Operating principle
After the vehicle is started, the system 
automatically locks the doors when 
you are driving at approximately 6 mph  
(10 km/h) and over.
The door can be unlocked:
–  by pressing the button  1 to unlock 
the doors;
–  by opening a front door (vehicle sta- tionary).
NB: if a door is opened or closed, it will 
automatically lock again when the vehi-
cle reaches a speed of 6 mph (10 km/h).
Activating/deactivating the 
function
With the engine running,  press the 
button  1 for approximately 5 seconds, 
until you hear a warning beep.
Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault 
(no automatic locking, the indicator 
light incorporated in button  1 does not 
light up when trying to lock the open-
ing elements, etc.), firstly check that the 
opening elements are properly closed. 
If they are properly closed, contact an 
authorised dealer.

For safety reasons, carry 
out any adjustments when 
the vehicle is not being 
driven.
Nothing should be placed on the 
floor (area in front of driver) as such 
objects may slide under the pedal 
during braking manoeuvres, thus 
obstructing its use.
To tilt the seatback
Turn the control knob 3 and tilt the seat-
back to the desired position.

We would advise you not 
to recline the seatbacks too 
far to ensure that the effec-
tiveness of the seat belts is 
not reduced.

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 (1/3)

2
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.
Make sure that the rear bench seat 
is locked in position correctly so that 
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on 
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in 
Section 3.

ßFront seat belt reminder 
warning light
This lights up on the central display 
when the engine is started 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 2 minutes.
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)
The 
ß warning light comes on on 
the central display, accompanied by a 
message on the instrument panel, indi-
cating the number of seat belts buckled 
for approximately 30 seconds each:
–  the vehicle is started;
–  a door is opened;
–  a rear seat belt is fastened or unfas- tened.
Check that the rear passengers are 
wearing seat belts and that the number 
of seat belt shown as fastened corre-
sponds to the number of rear bench 
seat places occupied.Adjusting the height of the 
front seat belts
Press button  6 to adjust the seat belt 
height so that shoulder strap  1 is worn 
as shown previously. Press button  6 
and raise or lower the seat belt. Make 
sure that the seat belt is locked in posi-
tion correctly after you have adjusted it.
Unlocking
Press button  4 and the seat belt will be 
rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the 
belt.

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.

SEAT BELTS (3/3)
Check that the rear seat 
belts are positioned and 
operating correctly each 
time the rear bench seat is 
moved.
Rear seat beltsThe belts are locked, unlocked and 
adjusted in the same way as the front 
belts.
Fasten the seat belt 7 in the buckle B;
fasten the seat belt 8 in the buckle A;
fasten the seat belt 9 in the buckle C;
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 spe-\
cial operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised deal\
er.
– 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 inj\
ury 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 o\
r  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 neces\
sary.  Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
–  When the rear bench seat is being put back, make sure that the seat belt\
s and  buckles are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.
–  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 secured.
–  Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be \
hidden  away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).789

–  Have the entire restraint 
system checked following 
an accident.
– No operation whatso-
ever is permitted on any part of 
the system (pretensioners, air 
bags, 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 
air bag gas generators.Depending on the vehicle, they will con-
sist of:
–  front seat belt inertia reel preten-sioners;
–  chest-level load limiters;
–  air bags for 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 inertia reel pretensioner  (which engages to correct seat belt 
slack);
– airbags.
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.
With the ignition on, following a signif-
icant frontal impact and depending on 
the severity of the impact, the system 
may trigger the seat belt inertia reel 
pretensioner  1, which instantly retracts 
the seat belt.  
Page 28 of 248
1.22
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.
Airbags for driver and front 
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in-
dicated by the word “Air bag” on the 
steering wheel and dashboard (air bag 
zone A) and, depending on the vehicle, 
a symbol on the lower section of the 
windscreen.
Each air bag system consists of:
–  an 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 single 
å warning light on the 
instrument panel.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
A
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. 
In a situation where an air bag is 
required, it will inflate immediately 
and this may cause some minor, su-
perficial grazing to the skin or other 
problems.

Operating faults
This warning light 2 å will light up 
on the instrument panel when the igni-
tion 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.
2
Operation
This system is only operational when 
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags 
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.

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.
–  The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel f\
rom 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 air bag
–  Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder\
, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
–  Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umb\
rella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
–  The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as t\
here is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In  general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knee\
s, hands, head, etc.).
–  The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be react\
ivated 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, I.E. THE PASSENGER 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 obstructe\
d in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent 
the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when\
 the air bag inflates.
