come on (sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps
and number plate lamps).
When the ignition is switched off, all the lights
go out.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few

recommendations
Do not remove the labels attached in
different places on your vehicle. They
include safety warnings as well as
identification information for the vehicle.
For any work on your vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required, all
of which a dealer or qualified workshop is
able to provide.
Depending on national regulations,
certain safety equipment may be
mandatory: high visibility safety vests,
warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, etc.
Installing equipment and accessories
Fitting electrical equipment or
accessories not approved by the
Manufacturer may cause excessive power
consumption and faults in your vehicle's
electrical system. Contact a dealer or
qualified workshop for information on the
range of approved accessories.
Any modification or adaptation not intended or
authorised by the Manufacturer or carried out
without meeting the technical requirements
defined by the Manufacturer will result in the

Seat belts
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel
which allows the strap length to automatically
adjust to your shape. The seat belt returns to its
storage automatically when it is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event of a
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Fastening
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
►
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling on the strap.
Unlocking
► Press the red button on the buckle.
► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
Advice
The driver must ensure that the passenger uses the seat belt correctly
and that it is securely fastened before setting
off.
The driver or passenger must always fasten
their seatbelt even for short journeys.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.

16
Safety
Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
–
be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
–
be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it is not twisted.
–
must only be used to secure one person.
– must not show signs of tearing or fraying.
– must not be changed or modified, in order
to avoid affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than one
and a half metres.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
Have the seat belts checked regularly by
a dealer or qualified workshop, particularly if
the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or
a textile cleaning product, sold by dealers or
qualified workshops.
Child seats
The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
–
In accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less than
1.5 metres tall must travel in approved child
seats appropriate for their weight , on seats
fitted with a seat belt.
–
Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearward facing" position .
Advice
An incorrectly installed child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's safety in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harness keeping the slack relative
to the child's body to a minimum, even for
short journeys.
Check that the seat belt is properly tightened
over the child seat and that it holds the child
seat firmly against the vehicle seat.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped
with a belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety measure, do not leave: – A child alone and unsupervised inside
the vehicle.
–
A child or an animal in a vehicle exposed to
the sun with the windows closed.
–
The keys inside the vehicle.

If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
► Check that the depth of water does not
exceed 10 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users.

Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h).
► Do not stop and do not switch off the motor.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow

, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in any doubt about the condition of your
vehicle, consult a dealer or qualified workshop.
