Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the  interior  temperature  is  very Â
h
igh,  first  ventilate  the  passenger Â
c
ompartment  for  a  few  moments.
Put
 the  air  flow  control  at  a  setting  high Â
e
nough  to  quickly  change  the  air  in  the Â
p
assenger
 c
ompartment.
The
 air  conditioning  system  does  not Â
c
ontain  chlorine  and  does  not  present Â
a
ny  danger  to  the  ozone  layer.

s
teering  wheel;  the  front  passenger's  airbag  is Â
f
itted  in  the  dashboard  above  the  glove  box.deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the passenger's  front  airbag  if  it  is  deactivated, Â
i
n  the  event  of  a  serious  front  impact  applied Â
t

the
 longitudinal  centreline  of  the  vehicle  on  a Â
h
orizontal  plane  and  directed  from  the  front  to Â
t
he  rear  of  the  vehicle.
The
 front  airbag  inflates  between  the  head-
thorax
 of  the  front  occupant  of  the  vehicle Â
