Deactivating the front passenger airbag

To ensure your child's safety, you must deactivate the passenger airbag whenever you install a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat.

Otherwise, the child could be seriously injured or killed when the airbag deploys.

• With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passenger airbag deactivation switch, turn it to the "OFF" position, then remove it while holding it in that position.

With the ignition switched on, this warning light remains
on in the instrument panel for the entire duration of the deactivation.

In the "OFF" position, the passenger airbag will not deploy in the event of an impact.

Reactivation

As soon as you remove the child seat, turn the airbag switch to the "ON" position to reactivate the airbag and ensure its safety function.

Knee airbag

In the event of a violent frontal impact, it protects the driver's knees.

It is integrated into the dashboard below the steering column.

Activation

It deploys simultaneously with the front airbags.

Front/rear side airbags *

In the event of a severe side impact, they protect the driver and passengers (except the rear centre passenger) in order to reduce the risk of chest injury.

Each side airbag is built into the front seat backrest and into the rear door armrest *.

Activation

They deploy on one side only in the event of a severe side impact on all or part of side impact zone B, acting perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal axis in a horizontal plane and directed from outside to inside the vehicle.

The side airbag is positioned between the front or rear occupant and the corresponding door panel.

Impact detection zones

1. 1
   Frontal impact zone.
2. 2
   Side impact zone.

Curtain airbags

In the event of a severe side impact, they protect the driver and passengers (except the rear centre passenger) in order to reduce the risk of head injury.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and the upper part of the passenger compartment.

Activation

It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding side airbags in the event of a severe side impact on all or part of side impact zone B, acting perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal axis in a horizontal plane and directed from outside to inside the vehicle.

The curtain airbag is positioned between the front or rear occupant and the windows.

In a light impact or scrape on the side of the vehicle, or in a rollover, the airbag may not deploy.

In a rear or frontal collision, the airbag does not deploy.

In case of malfunction

Instrument cluster warning light.

If this warning light comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multifunction display, consult the PEUGEOT network to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer deploy in the event of a violent impact.

For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:

• Be seated with the seat belt properly positioned.
• Adopt a normal, upright seating position.
• Do not allow anything to come between the occupants and the airbags (child, animal, object, etc.). This could impair airbag operation or injure the occupants.
• After an accident, or if the vehicle has been stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
• Any work on the airbag systems is strictly prohibited except by qualified PEUGEOT Dealer Network personnel.
• Even when all the precautions mentioned are observed, there is a risk of injury or minor burns to the head, torso or arms when an airbag deploys. The bag inflates almost instantaneously (a few milliseconds), then deflates at the same time, releasing hot gases through the outlets provided for this purpose.

Front airbags

• Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or with your hands resting on the centre hub of the steering wheel.
• Do not place your feet on the dashboard, passenger side.
• Avoid smoking where possible, as airbag deployment may cause burns or risk of injury due to
• Never dismantle, drill or subject the steering wheel to violent blows.

Side airbags *

• Only cover the seats with approved seat covers. These will not interfere with side airbag deployment.

  Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

• Do not fix or stick anything to the seat backrests, as this could cause chest or arm injury when the side airbag deploys.
• Do not lean your upper body closer to the door than necessary.

Curtain airbags

• Do not fix or stick anything to the pillars or the roof, as this could cause head injury when the curtain airbag deploys.
• Do not remove the grab handles fitted to the roof, as they help secure the curtain airbags.

Knee airbag *

• Do not bring your knees closer to the steering wheel than necessary.
