Methods of restraint in addition to the front seat belts
SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)
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.– 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.
Pretensioner
With 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.
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.

SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)
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 in-
juries caused by items which may be
dislodged when the air bag inflates.
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 airbag: location 2
– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to
the dashboard in the proximity of the air bag housing.
– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, um -
brella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there
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 child
seat to ensure the protection of the front passenger in the event of an \
impact.
IT IS PROHIBITED TO FIT A REAR-FACING CHILD
SEAT TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT
PASSENGER SEAT BELT HAVE BEEN DEACTIVATED.
(Refer to the information on “Deactivating the frontpassenger air bag” in Section 1).2

Additional methods of restraint
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the 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 oc-
cupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor su-
perficial 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 pretensioners and air bags are not always triggered.
Impacts to the underside of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes o\
r 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, elec-
tronic unit, wiring, etc.), except by qualified personnel from our Netw\
ork.
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering 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.
