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.
special feature of the front air
bag
There are two volumes of operation de-
pending on the severity of the impact:
– low volume air bag, this is the first
stage of operation;
– large volume air bag, the air bag
seams rip so that a larger volume of
gas is released into the bag (for the
most severe impacts).

Operating faults
åThis warning light will light up
on the instrument panel when
the ignition is switched 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.

Puncture
Emergency spare wheel
Puncture/eMerGencY SPAre WHeeL (1/2)
In the event of a puncture,
depending on the vehicle,
you will have:
An emergency spare wheel or tyre in -
flation kit (refer to the information on the
following pages).
If you have an emergency spare wheel,
you need to use tool A comprising
ratchet spanner 2 and end-piece 1.
nB: using other tools could damage the
mechanism)
These components are stored in the
tool kit in the luggage compartment
(refer to the information on the “Took
kit” in Section 5). Ensure that the end piece 1 is securely
attached to the ratchet spanner
2.
The ratchet spanner has one direction
for tightening and another for loosen -
ing. Reverse the direction of the oper -
ation when moving from loosening to
tightening and vice versa.
emergency spare wheel B
It is located under the vehicle.
– In the luggage compartment, lift
cover 3;
– remove the blanking cover;
– use tool A and turn it until the wheel
retaining cable unwinds and the
wheel drops to the ground; –
stand the wheel up outside the vehi-
cle;
– press on lock 4 and turn it a quarter
of a turn
– run the retaining cable across the
wheel rim and release the wheel;
– depending on the vehicle, take out
the shim from inside the wheel rim.
n ote: depending on the vehicle, the
shim on the top of the emergency spare
wheel should only be repositioned with
this emergency spare wheel; it should
not be used with the punctured wheel.

tYre InFLA tIOn KIt (continued)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, use the tyre inflation kit.– Retrieve compressor 4 and bottle 1
from rear storage compartment C (in
vehicles with a normal chassis) or D
(in vehicles with a long chassis);
– unroll inflation hose 8 and lead 9 lo-
cated under the compressor and in-
flation hose 10 . Attach the bottle to
its mounting 3 and screw inflation
hose 8 onto end piece 2.With the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
–
unscrew the valve cap of the wheel
concerned and screw the inflation
hose 10 onto the valve;
– connect end piece 9 to one of the ve-
hicle’s accessories sockets (refer to
the information on the “Accessories
socket” in Section 3) then press
switch 7 to inflate the tyre to the rec-
ommended pressure (refer to the
label located on the edge of the driv-
er’s door);
– After a maximum of 5 minutes, stop
inflating and read the pressure on
pressure gauge 6 . To adjust the
pressure if necessary: continue in -
flating to increase the pressure or
press button 5 to decrease it.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.

tYreS (2/3)
t yre pressures
Tyre pressures must be adhered to (in-
cluding the emergency spare wheel).
Pressures must be checked at least
once a month and always before a long
journey (refer to the label affixed to the
edge of the driver’s door).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding;
– the risk of blow-outs or of throw-
ing a tread.
Tyre pressures depend on the load
and the driving speed. Adjust the
pressures according to the condi -
tions of use (refer to the label affixed
to the edge of the driver’s door).
Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the normal
pressures must be increased by 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
never deflate a hot tyre.
n ote: depending on the vehicle, the
tyre pressures are indicated on a label
affixed to the edge of the driver’s door.
changing wheels around
This practice is not recommended.
Each of the sensors incor -
porated in the valves is
dedicated to a single wheel:
under no circumstances
should you swap the wheels.
There is a risk of incorrect informa-
tion which could have serious con -
sequences.
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss -
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
