SAFETY
Lateral 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 chest.
Each lateral airbag is incorporated:
- in the front, in the seat back frame,
on the door side,
- in the rear, in the side trim (except
on 3-door and SW models).
Activation
The lateral airbags are triggered unilater-
ally 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 to-
wards the inside of the vehicle.
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 pil-
lars and the upper passenger compart-
ment area.
Operating fault
Activation
The curtain airbag is triggered 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 cen-
treline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane
and directed from the outside towards the
inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag infl ates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle and
the windows.
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 triggered.
In the event of a rear or front colli-
sion, the airbag is not triggered.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
If this warning lamp comes on
on the instrument panel, accom-
panied by an audible signal and
a message on the multifunction
screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked. The airbags
may no longer be triggered in the event
of a serious impact.
The lateral airbag infl ates between the
front or rear occupant of the vehicle and
the corresponding door trim panel.
