Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the   interior   temperature   is   very  
h

igh,   first   ventilate   the   passenger  
c

ompartment   for   a   few   moments.
Put
  the   air   flow   control   at   a   setting   high  
e

nough   to   quickly   change   the   air   in   the  
p

ompartment.
The
  air   conditioning   system   does   not  
c

ontain   chlorine   and   does   not   present  
a

Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front passenger   in   the   event   of   a   serious   front   impact  
i

n   order   to   limit   the   risk   of   injury   to   the   head   and  
c

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

teering   wheel;   the   front   passenger's   airbag   is  
f

itted   in   the   dashboard   above   the   glove   box.deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's   front   airbag   if   it   is   deactivated,  
i

n   the   event   of   a   serious   front   impact   applied  
t

o   all   or   part   of   the   front   impact   zone   A, in
the
  longitudinal   centreline   of   the   vehicle   on   a  
h

orizontal   plane   and   directed   from   the   front   to  
t

he   rear   of   the   vehicle.
The
  front   airbag   inflates   between   the   head-
thorax
  of   the   front   occupant   of   the   vehicle  
a

nd   the   dashboard   to   cushion   their   for ward  
m

ovement.
