DRIVING YOUR 306

AIRBAGS

The airbag system has been designed

to maximise the safety of the occu-

pants in the event of serious collisions.

It works in conjunction with the seat

belts.

The electronic detectors register and

analyse any abrupt deceleration of the

vehicle; if the triggering threshold is

reached the airbags inflate instantly

and come between the occupants and

the vehicle.

Immediately after the impact, the

airbags deflate rapidly, so that they do

not hinder the visibility of the occu-

pants and their exit if necessary from

the vehicle.

DRIVING YOUR 306

WARNING

For the front and side airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:

• Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

• Sit in a normal upright position.

• Do not leave an accessory, or any other object between the occupants of the front seats and the airbags. It could

hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants.

• All work on the airbag system is strictly forbidden unless it is carried out by qualified personnel of the PEUGEOT

network.

• After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the airbag systems checked.

• The airbag systems have been designed to be fully operational for 10 years after the vehicle has been registered.

Have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer at this time.

• Front air bags*

• Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel.

• Smoke as little as possible; 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.

• Side air bags*

• Fit only approved covers to the front seats.

• Do not fix or glue anything to the front seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest or arms when the side airbag

inflates.

• Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

* According to specification.
