Seat belts
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.
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.
I n c o r r e c t l y a d j u s t e d o r
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
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 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. 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.

On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Poor weather conditions, flooded
roads. Do not drive through water if it
is higher than the lower edge of the
wheel rim.Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system de-
tects operating faults in the vehicle’s
antipollution system. These faults may
cause mechanical damage or the re -
lease of harmful substances.
ÄThis warning light on the in -
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after three
seconds.
– If it comes on continuously, consult
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
– If it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
Driving– Drive carefully for the first few miles
until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
Driving problems
On the driver ’s side, only
use mats specially adapted
for the vehicle and attached
to prefitted devices. Check regularly
to make sure they are secure. Do
not overlay several mats.
Risk of pedals jamming .
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
– Study the road ahead so that you are
able to brake as little as possible, it
can be sufficient just to lift off the ac-
celerator.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears. Always use the
highest gear possible without labour-
ing the engine.
