Peugeot 208 2012-2019 Owner's Manual Safety Airbags

Safety96208_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2015AirbagsGeneral informationThe airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.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.Impact detection zonesA.Front impact zone.B.Side impact zone.Front airbagsDeploymentThe airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it has been 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.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.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.
5Safety97208_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2015DeactivationWhen the ignition is on, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel while the airbag is deactivated.To assure your child's safety, you must deactivate the passenger's front airbag when you install a rearward facing child seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child risks being seriously injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.ReactivationWhen you remove the rearward facing child seat, with the ignition on, 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.Operating faultIf this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, you must contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated.FWith the ignition off, insert the key into the passenger airbag deactivation switch.FTurn it to the "OFF" position,FRemove the key keeping the switch in the new position.
Safety98208_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2015Lateral airbagsDeploymentA lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally 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 lateral airbag inflates between the hip and shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.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 hip and the shoulder.Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest frame, door side.Impact detection zonesA.Front impact zone.B.Side impact zone.Curtain airbagsSystem which contributes towards improving the protection of 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.In the event of a minor impact or bump on the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be deployed.In the event of a rear or front collision, the airbag is not deployed.DeploymentThe 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.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.Operating fault
5Safety99208_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2015Sit in a normal upright position.Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.Do not allow anything to come between the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object...), do not attach or fix anything near to the airbags or their trajectories when inflating as this could cause injuries when the airbags are deployed.Never modify the original definition of your 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. 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.Lateral airbagsUse only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact a PEUGEOTdealer.For more information on accessories, refer to the corresponding section.Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.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 fit or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries with deployment of the airbags.AdviceCurtain airbagsDo not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the curtain airbag is deployed.If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part in securing the curtain airbags.
