The driver must ensure that passengers use the   seat   belts   correctly   and   that   they   are   all  
r

estrained   securely   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.

In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning
  device   may   be   deployed  
b

efore   and   independently   of   the   airbags.  
D

eployment   of   the   pretensioners   is  
a

ccompanied   by   a   slight   discharge   of  
h

armless   smoke   and   a   noise,   due   to   the  
a

ctivation   of   the   pyrotechnic   cartridge  
i

ncorporated   in   the   system.
In
  all   cases,   the   airbag   warning   lamp   comes   on.
Following
  an   impact,   have   the   seat   belts  
s

ystem   checked,   and   if   necessary   replaced,

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving   the   safety   of   the   occupants  
(with
  the   exception   of   the   rear   centre  
p

assenger)   in   the   event   of   violent   collisions.  
T

he   airbags   supplement   the   action   of   the   force-
limiting
  seat   belts   (with   the   exception   of   the  
c

entre
 r
ear
 p
assenger).
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   (with   the   exception   of   the  
r

ear   centre   passenger);   immediately   after  
t

he   impact,   the   airbags   deflate   rapidly   so  
t

hat   they   do   not   hinder   visibility   or   the   exit  
o

f the occupants,
-
 
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  
a

lone   contributes   towards   ensuring   your  
p

rotection   in   these   situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
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. Deployment
  of   one   or   more   of   the  
a

irbags   is   accompanied   by   a   slight  
e

mission   of   smoke   and   a   noise,   due  
t

o the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge
  incorporated   in   the   system.
This
  smoke   is   not   harmful,   but   sensitive  
i

ndividuals   may   experience   slight  
ir

ritation.
The
  noise   of   detonation   related   to   the  
d

eployment   of   one   or   more   airbags   may  
r

esult   in   a   slight   loss   of   hearing   for   a  
s

hort   time.
