Peugeot 2008 2019-2025 Owner's Manual Safety Airbags

78SafetyTo ensure the proper functioning of the belt buckles, make sure that there are no foreign bodies present (e.g.a coin) before fastening.Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.InstallationThe lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.At the front, adjusting the position of the seat belt may require the seat height to be adjusted.In order to be effective, a seat belt must:–be tightened as close to the body as possible.–be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it is not twisted.–must only be used to secure one person.–not show signs of tearing or fraying.–not be changed or modified, in order to avoid affecting its performance.Recommendations for childrenUse a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5 metres.Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one child.Never carry a child on your lap.For more information on Child seats, refer to the corresponding section.MaintenanceIn accordance with current safety regulations, for all work on your vehicle's seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a PEUGEOTdealer is able to provide.Have the seat belts checked regularly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by PEUGEOT dealers.AirbagsGeneral informationThis system is designed to improve the safety of the occupants of the front seats and the rear outer seats in the event of a violent collision. The airbags supplement the action of the seat belts equipped with a force limiting system.Electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:–In the event of violent impact, the airbags deploy instantly and help better protect the occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the occupants.–In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect you in these situations.The seriousness of the impact depends on the nature of the obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the moment of collision.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.Impact detection zonesA.Front impact zoneB.Side impact zone
79Safety5When one or more airbags are deployed, the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in the system makes a noise and releases a small quantity of smoke.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience irritation.The detonation noise associated with the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.Front airbagsThis system protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious front impact, limiting the risk of head and chest injury.The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.*For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag, refer to the corresponding section.DeploymentThey are deployed, except for the front passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the event of a violent front impact applied to all or part of front impact zone A.The front airbag inflates between the chest and head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the dashboard, on the passenger's side, to cushion their forward movement.Lateral airbagsThis system protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious side impact, limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between the hip and the shoulder.Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest frame, on the door side.DeploymentThe lateral airbags are deployed on one side in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone B.The lateral airbag inflates between the chest of the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding door panel.Curtain airbagsThis system helps provide 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.DeploymentIt deploys simultaneously with the corresponding lateral airbag in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone B.The curtain airbag inflates between the front and rear occupants of the vehicle and the corresponding windows.MalfunctionIn the event of a malfunction, this warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.The airbags may not be deployed in the event of a serious impact.In the event of a minor impact or bump at 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 are deployed.
80SafetyAdviceFor the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below.Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.Do not place anything between the occupants and the airbags (e.g.child, animal, object), do not fix or attach anything near or in the path of the airbags, as this could cause injuries when they are deployed.Never modify the original definition of the vehicle, particularly in the area directly around the airbags.Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out when an airbag is deployed. The bag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same time, discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen, have the airbag systems checked.All work must be carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Front airbagsDo not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.Do not smoke as 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.Do not fix or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, as this could cause injuries when the airbags are deployed.Lateral airbagsUse only approved seat covers compatible with the deployment of these airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backrests (e.g.clothing) as this could cause injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is deployed.Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.At the rear, any objects placed on the outer seats or the folded backrest of the 1/3 bench seat could become projectiles when the lateral airbags are deployed.The vehicle's front door panels include side impact sensors.A damaged door or any unauthorised or incorrectly executed work (modification or repair) on the front doors or their interior trim could compromise the operation of these sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral airbags!All work must be carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Curtain airbagsDo not fix or attach anything to the roof, as this could cause head injuries when the curtain airbag is deployed.Do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, as these help to secure the curtain airbags.Child seatsThe regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in your country.For maximum safety, please observe the following recommendations:–In accordance with European regulations, all children under the age of 12 or less than 1.5 metres tall must travel in approved child seats suited to their size or 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.–Children ageing less than 15months must travel in the "rearward facing" position, whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
