SAFETY
60
For the front, side* and
curtain* air bags to be
fully effective, observe the
following safety rules:
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.
Front 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.
Curtain air bags*
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
