STEERING WHEEL, CLOCK
Adjusting the steering wheel
Depending on the vehicle version, the
height of the steering wheel can be ad-
justed. Lift lever 1 and place the steer-
ing wheel in the desired position; lower
the lever to lock the steering wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
If the electrical supply is cut (battery
disconnected, broken supply wire,
etc.), the clock will lose its time set-
ting.
The clock must be reset.
Resetting the clock
With the ignition on, select display 2
showing the total mileage and clock.
There are two ways to set the time:
– Pressing and holding button 3 allows
you to scroll through the hours and
minutes quickly;
– short presses on button 3 allow you
to set the time minute by minute.

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.

SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
Driver’s and passenger air
bags
These may be provided for the driver
and the front passenger seats.
The presence of this equipment is in -
dicated by the words “Air bag” on the
steering wheel and the dashboard, and
a label on the base of the windscreen or
on the sun visor.
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 tell-tale light
å;
– remote sensors.
Load limiter
Above 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.
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.

SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
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.
Operating faults
Warning light 1 will light up on the in -
strument panel when the ignition is
turned on and then go out after a few
seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or comes on when the
engine is running, there is a fault in the
system. In this case, a child seat MUST NOT be
fitted to the front passenger seat.
Allowing any other passenger to sit in
that seat is not recommended.
In these two cases, contact an ap
-
proved dealer as soon as possible.

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.
In a situation where an air bag is
required, it will inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor, su-
perficial grazing to the skin or other
problems.

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
