Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four t
yres, 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
o
r more tyres. The
under-inflation detection system
d
oes not replace the need for vigilance
o
n the part of the driver.
This
system does not avoid the need to
c
heck the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
b
efore a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres impairs
r
oad holding, extends braking distances
a
nd causes premature tyre wear,
p
articularly 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
y
our vehicle can be found on the tyre
p
ressure label.
For
more information on the
I
dentification markings, refer to the
corresponding
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
s
topped 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
f
astened before setting off.
Wherever
you are seated in the vehicle,
a
lways 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
p
ermitting 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
b
elt is reeled in correctly.
The
lower part of the strap must be
p
ositioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The
upper part must be positioned in the
h
ollow of the shoulder.
The
inertia reels are fitted with an automatic
l
ocking 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
a
nd a half metres.
Never

D
eployment of the pretensioners is
a
ccompanied 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
p
art of the side impact zone B, perpendicular
t
o the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
h
orizontal plane and directed from the outside
t
owards the inside of the vehicle.
The
lateral airbag inflates between the hip and
s
houlder of the front occupant of the vehicle
a
nd the corresponding door trim panel.
System
which protects the driver and front
p
assenger in the event of a serious side impact
