Airbags

General information

System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger)
in the event of violent collisions. the airbags
supplement the action of the seat belts fitted
with force limiters (all except the centre rear
passenger belt).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

in the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute towards
better protection of the occupants of the
vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate rapidly so that they do not
hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants,

in the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt alone
contributes towards ensuring your protection
in these situations.

The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
this equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again.

Deployment of one or more of the
airbags is accompanied by a slight
emission of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
this smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
the noise of detonation associated with
the deployment of one or more airbags
may result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time.

A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.

Front airbags

Deployment

the airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated, in the
event of a serious front impact to all or part of the
front impact zone A, in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed
from the front to the rear of the vehicle.
the front airbag inflates between the thorax and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the
steering wheel, driver's side, and the dashboard,
passenger's side to cushion their forward
movement.

System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
thorax.
the driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

F With the ignition off, insert the key in the

passenger airbag deactivation switch.

F turn it to the "OFF" position.
F Remove the key keeping the switch in the

new position.

When the ignition is on, this warning
lamp comes in the seat belt warning
display screen. It stays on while the

airbag is deactivated.

to assure the safety of your child,
the passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a rearward
facing child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed.

Reactivating the passenger's
front airbag

When you remove the child seat, with the
ignition off, turn the switch to the "ON"
position to reactivate the airbag and so assure
the safety of your front passenger in the event
of an impact.

When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on in the
seat belt warning display screen for
approximately one minute to signal
that the front airbag is activated.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system
checked. the airbags may no longer
be deployed in the event of a serious
impact.

Deactivating the passenger's
front airbag

Only the passenger's front airbag can be
deactivated.

Safety

308_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2016

Lateral airbags

Deployment

the lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in
the event of a serious side impact applied to all
or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
the lateral airbag inflates between the
abdomen and head of the front occupant of the
vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.

If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system which
protects the driver and front passenger in the
event of a serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the chest, between the
abdomen and head.
each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.

System contributing towards greater protection
for the driver and passengers (with the
exception of the rear centre passenger) in the
event of a serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the side of the head.
each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.

Deployment

the curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the
event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone B, perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
the curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.

In the event of a minor impact or bump
on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the airbags may not
be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision,
none of the lateral airbags is deployed.

If this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, you must contact
a PeugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a PeugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop.
even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out.

Carrying children

Although one of PeugeOt's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of your
children also depends on you.

PEUGEOT recommends that children
should travel on the rear seats of your
vehicle:
-

rearward facing up to the age of 3,

forward facing over the age of 3.

General points

For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
-

in accordance with european regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to
their weight, on seats fitted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings*,

statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the
rear seats,

a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the rearward facing position
both in the front and in the rear.

* the regulations on carrying children are

specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
