the seat belt is not fastened or is unfastened.

The front seat belts are fitted with a pretensioning and force limiting
system.

This system improves safety in the front seats in the event of a front or
side impact. Depending on the severity of the impact, the pretensioning
system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.

The pretensioning seat belts are active when the ignition is on.

The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of
the occupant, so improving their protection.

RCZ_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2015

The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts
correctly and that they are all restrained securely before setting
off.

Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat
belt, even for short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfil their
role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic
adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.

Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in
correctly.

The lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible
on the pelvis.

The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which
comes into operation in the event of a collision, emergency
braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device
by pulling the strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in
slightly.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:

be tightened as close to the body as possible,

be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking
that it does not twist,

be used to restrain only one person,

not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

- not be converted or modified to avoid affecting its

performance.

In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and

equipment needed, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning
product, sold by PEUGEOT dealers.

After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the
seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.

Recommendations for children

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or
shorter than one and a half metres.

Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person.

Never allow a child to travel on your lap.

For more information, refer to the "Child seats" section.

In the event of an impact

depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact, the
pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently
of the airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied
by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.

In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.

Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if
necessary replaced, by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

SAFETY

RCZ_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2015

AIRBAGS

The airbags have been designed to contribute towards improving
the safety of the occupants in the event of violent collisions. 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 detection zones:

in the event of a serious impact, the airbags are deployed
instantaneously and contribute towards protecting the occupants of
the vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly
so that they do not hinder the visibility of the occupants 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 may not be deployed; the seat belt alone
contributes towards providing your protection in these situations.

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 be
deployed again.

The deployment of one or more airbags is accompanied by a
slight discharge 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 some irritation.

The noise of the detonation related to the deployment of one or
more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

FRONT AIRBAGS

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
chest.
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.

deployment

The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's front airbag if it is
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 chest 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.

deactivation

Only the passenger's front airbag can be deactivated:
F with the ignition off, insert the key in the passenger airbag

deactivation switch,

F turn it to the "OFF" position,
F then, remove the key keeping the switch in the new position.

To assure the safety of your child, the passenger's front airbag
must be deactivated when you install a "rearward facing" child
seat on the front passenger seat.

Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if
the airbag were deployed.

This warning lamp comes on in the passenger's front airbag
warning lamps display when the ignition is on and until the
airbag is reactivated.

SAFETY

101

RCZ_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2015

Reactivation

When you remove the child seat, 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.

With the ignition on, this warning lamp comes on in the seat
belt and passenger's front airbag warning lamps display for
approximately one minute, if the passenger's front airbag is
activated.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible warning and a message in the
screen, 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.

LATERAL AIRBAGS

System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a
violent side impact in order to limit the risks of injury to the pelvis, chest
and head*.

The lateral airbags are installed on the outer side of the seat:

one part in the front seat frame (chest-pelvis airbag),

one part in the front head restraint* (head airbag).

deployment

It is deployed unilaterally in the event of a violent impact applied to
all or part of the side impact zone B, operating at right angles to the
longitudinal axis of the vehicle in a horizontal plane and from the
exterior of the vehicle towards the interior.

The lateral airbag comes between the front occupant of the vehicle and
the corresponding door trim panel.

* Except for the 1.6 THP 270 hp version.

102

Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

The airbag may not be deployed in an impact or minor accident on
the side of the vehicle.

The airbag is not deployed in a front or rear impact.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, 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 violent impact.

SAFETY

103

RCZ_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2015

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

Sit in a normal upright position.

Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags
(a child, pet, object...). This could hamper the operation of the
airbags or injure the occupants.

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.

Front airbags

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 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.

Lateral airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause
injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is triggered.

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

104

RCZ_en_Chap05_securite_ed01-2015

Although one of PEUGEOT main criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also depends on you.

Only children between 9 and 18 kg can be carried on the rear
seats in a forward facing universal ISOFIx child seat.

When a forward facing child seat is installed on a rear passenger
seat, move the vehicle's front seat forward and straighten its
backrest so that the child seat and the child's feet do not touch the
vehicle's front seat.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO
CHILD SEATS

* The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country.

Refer to the legislation in force in your country.

For maximum safety, please observe the following recommendations:

in accordance with European regulations, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and a half metres tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their weight

, on seats fitted with a

seat belt or ISOFIx mountings*,

statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carrying
children are the rear seats,

a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the rearward
facing position both in the front and in the rear.

CHILd SEAT AT THE REAR

PEUGEOT recommends that children should travel in the outer
rear seats of your vehicle:

rearward facing up to the age of 3,

forward facing over the age of 3.

SAFETY

105

REARWARd FACING

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT*

When a rearward facing child seat is installed on the front passenger
seat, adjust the seat to the intermediate longitudinal and highest
position, with the backrest straightened.

The passenger's front airbag must be deactivated. Otherwise, the child
risks being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.

FORWARd FACING

When a forward facing child seat is installed on the front passenger
seat, adjust the vehicle's seat to the intermediate longitudinal and
highest position with seat backrest straightened and leave the
passenger's front airbag activated.

Ensure that the seat belt is correctly tensioned.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure that the support leg is
in stable contact with the floor. If necessary, adjust the passenger
seat.
