top the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check. The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.

in the temporary puncture repair kit, check

i
f it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
Reinitialisation
It is necessary to reinitialise the system every
time one or more tyre pressure is adjusted, and
after changing one or more wheels.
a

label attached to the middle pillar, driver's
side, gives a reminder of this.
be

fore reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

airbags
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
chest.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except for the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated,
in the event of a serious front impact applied
to all or part of the front impact zone A, in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the front to
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their for ward movement.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. S ide impact zone.
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger)
in the event of violent collisions. The airbags
supplement the action of the force-limiting
seat belts (with the exception of the centre rear
passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

i

n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger); immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or the exit
of the occupants,
-

i

n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again.
de

ployment of one or more of the
airbags is accompanied by a slight
emission of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of detonation related to the
deployment of one or more airbags may
result in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.

Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part
of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.
do n
ot smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries with
deployment of the airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lateral airbags.
For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you can contact a
CITR
oËn

dealer.
Refer to the "
ac

cessories" section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause injury to the chest
or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the curtain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they play a part
in securing the curtain airbags.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation of
the airbags or injure the occupants.
af

ter an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITR
oËn

dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.
For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the following
safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.

6-speed electronic gearbox system
Six-speed electronic gearbox system which
offers a choice between the comfort of fully
automatic operation or the pleasure of manual
gear changing.

of the gears by the gearbox, without any
action on the part of the driver
-

anual mode for sequential gear changing
by the driver using the gear lever or the

The speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20
mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed.
The programmed speed remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to respect speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal in the normal
manner no longer has any effect.
