Engine immobiliser
ENGINE IMMOBILISER
This prevents the vehicle being
driven by anyone not in possession
of the vehicle’s coded ignition key.
Operating principle
The vehicle is automatically protected
a few seconds after the ignition is
switched off.
If the vehicle does not recognise the
coded ignition key, tell-tale light
1

will
flash continuously and the engine
cannot be started.
Any unauthorised work
carried out on the engine
immobiliser (computers,
wiring, etc.) could be dan-
gerous. Work must be carried out
by qualified personnel.
System operation
When the ignition is switched on, tell-
tale
1 lights up continuously for approx-
imately three seconds and then goes
out. The vehicle has recognised the
code. You can then start the engine.
Vehicle protection
A few seconds after the ignition has
been switched off, tell-tale light
1

will
flash constantly.
The vehicle will only be protected after
the ignition has been switched off. Operating faults
After the ignition has been switched
on, if warning light
1 continues to flash
or remains continuously lit, there is a
system operating fault.
In all cases, it is essential to contact
an approved dealer as only they are
qualified to repair the engine immobi-
liser.
If the coded ignition key is faulty,
use the second key (supplied with
the vehicle).

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.
–

N
o 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.
–

T

o 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.
–

T

he electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
–

W

hen 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 (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:
–

a
n 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.

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.
–

Y

ou must not remove the steering wheel (such work must only be performed
by trained personnel from our Network).
–

W

hen 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

–


Do

not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to
the dashboard in the proximity of the air bag housing.
–

D

o 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.).
–

Y

ou 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

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
–

F
itting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved dealer to find
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 seatback,
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.

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.
–

T

o 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 p
oints and hand over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle.
–

When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer fo
r 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.

CHILD SAFETY: mounting a child seat (1/2)
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to
ensure that it is effective in the event of
harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated
by the child seat manufacturer are re-
spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor-
rectly fastened by pulling it up, then
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the
child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by
moving it from side to side and back
to front: the seat should remain firmly
fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been
installed at an angle and that it is not
resting against a window. Attachment with the ISOFIX system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-
proved in accordance with regulation
ECE-R44 in one of the three following
scenarios:
–

ISOFI
X universal 3 point forwardfac-
ing seat;
–

ISOFI
X semi-universal 2 point seat;
–

specific.
For

the latter two, check that your child
seat can be installed by consulting the
list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX
locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX
system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system is composed of
2
rings for each rear side seat.
Before using an ISOFIX
child seat that you pur-
chased for another vehicle,
check that its installation is
authorised. Consult the list of ve-
hicles which can be fitted with the
seat with the equipment manufac-
turer.
No modifications may be
made to the component
parts of the restraint system
(belts, ISOFIX and seats
and their mountings) originally fitted.
The seat belt must never
be twisted or the tension
relieved. Never pass the
shoulder strap under the
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate nor-
mally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved dealer. Do not
use this seat until the seat belt has
been repaired.
Do not use the child seat
if it may unfasten the seat
belt restraining it: the base
of the seat must not rest on
the buckle and/or catch of the seat
belt.

CHILD SAFETY: Fitting a child seat (1/6)
In the front seat
The laws concerning children travel-
ling in the front passenger seat differ in
every country. Consult the legislation in
force and follow the indications on the
diagram on the following page.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if
authorised):
–

d
eactivate the front passenger air
bag;
–

lower
the seat belt as far as possible;
–

move
the seat as far back as possi-
ble;
–

g
ently tilt the seatback away from
vertical (approximately 25°).
Do not change these settings after the
child seat is installed.
R I S K O F D E AT H O R
SERIOUS INJURY: before
fitting a child seat in this
seat, check that the air bag
has been deactivated (refer to the in-
formation on “Deactivating the front
passenger air bag” in Section
1).
Some seats are not suitable for fitting
child seats. The diagram on the follow-
ing page shows you how to attach a
child seat.
The types of child seats indicated may
not be available. Before using a differ-
ent child seat, check with the manufac-
turer that it can be fitted.
Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.
Check that when installing
the child seat in the vehicle
it is not at risk of coming loose from
its base.
If you have to remove the headrest,
check that it is correctly stored so
that it does not come loose under
harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the
vehicle even if it is not in use so that
it does not come loose under harsh
braking or impact.
