Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched off, or

Operating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp
and the indicator lamp in the button,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a
message, indicate a fault with
these systems.
Have them checked by an
authorised dealer or by a
qualified
workshop. ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations, not
only about the wheels (tyres and rims),
braking and electronic components but
also the assembly and repair procedures
used in the dealer network.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.
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
seats in the event of a
front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of
the seat belt on the passenger's chest, thus
improving their protection.
Fastening
F Pull the strap then insert the tongue in the buckle.

Advice
The driver must ensure that the passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they are
all fastened before driving.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not completely fulfil their role.
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia
reel which allows the strap length to adjust
automatically to your shape. The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be positioned
as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels have an automatic blocking
device at the time of a collision, during
sudden braking or if the vehicle turns over.
You can release the device by pulling the
strap firmly and then releasing it so that it
reels in slightly. In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-
b e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not twist,
-

b
e used to restrain only one person,
-

n
ot show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-

n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance. Recommendations for children
Use a
suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12
years old or shorter than one and
a
half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a
child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats , refer to
the corresponding section.
In accordance with current safety regulations,
for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go
to a
qualified workshop with the skills and
equipment needed, which the dealer network
is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly in
the dealer network or a
qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or
a
textile cleaning product, sold in the dealer
network.
After folding or moving a
seat or a rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly. In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact
, the pyrotechnic device may
be deployed before and independent of the
airbags. Deployment of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a
slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a
noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
in the dealer network or by a
qualified
workshop.

Airbags
General information
This system contributes towards improving the
safety of passengers (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) in the event of violent
collisions. The airbags supplement the action
of the seat belts fitted with force limiters (all
except the centre rear passenger belt).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

i
n the event of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the passengers
(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
passengers,
-

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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone. The deployment of an airbag is
accompanied by a
slight emission of
smoke and a noise, due to the detonation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an airbag may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
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.
