HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
Automatic lighting of hazard
warning lights *
When braking in an emergency,
depending on the deceleration, the
hazard warning lights come on auto-
matically. They switch off automatically
the fi rst time you accelerate.
It is also possible to switch them off by
pressing the button.
* According to country.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESP)
This system is linked and complemen-
tary to the ABS system.
In the event of a signifi cant variation
between the trajectory of the vehicle
and the path required by the driver,
the ESP monitors wheel by wheel and
acts automatically on the engine and
on the brake of one or more wheels, to
put the vehicle back on course, within
the limit of the laws of physics.

SEAT BELTS
Detection of fastening of the front
seat belts

When the ignition is switched on ,
if a front passenger has not fastened
his seat belt and if the vehicle speed
is below 13 mph (20 km/h) , you are
warned by lighting of the seat belt
warning light .
The warning light switches off when the
seat belt(s) concerned is(are) fastened.
If the vehicle speed is above 13 mph
(20 km/h) , you are warned by fl ash-
ing of the seat belt warning light , an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction display locating the un-
fastened seat belt(s).
Front seat belts with
pre-tensioner and force
limiter
In the event of a serious front
impact, the pre-tensioning system in-
stantly tightens the seat belts fi rmly
against the bodies of the occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt against the chest of
the occupant, so increasing his pro-
tection.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are all fi tted with a
three-point inertia reel seat belt.
The rear side seat belts have a force
limiter and may be fi tted with a pre-
tensioning inertia reel.

To fasten the seat belts

 Pull the strap, then insert the
tongue into the buckle.

 Check that the seat belt is secured
correctly by pulling the strap.

To unfasten the seat belts


Press the red button on the buckle. Before folding the seat back, pull the
strap and insert the seat belt tongue
into the buckle. This precaution will
ensure that each seat belt is in place
when the rear seats are lifted again.

Note: a bag or an animal
placed on the front passenger
seat may trigger the lighting of
the warning light.
The audible signal ceases and the
warning light switches off when the
seat belt concerned is fastened.
After two minutes without any action
on the seat belts, the fl ashing warning
light remains on permanently and the
audible signal ceases. All of the warn-
ings cease when a door is opened or
when the engine is switched off.
Front seat belt height adjustment:

 To lower the attachment point,
squeeze control 1 and slide it
downwards.

 To raise the attachment point, slide
control 1 upwards.

AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger) in the event of violent col-
lisions. They supplement the action of
the force-limiting seat belts.
In this case, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side
impacts suffered in the impact detec-
tion zones:
- in the event of a serious impact, the air bags are deployed instanta-
neously and protect the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception
of the rear centre passenger); im-
mediately after the impact, the air
bags defl ate rapidly so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the oc-
cupants or their possible exit from
the vehicle,
- in the event of a minor impact or rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the air bags will not be
deployed; the seat belt alone is
suffi cient to provide maximum pro-
tection in these situations. Front air bags
The front air bags protect the driver
and front passenger in the event of a
serious front impact in order to limit the
risks of injury to the head and chest.
They are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger.
Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.
The deployment of one or
more air bags is accompanied
by a slight discharge of harm-
less smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensi-
tive individuals may experience some
irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result
in a slight loss of hearing for a short
time. Activation
They are deployed simultaneously, ex-
cept in cases where the passenger's
front air bag is disarmed, in the event
of a serious front impact applied to all
or part of the front impact zone
A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehi-
cle on a horizontal plane directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front air bag infl ates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
fascia to cushion his forward move-
ment.
The air bags do not operate
when the ignition is off.
This equipment only operates
once. If a second impact oc-
curs (during the same or a subsequent
accident), the air bag will not operate.

Disarming the front
passenger’s front air bag * Reactivation
As soon as the child seat is removed,
turn the air bag slot to the
"ON" posi-
tion to re-activate the air bag and thus
ensure its safety function.

To ensure the safety of your child, it
is essential to disarm the passenger
air bag when you install a rear-fac-
ing child seat on the front passenger
seat. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the
air bag were to infl ate.

 With the ignition switched off ,
insert the key into the passenger
air bag disarming switch, turn it to
the "OFF" position, then remove
the key keeping the slot in this po-
sition. The steering column air bag protects
the driver’s knees in the event of a se-
rious front impact.
It is incorporated in the fascia below
the steering column.

 with the handbrake on, select posi-
tion P or N in the gate,

 turn the ignition key. When the engine is at idle,
brakes not applied, if position

R , D or M is selected, the ve-
hicle moves even without the
accelerator being pressed.

Do not leave children unsupervised
inside the vehicle, with position R, D
or M selected, with the engine run-
ning, as the vehicle moves even with-
out the accelerator being pressed.
With the ignition off, if the lever
is not in position P , an audible
signal is heard when the dri-
ver's door is opened, or after
approximately 45 seconds. Move the
lever to position P . The audible signal
ceases.
When maintenance operations need
to be carried out with the engine run-
ning, apply the handbrake and select
