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 except in
cases where the air bag is disarmed.
Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes on, accom-
panied by an audible signal and the
message "Air bag fault" on the multi-
function display, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer to have the system checked.
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. It
works in conjunction with the force-
limiting seat belts.
The electronic detectors register 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 occu-
pants and their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of collisions which are not
serious, for which the seat belt is suffi-
cient to ensure maximum protection.
The seriousness of a collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of the collision.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the
cushion can be a minor irritant.
Disarming the passenger* air bag
To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passen-
ger air bag when you install a rear-
facing child seat on the front pas-
senger seat.
☞ Remove the ignition key, insert it
into the passenger airbag switch 1
and turn it to the "OFF" position,
then remove it, maintaining this
position. The ''OFF'' warning light
switches on.
The air bag warning light on
the instrument panel is lit
throughout the disarming
process.
* According to specification.
