Peugeot 206 1998-2009 Owner's Manual Safety Air Bags

83SAFETY-AIR BAGSThe air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupants in the event of serious collisions. They work in conjunction with the force-lim-iting seat belts. The electronic detec-tors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration of the vehicle in the im-pact detection zones (see diagram): if the triggering threshold is reached, the air bags inlate instantly and pro-tect the occupants of the vehicle.Immediately after the impact, the air bags delate rapidly so that they do not hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their exit if necessary from the vehicle.The air bags are not deployed in the case of minor impacts, rear impacts or in certain roll-over conditions. The seat belt is suficient to ensure maxi-mum protection in these situations. The seriousness of a collision de-pends on the nature of the obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the moment of the collision.Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on.Note: the gas escaping from the air bags can be a minor irritant.Impact detection zonesA. Front impact zone.B. Side impact zone.If this warning light comes on, accompanied by an au-dible signal and a message on the multifunction display, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked. The air bags may no longer be triggered in the event of a serious impactFront air bag malfunctionFRONT AIR BAGSThese are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in the fascia for the front passenger. They are deployed simultaneously, except in cases where the passen-ger air bag is disarmed, in the event of a serious front impact applied in the impact zone A in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle, on a hori-zontal plane and from the front of the vehicle towards the rear. The air bag inlates between the front occupant of the vehicle and the fascia to cushion his forward movement. The air bags therefore limit the risk of injury to the head and chest.
SAFETY84-SIDE AIR BAGS AND CURTAIN AIR BAGSThe side air bags are incorporated into the front seat backs on the door side.The triggering of these air bags re-quires a serious side impact applied in the side impact zone B, perpen-dicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane and from the outside of the vehicle towards the inside. The side air bag inlates between the front occupant of the vehicle and the door trim pad. It therefore limits the risk of injury to the chest.The rear side air bags afford the rear passengers the same protection which the front side air bags offer the front passengers. If the passenger air bag is disarmed, the warning light on the instrument panel re-mains on until the passenger air bag is reactivated.If this warning light comes on, accompanied by an au-dible signal and a message on the multifunction display, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked. The air bags may no longer be triggered in the event of a serious impact.Disarming (check)The curtain air bags are incorporated in the headlining.The curtain air bag inlates between the front or rear occupant and the windows. It therefore limits the risk of head injuries. In the event of a minor impact or bump on the side of the ve-hicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the air bag may not be triggered. The air bag is not triggered in the event of a front or rear collision.Disarming the passenger air bagTo ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the pas-senger air bag when you install a "rear-facing" child seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being seri-ously injured or killed if the air bag were to inlate.FWith the ignition switched off,insert the key into the passenger air bag disarming switch 1, turn it to the "OFF" position, then remove the key keeping the switch in this position.In the "OFF" position, the passen-ger air bag will not be triggered in the event of an impact.As soon as the child seat is removed, turn the air bag switch to the "ON"position to re-activate the air bag and thus ensure the safety of your pas-senger in the event of an impact.Air bags malfunction
85SAFETY-For the front, side and curtain air bags to be ful-ly effective, observe the following safety rules: Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.Sit in a normal upright position.Do not leave anything between the occupants and the air bags (child, animal, object...). This could ham-per the operation of the air bags or injure the occupants.All work on the air bag systems is strictly prohibited unless it is carried out by qualiied personnel of the PEUGEOT network.After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the air bag systems checked.Front air bagsDo 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 fascia.Smoke as little as possible; deploy-ment of the air bags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.Curtain air bagsDo not ix or glue anything to the pillars or the roof. This could cause injury to the head when the curtain air bag inlates.The triggering of an air bag or air bags is accompanied by a slight emission of harmless 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 some irritation.The detonation noise may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.Even if all of the precautions men-tioned are observed, injury or slight burns to the head, chest or arms when the air bag is triggered cannot be ruled out. Indeed, the bag inlates almost instantly (approximately 30 milliseconds) then delates within the same time discharging hot gas via the openings provided for this purpose.This equipment will only operate once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the air bag will not in-late.Side air bagsOnly put approved covers on the seats, these will not hamper the in-lation of the side air bags. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.Do not ix or glue anything to the front seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest or arms when the side air bag inlates.Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
