Air bags
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants in the
event of a serious collision; they work in
conjunction with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse any
abrupt deceleration of the vehicle: if the
triggering threshold is reached, the air bags
inflate instantly and protect the occupants of
the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air bags
deflate rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their possible
exit from the vehicle.
The air bags will not be deployed in
collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to provide
maximum protection. The seriousness of
the collision depends on the nature of the
obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of impact.
Air bags only operate when the ignition is
switched on.
Front air bags
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger. They are
deployed simultaneously, unless the
passenger air bag has been disarmed.
Front air bag malfunction
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by a buzzer and a
message on the display, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system
checked.
The gas escaping from the inflated air
bags can be a minor irritant.
