SAFETY

Disarming the passenger
air bag
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.
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.
If the passenger air bag is
disarmed, the warning light
on the instrument panel re-
mains on until the passen-
ger air bag is reactivated.
The curtain air bag inflates between
the front or rear occupant and the
windows. It therefore limits the risk of
head injuries. In the event of a minor
impact or bump on the side of the ve-
hicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the
air bag may not be triggered. The air
bag is not triggered in the event of a
front or rear collision.
Flashing indicates a mal-
function of at least one of
these air bags.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. The air bags
may no longer be triggered in the
event of a serious impact.

SIDE AIR BAGS* AND
CURTAIN AIR BAGS*
The side air bags are incorporated
into the front seat backs on the door
side.
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.
