SEAT BELTS (1/5)
Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
Incorrectly adjusted or
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
The seatbelt is for the use of one
person only, whether adult or child.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, adjust your driving
position and then have each occu-
pant adjust their seat belt to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving position
(depending on the vehicle)
– Sit well back in your seat (having
removed your coat or jacket etc.).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head- rest. For the maximum safety, your
head must be as close as possible to
the headrest;
– adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view;
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as
possible to the base of the neck but not
on it.
Lap belt 2 must be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis. The seat
belt must be worn as close to the body
as possible. i.e.: avoid wearing heavy
clothing or keeping bulky objects under
the belts, etc.

Make sure that the rear bench seat
is locked in position correctly so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in
Section 3.

To fasten
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 4 locks into
catch 6 (check that it is locked by pulling
on buckle 4). If it jams, allow it to return
before attempting to unwind it again. If
your seat belt is completely jammed,
pull slowly, but firmly so that just over
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.
Adjusting the front seat belt
height
(depending on the vehicle)
Move button 7 to select the position you
require so that chest strap 3 is worn as
described above.
Make sure that the seat belt is locked
in position correctly after you have ad-
justed it.
ßSeat belt reminder light
Depending on the vehicle, it
comes on when the engine is started
and if the driver’s and/or passenger’s
seat belt is not fastened. When the ve-
hicle is being driven, it comes on and a
beep sounds for approximately 2 min-
utes until the driver’s seat belt is fas-
tened.
Note: an object placed on the passen-
ger seat base may activate the warning
light in some cases.
Unlocking
Press button 5 on catch 6; the seat belt
is wound up by the inertia reel. Guide
the buckle to facilitate this manoeuvre.

SEAT BELTS (5/5)
The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.
– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fit\
ted restraint system: seat belts, seats and
their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), co\
ntact an authorised dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too
loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby o\
r child on your lap with your seat belt around them.
– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if neces\
sary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– When refitting the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are co\
rrectly positioned so that they can be used properly.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch\
as they could prevent it from being properly se- cured.
– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be \
hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob- jects).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/3)
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatsoever
is permitted on any part of the
system (air bags, electronic con-
trol units, wiring) and the system
components must not be reused
on any other vehicle, even if iden-
tical.
– To avoid premature triggering of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Network per-
sonnel are authorisedto work on
the methods of restraint in addi-
tion to the front seat belt.
– The electric trigger system may only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped, contact an approved dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
airbag gas generators.
PretensionerWith the ignition switched on, if the
vehicle is subject to a significant fron-
tal impact the system may, depending
on the severity of the impact, trigger a
piston which instantly retracts the seat
belt.
The pretensioner holds the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in-
creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
Load limiterAbove a certain level of impact force,
this mechanism is used to limit the force
of the belt against the body so that it is
at an acceptable level.
Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:
– seat belt pretensioners;
– chest-level load limiters;
– air bags for the driver and front pas-
senger.
These systems are designed to act in-
dependently or together when the vehi-
cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt pretensioner to hold the occupant in the seat, and the force
limiter;
– the front air bag.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/3)
Driver’s and passenger air
bags
These may be fitted to the front seats
on the driver and passenger side (loca-
tion A).
Each air bag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monitor- ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– a special warning light
å;
– remote sensors.
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
An air bag may inflate immediately,
causing some minor, superficial
grazing to the skin or other discom-
fort.
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
If a severe frontal impact occurs, the
air bag(s) inflate(s) rapidly, cushion-
ing the impact of the driver’s head and
chest against the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s head against the
dashboard. The air bag then deflates
immediately so that the passengers are
not impeded in any way when they get
out of the vehicle.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/3)
Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.
– Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
– You must not remove the steering wheel (such work must only be performed\
by trained personnel from our Network).
– When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your \
arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting
your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to inflate properly and be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard in the proximity of the air b ag
housing.
– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umb\
rella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as t\
here is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In general, all parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (\
knees, hands, head etc.).
– You should reactivate the passenger air bag as soon as you remove the chi\
ld seat to ensure the protection of the front pas- senger in the event of an impact.
A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE SEAT BELT, I.E. AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.
(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating \
the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructe\
d in any way when it is deployed and also to pre-
vent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged\
when the air bag deploys.

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Side air bags
These air bags may be fitted to the front
seats and are deployed at the sides of
the seats (door side) to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of a severe side
impact.
Warnings concerning the side air bag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved dealer to fi\
nd
out if such covers are available from our Network. The use of any covers
other than those designed for your vehicle (including those designed for an-
other vehicle) may affect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protec-
tion.
– Do not place any accessories, objects, or even pets, between the seatbac\
k, the door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with objects such
as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating cor-
rectly or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal fittings, except by qualified personnel from our Network.

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both t\
he
airbags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system.\

It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are
not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the
event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial\
injuries
occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are \
always
possible with airbags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-
tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Impacts to the undersi\
de of the
vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these \
systems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the
driver or passenger air bag system (air bag, electronic unit, wiring, etc.), except
by qualified personnel from our Network.
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidenta\
l trig- gering of the system which could cause injury, only qualified personnel from
our Network may work on the air bag system.
– As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle \
has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.
– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and\
hand over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it\
is inflated and also to prevent
the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when\
the air bag inflates.
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
Operating faults
This warning light å will light up on
the instrument panel when the ignition
is switched on and then go out after a
few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or if it lights up when the
engine is running, it indicates a fault in
the system. In this case, fitting a child
seat in the front passenger seat is
PROHIBITED.
Contact an approved dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.
