Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front passenger   in   the   event   of   a   serious   front   impact  
i

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

the
  longitudinal   centreline   of   the   vehicle   on   a  
h

orizontal   plane   and   directed   from   the   front   to  
t

he   rear   of   the   vehicle.
The
  front   airbag   inflates   between   the   head-
thorax

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it does not   block   traffic:   the   ground   must   be  
l

evel,   stable   and   not   slippery.
Apply
  the   parking   brake,   switch   off   the  
i

gnition   and   engage   first   gear*   to   lock  
t

he   wheels.
If
  necessary,   place   a   chock   under   the  
w

heel   diagonally   opposite   the   wheel   to  
be c

hanged.
It
  is   imperative   that   you   ensure   that   the  
o

ccupants   get   out   of   the   vehicle   and  
w

ait   where   they   are   safe.
Never
  go   underneath   a   vehicle   raised

Take
  care   to   position   the   jack   only   at  
o

ne   of   the   jacking   points   A or B under
the
  vehicle,   ensuring   that   the   vehicle's
