Airbags

Front airbags

The front airbags are fitted in the centre of
the steering wheel for the driver and in the
dashboard for the front passenger.
Deployment
They are deployed, except the passenger's
front airbag if it has been deactivated, 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 airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard
to cushion their forward movement.
Deactivation
The passenger's front airbag alone can be
deactivated:
- with the ignition switched off , insert
the key into the passenger's airbag
deactivation switch,
turn it to the "OFF" position,
-
- then remove the key keeping the switch
in the new position.
The airbag warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on while the
airbag is deactivated.
To ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to deactivate the passengers
airbag 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 airbag were to inflate.
Reactivation
In the "OFF" position, the passenger's airbag
will not be deployed in the event of an impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, turn
the airbag switch to the "ON" position to
reactivate the airbag and thus ensure the
safety of your passenger in the event of an
impact.
Front airbag fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
If the two airbag warning lamps are on
continuously, do not install a "rearward
facing" child seat. Contact a PEUGEOT or a
qualified workshop.
