FRONT SEATS
We would advise you not to recline the seatbacks too far to ensure that  
the effectiveness of the seat belts is not reduced.
Make sure that the seatback is locked in place correctly.
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 us\
e.

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.
Before starting, first adjust your driv- 
ing  position,  then  ask  all  occupants  
to adjust their seat belt to ensure op- 
timum protection.
I n c o r r e c t l y   a d j u s t e d   o r  
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.
Adjusting your driving  
position
(certain adjustments depend on the ve- 
hicle’s equipment level)
–   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.

Adjusting the front seat belt  
height
Press  button  6   to  adjust  the  seat  belt  
height 
so  that  shoulder  strap  1  is  worn  
as shown previously:
–
  to lower the seat belt, press button  6  
and  lower  the  seat  belt  at  the  same  
time;
–
  to raise the seat belt, press button  6  
and  lift  the  seat  belt  to  the  required  
position.
Make  sure  that  the  seat  belt  is  locked  
in  position  correctly  after  you  have  ad- 
justed it.
Locking
Unwind  the  belt  slowly  and  smoothly  
a
nd  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.
çFront  seat  belt  reminder  
warning light
This  comes  on  when  the  
engine  is  started  if  the  driver’s  or  front  
passenger’s seat belt (if the passenger  
seat is occupied) is not buckled. A beep  
sounds at a low volume for 30 seconds,  
then at a high volume for 90 seconds.

–   No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their mountings)  
fitted originally. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats) contact an approve\
d Dealer.
–
  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 injury 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 or 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 necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as   
they show any signs of wear.
–
  When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used prop - 
erly.
–
  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  se - 
cured.
The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

Methods of restraint in addition to the front seat belts
Pretensioners
With  the  ignition  on,   in  the  event  of  
a  serious  frontal impact,  piston  1   in- 
stantly  retracts  the  seat  belt  buckle,  
pulling  the  seat  belt  against  the  body  
and thereby increasing its efficiency.
These are:
–
  pretensioners ,
–
  force limiter,
–  driver’s and passenger air bags .
These  systems  are  designed  to  act  
independently  or  together  when  the  
vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact.
There are three possibilities, depending  
on the level of impact force:
–
   protection  is  provided  by  the  seat   
belt only;
–
  the  pretensioner  is  triggered  to  rec - 
tify belt position and seat belt slack;
–
  the  air  bag  and  the  force  limiter  are   
also triggered when there are severe  
impacts.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN  ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/5)

–  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.

Load limiter
Above  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.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN  ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/5)
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;
–
  a  shared  electronic  unit  which  in - 
cludes  the  impact  detector  and  a  
monitoring  system  which  controls  
the  ignition  module  for  the  gas  gen- 
erator;
–
  a  single 
å  tell-tale  light  on  the  
instrument panel.
Air bags for driver and front  
passenger
An air bag may be provided for both the  
driver and the front passenger.
The  presence  of  this  equipment  is  in- 
dicated  by  the  word  “Air  bag”  on  the  
steering wheel and dashboard and, de- 
pending  on  the  vehicle,  a  label  on  the  
lower part of the windscreen.
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.

Depending  on  the  vehicle,  the  passen- 
ger  air  bag  system  is  linked  to  a  front  
passenger  air  bag  deactivation  warn- 
ing 
light  2 on the instrument panel. This  
warning light is linked to the passenger  
air  bag  deactivation  system  using  the  
ignition key.
It  lights  up  to  indicate  that  the  passen- 
ger  air  bag  will  not  inflate  in  the  event  
of  an  impact  (refer  to  the  information  
on  “Front  passenger  air  bag  deactiva- 
tion”).
Operating faults
W
arning  light  1   will  light  up  on  the  in- 
strument  panel  when  the  ignition  is  
turned  on  and  then  go  out  after  a  few  
seconds.
If  it  does  not  light  up  when  the  ignition  
is switched on or if it flashes, 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.
Driver and passenger air  
bags (continued)
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.
