Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning  and   force   limiting   system.
This
  system   improves   safety   in   the   front  
s

eats   in   the   event   of   a   front   or   side   impact.  
D

epending   on   the   severity   of   the   impact,   the  
p

retensioning   system   instantly   tightens   the   seat  
b

elts   against   the   body   of   the   occupants.
The
  pretensioning   seat   belts   are   active   when  
t

he   ignition   is   on.
The
  force   limiter   reduces   the   pressure   of   the  
s

eat belt on the chest of the occupant, so
improving
  their   protection.

Seat belt not fastened /
unfastened warning lamp
When the ignition is switched on, this warning   lamp   comes   on   in   the   instrument p

anel,   if   the   driver   and/or   the   front
 p

assenger   has   not   fastened   their   seat   belt.
From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) this   warning   lamp   flashes   for   two   minutes  
a

ccompanied   by   an   audible   signal   of   increasing  
v

olume.   Once   these   two   minutes   have   elapsed,  
t

his   warning   lamp   remains   on   until   the   driver  
a

nd/or   the   front   passenger   fastens   their  
seat
  belt.

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving   the   safety   of   the   occupants   (with  
t

he   exception   of   the   rear   centre   passenger)  
i

n   the   event   of   violent   collisions.   The   airbags  
s

upplement   the   action   of   the   force-limiting  
s

eat   belts   (with   the   exception   of   the   centre   rear  
p

assenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record
  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
towards better protection of the occupants
of
  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. 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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front  impact   zone.
B. S ide   impact   zone.
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
deployment
  of   one   or   more   airbags  
m

ay   result   in   a   slight   loss   of   hearing   for  
a

  short   time.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.

5 litres   of   fuel   in   the   tank.
You   must   refuel   as   soon   as   possible   to   avoid
