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   fulfil   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

a

nd   a   half   metres.
Never
  use   the   same   seat   belt   to   secure   more  
t

Never
  allow   a   child   to   travel   on   your   lap.
For
  more   information   on   child   seats,   refer   to

D

Airbags
Designed to contribute towards the safety of the   occupants   in   the   event   of   violent   collisions.  
T

he   airbags   supplement   the   action   of   the   force-
limiting
  seat   belts.
If
  a   collision   occurs,   the   electronic   detectors  
r

ecord   and   analyse   the   front   and   side   impacts  
s

ustained   in   the   impact   detection   zones:
-
 
i
n   the   case   of   a   serious   impact,   the   airbags  
a

re   deployed   instantly   and   contribute  
t

owards   better   protection   of   the   occupants  
o

f   the   vehicle;   immediately   after   the   impact,  
t

he   airbags   deflate   rapidly   so   that   they  
d

o   not   hinder   visibility   or   the   exit   of   the  
o

ccupants,
-
 
i
n   the   case   of   a   minor   or   rear   impact   or   in  
c

ertain   roll-over   conditions,   the   airbags  
m

ay   not   be   deployed;   the   seat   belt   alone  
c

ontributes   towards   providing   your  
p

rotection   in   these   situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off. The
  deployment   of   an   airbag   is  
a

ccompanied   by   a   slight   emission  
o

f   smoke   and   a   noise,   due   to   the  
d

etonation   of   the   pyrotechnic   charge  
i

ncorporated   in   the   system.
This
  smoke   is   not   harmful,   but   sensitive  
i

ndividuals   may   experience   slight  
ir

ritation.
The
  detonation   noise   associated   with  
t

he   deployment   of   an   airbag   may   result  
i

n   a   slight   loss   of   hearing   for   a   short  
t

ime.
This
  equipment   will   only   deploy   once.  
I

f   a   second   impact   occurs   (during   the  
s

ame   or   a   subsequent   accident),   the  
a

irbag   will   not   be   deployed   again.

Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's   front   airbag   if   it   is   deactivated,   in   the e

vent   of   a   serious   front   impact   to   all   or   part   of   the
 f

ront   impact   zone   A,
  in   the   longitudinal   centreline
 o

f   the   vehicle   on   a   horizontal   plane   and   directed
 f

rom   the   front   to   the   rear   of   the   vehicle.
The
  front   airbag   inflates   between   the   thorax   and
 h

ead   of   the   front   occupant   of   the   vehicle   and   the
 s

teering   wheel,   driver's   side,   and   the   dashboard,
 p

assenger's   side   to   cushion   their   for ward
 m

ovement.
System
  which   protects   the   driver   and   front  
p

assenger   in   the   event   of   a   serious   front   impact  
i

n   order   to   limit   the   risk   of   injury   to   the   head   and  
t

horax.
The   driver's   airbag   is   fitted   in   the   centre   of   the  
s

teering   wheel;   the   front   passenger's   airbag   is  
f

itted   in   the   dashboard   above   the   glove   box.
