Always wear your seat belt when trav-

elling in your vehicle. You must also

comply with the legislation of the par-

ticular country you are in.

SEAT BELTS

(1/4)

Incorrectly adjusted or

twisted seat belts may

cause injuries in the event

of an accident.

Use one seat belt per person,

whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear

a seat belt. In this case, ensure that

the lap belt is not exerting too much

pressure on the abdomen, but do

not allow any slack.

Before starting, first adjust your driv-

ing position, then ask all occupants

to adjust their seat belts to ensure

optimum protection.

Adjusting your driving

position

– Sit well back in your seat (having

first removed your coat or jacket).

This is essential to ensure your back

is positioned correctly;

– adjust the distance between the

seat and the pedals. Your seat

should be as far back as possible

while still allowing you to depress

the clutch pedal fully. The seatback

should be adjusted so that your arms

are slightly bent when you hold the

steering wheel;

– adjust the position of your head-

rest. For the maximum safety, your

head must be as close as possible to

the headrest;

– adjust the height of the seat. This

adjustment allows you to select the

seat position which offers you the

best possible view;

– adjust the position of the steering

wheel.

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the

seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as

possible to the base of the neck but not

on it.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the

thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is

as close as possible to your body, i.e.:

avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-

ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

1.24

SEAT BELTS

(2/4)

Locking

Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly

and ensure that buckle 3 locks into

catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull-

ing on buckle 3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly

before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed,

pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over

3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly

before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-

proved dealer.

Driver’s seat belt reminder

and, depending on the vehi-

cle, front passenger seat belt re-

minder

This lights up on the central display

when starting the engine then, if the

driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt

(if this seat is occupied) is not fastened

and the vehicle has reached approxi-

mately 12 mph (20 km/h), it flashes and

a bleep sounds for around 120 sec-

onds.

Note: an object placed on the passen-

ger seat base may activate the warning

light in some cases.
Rear seat belt reminder (depending

on vehicle)

Warning light

lights up on the

central display, accompanied by the

graphic 6 on the instrument panel for

approximately 30 seconds each time

the vehicle is started, a door is opened

or a rear seat belt is fastened or unfas-

tened.

Check that the rear passengers are

wearing seat belts and that the number

of seat belts shown as fastened cor-

responds to the number of rear seat

places occupied.
On the graphic 6:

– marker in green: seat belt fastened;

– marker in red: seat belt unfastened.

Unfastening

Press button 4 and the seat belt will be

rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the

SEAT BELTS

(3/4)

Check that the rear seat

belts are positioned and

operating correctly each

time the rear bench seat is

moved.

Rear seat belts 8

The belts are locked, unlocked and

adjusted in the same way as the front

belts.

Adjusting the height of the

front seat belts

Use button 7 to adjust the seat belt

height so that the shoulder strap is worn

as shown previously. Press the button 7

and raise or lower the seat belt. Make

sure that the seat belt is locked in posi-

tion correctly after you have adjusted it.

1.26

The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: seat belts, seats and

their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.

– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too

loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.

– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around

them.

– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as

they show any signs of wear.

– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly se-

cured.

– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob-

jects).

SEAT BELTS

(4/4)

1.27

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

(1/4)

Depending on the vehicle, they are

composed of:

– seat belt inertia reel pretension-

ers;

–  driver’s lap belt pretensioners;
–  chest-level load limiter;
–  airbags  driver and passenger

front.

These systems are designed to act in-

dependently or together when the vehi-

cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the

impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner

(which engages to correct seat belt

slack);

– the lap belt pretensioners to hold the

occupant in his seat;

– the front airbag.

Pretensioners

The pretensioners hold the seat belt

against the body, holding the occupant

more securely against the seat, thus in-

creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
In the event of a severe frontal impact

and if the ignition is switched on, the

system may engage the following de-

pending on the force of the impact:
– seat belt inertia reel pretensioner 1

which instantly retracts the seat belt;

– the lap belt pretensioner 2 for the

driver only.

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following

an accident.

– No operation whatso-

ever is permitted on any part

of the system (pretensioners,

airbags, computers, wiring) and

the system components must not

be reused on any other vehicle,

even if identical.

– To avoid incorrect triggering of

the system which may cause

injury, only qualified personnel

from an approved dealer may

work on the pretensioner and air

bag system.

– The electric trigger system may

only be tested by a specially

trained technician using special

equipment.

– When the vehicle is scrapped,

contact an approved dealer for

disposal of the pretensioner and

airbags gas generators.

1.28

Load limiter

Above a certain severity of impact, this

mechanism is used to limit the force of

the belt against the body so that it is at

an acceptable level.

driver and passenger front

Airbags

Fitted to the driver and passenger

sides.
The presence of this equipment is indi-

cated by the word “Airbag” on the steer-

ing wheel, dashboard (in area airbag A)

and, depending on the vehicle, a label

on the lower section of the windscreen.
Each airbag system consists of:
– an airbag and gas generator fitted on

the steering wheel for the driver and

in the dashboard for the passenger;

– an electronic unit for system monitor-

ing which controls the gas generator

electrical trigger system;

– a single

warning light on the

instrument panel.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

(2/4)

The airbag system uses py-

rotechnic principles. This

explains why, when the

airbag inflates, it will gener-

ate heat, produce smoke (this does

not mean that a fire is about to start)

and make a banging noise. In a situ-

ation where an airbag is required, it

will inflate immediately and this may

cause some minor, superficial graz-

ing to the skin or other problems.

1.29

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

(3/4)

Operating faults

This warning light

will light up on

the instrument panel when the ignition

is switched on and then go out after a

few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition

is switched on, or comes on when the

engine is running, there is a fault in the

system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon

as possible. Your protection will be re-

duced until this fault is rectified.

Operation
This system is only operational when

the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the airbags

inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact

of the driver's head and chest against

the steering wheel and of the front pas-

senger against the dashboard. The air-

bags then deflate immediately so that

the passengers are not in any way hin-

dered from leaving the vehicle.

1.30

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

(4/4)

Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag

– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.

–  Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
–  The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network).
–  When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting

your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger airbag

–  Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the airbag.
–  Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
–  The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In

general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.).

– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure

the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS

THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, IE. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.

(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger airbag” in Section 1)

All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent

the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when it inflates.

1.31

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SIDE SEAT BELTS

Force limiter

Above a certain severity of impact, this

mechanism is used to limit the force of

the belt against the body so that it is at

an acceptable level.

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following

an accident.

– No operation whatsoever

is permitted on any part of the

system (air bags, electronic con-

trol units, wiring) and the system

components must not be reused

on any other vehicle, even if iden-

tical.

– Only qualified personnel from

our Network may work on the air

bags; otherwise the system may

trigger accidentally and cause

injury.

1.32

Side Airbags

An airbag can be fitted to each front

seat and the rear side seats, which are

deployed on the side of the seat (door

side) to protect the occupants in the

case of a severe side impact.

Curtain Airbags

These are airbag fitted along the sides

of the vehicle in the ceiling which trigger

along the front and rear door side win-

dows to protect the passengers in case

of a severe side impact.

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Warning relating to the side airbag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers spe-

cifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find out

if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those de-

signed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) may

affect the operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.

– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the

door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as

clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly

or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal

fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.

Depending on the vehicle, a mark-

ing on the windscreen informs you

of the presence of additional means

of restraint (air bags, pretensioners,

etc.) in the passenger compartment.

1.33

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the

air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system.

It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not

worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event

of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries occurring

when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible

with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe,

the pretensioners and airbags are not always triggered. Impacts to the underside

of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these sys-

tems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the

airbag system (airbags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except

by qualified Network personnel.

– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental trig-

gering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel

may work on the airbag system.

– As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has

been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.

– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand

over this handbook with the vehicle.

– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the

gas generator(s).

All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any

way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused

by items which may be dislodged when it inflates.

Operating faults

This warning light comes on

when the engine is started and then

goes out after approximately three se-

conds.
If it does not come on when the ignition

is switched on or if it stays on, there is a

fault in the system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon

as possible.
Your protection will be reduced until this

fault is rectified.
