SAFETY
Deactivating the passenger
airbag
To ensure the safety of your child,
it is essential to
deactivate
the
passenger
airbag
when you install
a "rear-facing" child seat on the
front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-
ously injured or killed if the air bag
were to infl ate.
With the ignition switched off,
insert the key into the passenger
airbag deactivation switch
1
,
turn it to the
"OFF"
position,
then remove the key keeping the
switch in this position.
In the
"OFF"
position, the passen-
ger air bag will not be triggered in the
event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the airbag switch to the
"ON"
position to re-activate the airbag and
thus ensure the safety of your pas-
senger in the event of an impact.
If the passenger airbag is de-
activated, the warning lamp
on the instrument panel re-
mains on until the passenger
airbag is reactivated.
The curtain airbag infl ates between
the front or rear occupant and the
windows. It therefore limits the risk of
head injuries. In the event of a minor
impact or bump on the side of the ve-
hicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the
airbag may not be triggered. The air-
bag is not triggered in the event of a
front or rear collision.
Flashing indicates a mal-
function of at least one of
these airbags.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
to have the system checked.
The air bags may no longer be trig-
gered in the event of a serious impact.

* According to version.
SIDE AIRBAGS * AND
CURTAIN AIRBAGS *
The side airbags are built into the
front seat backs on the door side.
The triggering of these airbags re-
quires a serious side impact applied
in the side impact zone
B
, perpen-
dicular to the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane
and from the outside of the vehicle
towards the inside. The side airbag
infl ates between the front occupant
of the vehicle and the door trim pad.
It therefore limits the risk of injury to
the chest.
The rear side airbags afford the rear
passengers the same protection
which the front side airbags offer the
front passengers.
The curtain airbags are built into the
headlining.
