A lateral airbag deploys unilaterally in the event of a serious side impact to all or part of the side impact zone B, perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline and directed from outside to inside. It inflates between the hip and shoulder of the front occupant and the corresponding door trim panel, protecting the chest.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest frame on the door side.
This system improves protection of driver and passengers (except rear centre passenger) in serious side impacts, limiting head injury. Curtain airbags are built into the pillars and upper passenger compartment area. Minor side impacts or rollovers may not deploy the airbags. Rear or front collisions do not deploy curtain airbags.
Curtain airbags deploy simultaneously with the corresponding lateral airbag in serious side impacts, inflating between occupants and the windows. If the warning lamp illuminates, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop.
Use only approved seat covers compatible with lateral airbags. Do not attach anything to seat backs or sit closer to the door than necessary.
Do not rest hands on the steering wheel centre or place feet on dashboard. Avoid smoking. Never remove, pierce, or hit the steering wheel/dashboard. Do not attach anything to steering wheel or dashboard.
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. Do not remove grab handles, as they help secure curtain airbags.
Rearward facing: Ensure seat belt is correctly tensioned. Seat must be fully back and highest position, backrest straightened. Deactivate passenger airbag to prevent injury.
Forward facing: Seat must be fully back and highest position, backrest straightened. Passenger airbag remains activated.
