PEUGEOT 306 2002 Owner's Manual page 94

WARNING
For the front and side airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:
• Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
• Sit in a normal upright position.
• Do not leave an accessory, or any other object between the occupants of the front seats and the airbags. It could
hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants.
• All work on the airbag system is strictly forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified personnel of the PEUGEOT
network.
• After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems checked.
• The airbag systems have been designed to be fully operational for 10 years after the vehicle has been registered.
Have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer at this time.
• Front airbags*
• Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.
• Smoke as little as possible; deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
• Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
• Side air bags*
• Fit only approved covers to the front seats
• Do not fix or glue anything to the front seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest or arms when the side airbag
inflates.
• Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
DRIVING YOUR 306
