Methods of restraint in addition to the front seat belts
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS
These are:
– pretensioners
,
– force limiter,
– air bags for driver and front pas
- senger.
These systems are designed to act independently or together when the vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact.
There are three possibilities, depending on the level of impact force:
– protection is provided by the seat
belt only;
– the pretensioner is triggered to rec
- tify belt position and take up seat belt slack;
– the air bag and the force limiter are
also triggered when there are severe impacts.
– 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 p e r s o n n e l a r e a u t h o r i s e d to work on the methods of restraint in addition 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.
Pretensioners
with the ignition on, in the event of a serious frontal impact, piston instantly retracts the seat belt buckle, pulling the seat belt against the body and thereby increasing its efficiency.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (continued)
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,
– a computer for both systems, which
includes the impact sensor and a monitor controlling the electrical trig- ger system for the gas generator;
– a single warning light
å on the instrument panel.
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.

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 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 air- bags.
The air bags are not always triggered if the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe. Impacts from underneath the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, ca\
n 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.

Conseils antipollution, économies de carburant
The manufacturer is acively striving to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emissions and to save energy.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your vehicle conforms to current antipollu- tion regulations. Technical design, how- ever, cannot achieve all. The fuel con- sumption of your vehicle and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are very much within your control. Make sure that your vehicle is maintained correctly, and is driven carefully.
Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to respect antipollution regulations may lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel supply system and exhaust components with parts other than those originally recommended by the manu- facturer may alter your vehicle so that it no longer complies with antipollution regulations.
Have your vehicle checked and ad- justed by your approved dealer in ac- cordance with the instructions in your Maintenance Service Booklet.
Your approved dealer has all the equipment necessary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– ignition: this does not require ad- justment.
– spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ- omy, efficiency and performance the specifications laid down by our Design Department must be strictly applied.
If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an approved Dealer as soon as possi- ble.
–
idle speed: this does not require ad- justment.
–
air filter, diesel filter: a choked el- ement hinders performance. It must be replaced.

– 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.
– 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.
– Bad weather, flooded roads.
Do not drive through floods if the water is above the lower edge of the wheel
rims.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub- stances may be released into the at- mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in- strument panel will indicate if there are any faults in the system:
T h i s c o m e s o n w h e n t h e i g n i- tion is switched on and goes out after three seconds.
– if it lights up continuously, consult
your approved dealer as soon as possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible.
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.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.

Engine oil change: if you are changing the oil when the engine is hot, be careful not to scald yourself if the oil overflows.
Never run the engine in an enclosed space as exhaust gases are poisonous.
The engine may be hot during operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan may come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.
