Get Safety -> Airbags Guide for Peugeot 3008 SUV 2020

Safety

When one or more airbags are deployed,

the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge

incorporated in the system makes a noise and

releases a small quantity of smoke.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience irritation.

The detonation noise associated with the

deployment of one or more airbags may result

in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Never carry a child on your lap.

For more information on Child seats, refer to

the corresponding section.

– In the event of violent impact, the airbags

deploy instantly and help better protect the

occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the

impact, the airbags deﬂate rapidly in order not

to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the

occupants.

– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact

and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags

may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to

protect you in these situations.

Maintenance

In accordance with current safety

regulations, for all work on your vehicle's

seat belts, contact a qualiﬁed workshop with

the skills and equipment needed, which a

PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.

Have the seat belts checked regularly by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop,

particularly if the straps show signs of

damage.

The seriousness of the impact depends on the

nature of the obstacle and the speed of the

vehicle at the moment of collision.

Front airbags

The airbags do not operate when the

ignition is switched oﬀ.

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.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or

a textile cleaning product, sold by PEUGEOT

dealers.

Airbags

Impact detection zones

General information

System designed to help improve the safety

of the occupants sitting in the front seats and

the rear outer seats, in the event of a violent

collision. The airbags supplement the action

of the seat belts equipped with a force limiting

system.

System that protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious front impact,

limiting the risk of head and chest injury.

The driver's airbag is ﬁtted in the centre of the

steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is

ﬁtted in the dashboard above the glove box.

A. Front impact zone

B. Side impact zone

Electronic detectors record and analyse the

front and side impacts sustained in the impact

detection zones:

The front airbags are adaptive. In

particular, they inﬂate less ﬁrmly in the

Safety

presence of a smaller occupant, with the seat

set in a forward longitudinal position.

Each lateral airbag is ﬁtted in the seat backrest

frame, on the door side.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp lights up on the instrument panel.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop to have the system checked.

The airbags may not be deployed in the event of

a serious impact.

Deployment

The lateral airbags are deployed on one side in

the event of a serious side impact applied to all

or part of the side impact zone B.

The lateral airbag inﬂates between the chest of

the vehicle's occupant and the corresponding

door panel.

They deploy, except the front passenger airbag

if it is deactivated*, in the event of a serious front

impact to all or part of the front impact zone A.

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.

In the event of a minor impact or bump at

the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle

rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.

In the event of a rear or front collision, none of

the lateral airbags are deployed.

Curtain airbags

System contributing towards greater protection

for 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.

Lateral airbags

Advice

For the airbags to be fully eﬀective,

observe the safety recommendations

below.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and

the upper passenger compartment area.

Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.

Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.

Do not place anything between the occupants

and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do

not ﬁx or attach anything near or in the path of

the airbags, as this could cause injuries when

they are deployed.

Never modify the original deﬁnition of the

vehicle, particularly in the area directly around

the airbags.

Deployment

It deploys simultaneously with the corresponding

lateral airbag in the event of a serious side

impact applied to all or part of the side impact

zone B.

The curtain airbag inﬂates between the front

and rear occupants of the vehicle and the

corresponding windows.

In the event of a serious side impact, this system

protects the driver and front passenger to

mitigate the risk of injury to the chest, between

the hip and the shoulder.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned are

observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to

Safety

the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out

when an airbag is deployed. 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.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been

stolen, have the airbag systems checked.

All work must be carried out only by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the seat

backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause

injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is

deployed.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any

nearer to the door than necessary.

The vehicle's front door panels include side

impact sensors.

A damaged door or any unauthorised or

incorrectly executed work (modiﬁcation or

repair) on the front doors or their interior trim

could compromise the operation of these

sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral

airbags!

For maximum safety, please observe the

following recommendations:

– In accordance with European regulations,

all children under the age of 12 or less than

1,5 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.

– Children weighing less than 9 kg must

travel in the "rearward facing" position,

whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.

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.

It is recommended that children travel

on the rear seats of the vehicle:

– ‘rearward facing’ up to the age of 3,

– ‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.

All work must be carried out only by a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualiﬁed workshop.

Curtain airbags

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the roof,

as this could cause head injuries when the

curtain airbag is deployed.

Do not remove the grab handles installed on

the roof, as these help to secure the curtain

airbags.

Make sure that the seat belt is correctly

positioned and tightened.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure that

the support leg is in ﬁrm and steady contact

with the ﬂoor.

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the steering

wheel or dashboard, as this could cause

injuries when the airbags are deployed.

Advice

Lateral airbags

Child seats

An incorrectly installed child seat

compromises the child's safety in the

event of an accident.

Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt

buckle under the child seat, as this could

destabilise it.

Use only approved seat covers

compatible with the deployment of these

airbags. For information on the range of seat

covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer.

The regulations on carrying children are

speciﬁc to each country. Refer to the

legislation in force in your country.
