SEAT BELTS (4/4)
– No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their mountings) fitted originally. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats) contact an approve\
d Dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too
loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around
them.
– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as
they show any signs of wear.
– When putting back the rear bench seat, make sure the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used prop
- erly.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly se
- cured.
The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

– Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident.
– No operation whatso
- ever is permitted on any part of the system (pretensioners, air bags, computers, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if identical.
– To avoid incorrect triggering of
the system which may cause injury, only qualified personnel from an approved Dealer may work on the pretensioner and air bag system.
– 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 air bag gas generators.
Depending on the vehicle, they are composed of:
– seat belt inertia reel pretension- ers;
– lap belt pretensioners;
– chest-level load limiters;
– anti-submarining air bags;
– 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.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner
(which engages to correct seat belt slack);
– the front air bag;
– the lap seat belt pretensioners to
hold the occupant in his seat.
Pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt against the body, holding the occupant more securely against the seat, thus in- creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
In the event of a severe frontal impact and if the ignition is switched on, the system may engage the following de- pending on the force of the impact:
– seat belt inertia reel pretensioner
1 which instantly retracts the seat belt;
– lap belt pretensioner
2 on the front
seats or anti-submarining air bag 3.

Chest-level and lap belt load
limiters
Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.
Anti-submarining air bag
Located on each of the front seats, it deploys in order to prevent the occu- pant from sliding under the seat belt.
Air bag for driver and front
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in- dicated by the word “Air bag” on the steering wheel and dashboard (air bag
zone A) and, depending on the vehicle, a symbol on the lower section of the windscreen.
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 single
å warning light on the instrument panel.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
A
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. 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.

Operating faults
Warning light 4 å will light up on the instrument 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.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible. Your protection will be re- duced until this fault is rectified.
4
Operation
This system is only operational when the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver’s head and chest against the steering wheel and of the front pas- senger against the dashboard. The air bags then deflate immediately so that the passengers are not in any way hin- dered from leaving the vehicle.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT 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 injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when\
it 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.
– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified 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 deploy correctly and be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, 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, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knee\
s, hands, head, etc.).
– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure
the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.
A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.
(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating \
the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)
Warnings concerning the anti-submarining air bagDo not let a child under the age of 12 sit in this seat. When triggered, the anti-submarining air bag may project objects left on the seat base with a great deal of force.Risk of serious injury.

Side Airbags
This airbag may be fitted to each of the front seats and is activated at the sides of the seats (door side) to protect the occupants in the event of a severe side impact.
Curtain Airbags
This airbag may be fitted along the top of each side of the vehicle and is trig- gered along the front and rear side win- dows to protect the passengers in the event of a severe side impact.
side
A marking on the windscreen and on the trim near the rear screen re- minds you of the presence of addi- tional methods of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in the passen- ger compartment.
SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Warning relating to the side airbag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers spe- cifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those de- signed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.
– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the
door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal
fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
– This airbag operates through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never
insert any objects in these slits.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag 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\
it inflates.
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the occu- pants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor super- ficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such min\
or injuries are always possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are not always triggered. Impacts to the underside of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements,\
potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.
– No work or modification
whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the airbag system (airbags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified Network personnel.
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury,
only qualified Network personnel may work on the airbag system.
– As a safety precaution, have the airbag 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 handbook with the vehicle.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
