Front Airbags - PEUGEOT Expert VU 2009 Manual

Air bags
Front air bags
The front air bags are incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel for the driver
and in the fascia for the front passenger.
Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, unless
the passenger's front air bag has been
disarmed, in the event of a serious front
impact applied to all or part of the front
impact zone A in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane directed
from the front towards the rear of the
vehicle.
The front air bag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to
cushion his forward movement.
Disarming
The passenger's front air bag alone can be
disarmed:
- With the ignition switched off , insert
the key into the passenger air bag
disarming switch,
- turn it to the "OFF" position,
- then remove the key keeping the slot in
this position.
The air bag warning light on the
instrument panel is lit throughout
the period of disarming.
To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
air bag when you install a rear-facing child
seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise,
the child would risk being killed or seriously
injured if the air bag were to inflate.
Reactivation
In the "OFF" position, the passenger air
bag will not be triggered in the event of an
impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the air bag slot to the "ON" position to
re-activate the air bag and thus ensure the
safety of your passenger in the event of an
impact.
Front air bag fault
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer to
have the system checked.
If the two air bag warning lights are
lit continuously, do not install a
rear-facing child seat. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
