rear.

PEUGEOT

recommends

that

children  should  travel  in  the   rear
seats  of your vehicle:
   -

"rearwards-facing" up to the
age of 2,

"forwards-facing" over the
age of 2.

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT

  "Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the  front passenger seat ,
it is essential that the passenger airbag
is  deactivated.  Otherwise,   the  child
would risk being seriously injured or

killed if the airbag were to inﬂ ate .

  "Forwards-facing"
When  a  "forwards-facing"  child  seat  is
installed on the  front passenger seat ,
adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-
diate longitudinal position with the seat
back  upright  and  leave  the  passenger
airbag activated.

SAFETY

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS

* According to version.

These are two rings located between
the seat back and the seat cushion.

The ISOFIX child seats

are ﬁ tted with

two latches which are secured easily on
these rings.
This ISOFIX mounting system guaran-

tees reliable, safe and fast ﬁ tting of the

child seat in your vehicle.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the protection
of the child in the event of a collision.

These seats * are ﬁ tted with ISOFIX

mountings.

ISOFIX CHILD SEATS RECOMMENDED BY PEUGEOT AND APPROVED FOR YOUR VEHICLE

ISOFIX KIDDY

ISOFIX RÖMER Duo

Group 0+: from birth to 13 kg

Group 1: from 9 to 18 kg

Installed in the rear facing position.

Installed in the forwards facing position.

Installed in the forwards facing position only.

  The  body  of  the  child  seat  must  be  in
contact  with  the  back  of  the  vehicle's
front seat.

It is essential that the vehicle's front
seat is adjusted to the intermediate lon-
gitudinal position.

  Secured without the top strap.
Three  child  seat  body  angles:  sitting,
reclining and lying positions.
Adjust  the  vehicle's  front  seat  so  that
the  child's  feet  do  not  touch  the  seat
back.

These child seats can also be used on

seats which are not ﬁ tted with ISOFIX

mountings.

In this case, it is essential that they are
secured to the vehicle's seat by means
of the three point seat belt.

Follow the instructions for ﬁ tting

the child seat indicated in the seat
manufacturer's installation guide.

SAFETY

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 con-
tact  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  re-
moved,  ensure  that  it  is  stored  or
attached securely to prevent it from
being thrown around the vehicle in
the event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must
not  travel  in  the  "forward  facing"
position  on  the  front  passenger
seat, unless the rear seats are al-
ready  occupied  by  other  children,
cannot be used or are absent.

  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.
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.

To prevent accidental opening 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.

CHILD LOCK

On each rear door, this prevents open-
ing of the door from the inside.
Turn control  1  an eighth turn (45 degrees)
towards the inside of the vehicle using the
ignition key.
Check  that  the  safety  lock  is  engaged
correctly. The control  1  should no longer
be in the vertical position.

When  parking  on  a  slope,  direct
your wheels against the pavement,
apply  the  parking  brake  and  en-
gage a gear.

PARKING BRAKE

Applying
 Pull the parking brake lever fully up

to immobilise your vehicle.

When the vehicle is being driv-
en, if this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
accompanied by an audible sig-

nal and a message on the multifunction
screen, this indicates that the parking
brake is still on or has not been properly
released.

Releasing
 Pull the parking brake lever gently,

press the release button then lower
the lever fully.

CRUISE CONTROL

System  which  automatically  maintains
the  speed  of  the  vehicle  at  the  value
programmed  by  the  driver,  without  any
action on the accelerator pedal.
The  cruise  control  is   switched  on
manually: it requires a minimum vehicle
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) and the en-
gaging of fourth gear.
The cruise control is  switched off  man-
ually  or  by  pressing  the  brake  or  clutch
pedal or on triggering of the ESP system
for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed
speed  temporarily  by  pressing  the  ac-
celerator pedal.
To  return  to  the  programmed  speed,
simply release the accelerator pedal.
Switching  off  the  ignition  cancels  any
programmed speed value.

in steps of + or - 5 mph (km/h) = maintained press.

Operating fault

In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the speed is cleared resulting in

ﬂ ashing of the dashes.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

When the cruise control is switched
on,  be  careful  if  you  maintain  the
pressure on one of the programmed
speed  changing  buttons:  this  may
result in a very rapid change in the
speed of your vehicle.
Do  not  use  the  cruise  control  on

slippery roads or in heavy trafﬁ c.
On  a  steep  descent,  the  cruise
control  will  not  be  able  to  prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
   -

ensure that the mat is posi-
tioned correctly,

never ﬁ t one mat on top of another.

SPEED LIMITER

System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding  the  speed  programmed  by
the driver.
When  the  programmed  speed  limit  is
reached, pressing the accelerator pedal
no longer has any effect.
The speed limiter is  switched on  man-
ually:  it  requires  a  programmed  speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The  speed  limiter  is   switched  off   by
manual operation of the control.
The

programmed

speed

can

exceeded temporarily by pressing the

accelerator ﬁ rmly.
To  return  to  the  programmed  speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed.
