SAFETY
For the front, side and cur-
tain air bags to be fully
effective, observe the fol-
lowing 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 qualifi ed 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 fi x or glue anything to the pillars
or the roof. This could cause injury to
the head when the curtain air bag in-
fl ates.
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-
fl ates almost instantly (approximately
30 milliseconds) then defl ates 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 (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
air bag will not infl ate.
Side air bags
Only put approved covers on the
seats, these will not hamper the in-
fl ation of the side air bags. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not fi x or glue anything to the front
seat backs. This could cause injury
to the chest or arms when the side
air bag infl ates.
Do not sit with the upper part of the
body any nearer to the door than
necessary.
