Methods of restraint in addition to the front seat belts
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/3)
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
–

N
o 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.
–

T

o avoid premature triggering
of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Network per-
sonnel are authorisedto work on
the methods of restraint in addi-
tion to the front seat belt.
–

T

he electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
–

W

hen the vehicle is scrapped,
contact an approved dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
airbag gas generators.
PretensionerWith the ignition switched on, if the
vehicle is subject to a significant fron-
tal impact the system may, depending
on the severity of the impact, trigger a
piston which instantly retracts the seat
belt.
The pretensioner holds the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in-
creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
Load limiterAbove a certain level of impact force,
this mechanism is used to limit the force
of the belt against the body so that it is
at an acceptable level.
Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:
–

seat belt pretensioners;
–


chest-level load limiters;
–


air

bags for the driver and front pas-
senger.
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 pretensioner to hold the
occupant in the seat, and the force
limiter;
–

the front air bag.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/3)
Driver’s and passenger air
bags
These may be fitted to the front seats
on the driver and passenger side (loca-
tion
A).
Each air bag system consists of:
–

a
n air bag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
–

an
electronic unit for system monitor-
ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
–

a special warning light å;
–

remote sensors.
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
An air bag may inflate immediately,
causing some minor, superficial
grazing to the skin or other discom-
fort.
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
If a severe frontal impact occurs, the
air bag(s) inflate(s) rapidly, cushion-
ing the impact of the driver’s head and
chest against the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s head against the
dashboard. The air bag then deflates
immediately so that the passengers are
not impeded in any way when they get
out of the vehicle.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/3)
Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
–
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.
–

Y

ou must not remove the steering wheel (such work must only be performed by trained 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 inflate properly and be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
–

Do

not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard in the proximity of the air bag
housing.
–

Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passen
ger (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, all parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (\
knees, hands, head etc.).
–

Y

ou should reactivate the passenger air bag as soon as you remove the child seat to ensure the protection of the front pas-
senger in the event of an impact.
A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE SEAT BELT, I.E. AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.
(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating \
the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is deployed and also to pre-
vent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged\
when the air bag deploys.

LEVELS (1/3)
Brake fluid level
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground. Level
It is normal for the level to drop as the
brake shoes become worn, but it must
never drop lower than the
“MINI” warn-
ing line shown on brake fluid reser-
voir 1.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from the manufacturer ’s net-
work or web site. Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.

LEVELS (2/3)
Coolant level checking frequency
Check the coolant level regularly
(very severe damage is likely to be
caused to the engine if it runs out of
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
–

protection against freezing;
–


a
nticorrosion protection of the cool-
ing system.
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Windscreen washer reservoir
Filling: Remove cap 3 , fill until you can
see the fluid, then refit the cap.
This reservoir supplies the front and
rear screen washers.
Liquid: Special windscreen washer
fluid (anti-freeze product in winter).
Jets: to adjust the angle of the jets,
pivot the little ball using a pin.
Use products approved by the Technical
Department.
CoolantWith the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold must
be between the MINI and MAXI marks
on reservoir
