Peugeot 407 2004-2011 Owner's Manual Safety Airbags

7SAFETY AIRBAGS The airbags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occupants (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of violent col-lisions. They supplement the action of the force-limiting seat belts. In this case, the electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts suffered in the impact detec-tion zones: - in the event of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed instanta-neously and protect the occupants of the vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre passenger); im-mediately after the impact, the air-bags defl ate rapidly so that they do not hinder the visibility of the oc-cupants or their possible exit from the vehicle, - in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in certain roll-over conditions, the airbags will not be deployed; the seat belt alone is suffi cient to provide maximum pro-tection in these situations. Front airbags The front airbags protect the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious front impact in order to limit the risks of injury to the head and chest. They are fi tted in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger. Impact detection zones A. Front impact zone. B. Side impact zone. The deployment of one or more airbags is accompanied by a slight discharge of harm-less smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system. This smoke is not harmful, but sensi-tive individuals may experience some irritation. The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time. Activation They are deployed simultaneously, ex-cept in cases where the passenger's front airbag is 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 vehi-cle on a horizontal plane directed from the front to the rear of the vehicle. The front airbag infl ates between the front occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to cushion their forward movement. The airbags do not operate when the ignition is off. This equipment only operates once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not operate.
7SAFETY91 Disarming the front passenger's front air bag * Reactivation As soon as the child seat is removed, turn the air bag slot to the "ON" position to re-activate the air bag and thus ensure its safety function. To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the passenger air bag when you install a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the air bag were to infl ate.With the ignition switched off,insert the key into the passenger air bag disarming switch, turn it to the "OFF" position, then remove the key keeping the slot in this position. The knee airbag protects the driver's knees in the event of a serious front impact. It is fi tted in the dashboard below the steering column. In the event of a malfunction * According to country. Triggering It is deployed at the same time as the front airbags. Instrument panel warning lamp. If this warning lamp comes on, ac-companied by an audible signal and a message on the multifunction screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact. Knee airbag When the ignition is on, this warning light remains lit on the instrument panel for the duration of disarming. In the "OFF" position, the passenger air bag will not be triggered in the event of an impact.
7SAFETY92 Front/rear * lateral airbags The lateral airbags protect 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 risks of injury to the chest. The lateral airbags are fi tted in the front seat back and in the rear door armrest * . Activation The lateral airbags are deployed inde-pendently of each other in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone B , perpendicular to the longitudinal cen-treline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane directed from the outside to the inside of the vehicle. The lateral airbag infl ates between the front or rear occupant of the ve-hicle and the corresponding door trim panel. * According to country. A. Front impact zone. B. Side impact zone. Activation It is deployed at the same time as the corresponding side air bags in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone B , perpendicular to the longitudinal cen-treline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane directed from the outside to the inside of the vehicle. The curtain airbag infl ates between the front or rear occupant of the ve-hicle and the windows. Impact detection zones Curtain airbags The curtain airbags protect 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 risks of injury to the head. The curtain airbags are fi tted in the door pillars and the upper part of the passenger compartment. In the event of a malfunction Instrument panel warning lamp. If this warning lamp comes on, ac-companied by an audible signal and a message on the multifunction screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact. In the event of a minor impact or bump to 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.
7SAFETY93 Curtain air bags � Do not fi x or glue anything to the pillars or the roof. This could cause injury to the head when the curtain air bag infl ates. � Do not remove the grab handlesinstalled on the roof, they play a part in securing the curtain air bags. Front air bags � Do 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. For the air bags to be fullyeffective, 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 (a child, pet, object...). This could hamper the operation of the air bags or injure the occupants. � After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the air bag systems checked. � All work on the air bag system is strictly forbidden unless it is carried out by qualifi ed personnel of the PEUGEOT network. � Even if all of the precautions men-tioned are observed, a risk of in-jury or of slight burns to the head, chest or arms, when an air bag is deployed, cannot be ruled out. The bag infl ates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then defl ates within the same time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose. * According to country. Side air bags * � Only put approved covers on the seats. These will not hamper the deployment of the side air bags. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. � Do not fi x or glue anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest or arms when the side air bag infl ates. � Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary. Steering column air bag * � Do not sit with your knees any nearer to the steering wheel than necessary.
