Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres,
once the vehicle is moving.
It
compares the information given by the four
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
system triggers an alert as soon as it
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or
more tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does
not replace the need for vigilance
o
n the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check
the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
before
a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres impairs
r
oad holding, extends braking distances
a
nd causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high
loading, high speed, long journey).
System
which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
for 1 hour or after a journey of
l
ess than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
s
peeds).
Other wise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
t
he pressures shown on the label.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
ncreases fuel consumption.

The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all
fastened
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
t
hey will not fulfill their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
permitting
automatic adjustment of the
l
ength of the strap to your size. The seat belt
i
s 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
t
he event of a collision, emergency braking
o
r if the vehicle rolls over. You can release
t
he device by pulling the strap firmly and
t
hen releasing it so that it reels in slightly.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 on Child seats , refer
to
the corresponding section.
In
order
to
be
effective,
a

close
to
the
body
as
p
ossible,
-
b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement,
checking
that
it
does
not

ot
bear
any
trace
of
cuts
or
fraying,
-
n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting
it
s
p
erformance.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning
device may be deployed
b
efore and independently of the airbags.
D
eployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied
by a slight discharge of
h
armless smoke and a noise, due to the
a
ctivation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
i
ncorporated in the system.
In
all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes

Lateral airbags
Deployment
A lateral airbag is deployed unilaterally in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone B, perpendicular
to
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
h
orizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards
the inside of the vehicle.
The
lateral airbag inflates between the hip and
s
houlder of the front occupant of the vehicle
and
the corresponding door trim panel.
System which protects the driver and front
passenger
in the event of a serious side impact
i
n order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,
