in addition to the front passenger seat
belt before fitting a child seat in the front
passenger seat. To deactivate the air bags: with the

This light remains permanently lit to
let you know that you can fit a child
seat.

Since operation of the front
passenger air bag is not
compatible with the position
of a rear-facing child seat, NEVER
fit a rear-facing child seat on a front
passenger seat with an active front
air bag. The child may suffer very
serious injuries if the air bag is trig-
gered.
The markings on the dashboard and
labels A on each side of passenger sun

Operating faults
It is forbidden to fit a rear-facing child
seat to the front passenger seat if the
air bag activation/deactivation system
is faulty.
Allowing any other passenger to sit in
that seat is not recommended.
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible.
Activating the front
passenger air bags
You should reactivate the air bag as
soon as you remove the child seat from
the front passenger seat to ensure the
protection of the front passenger in the
event of an impact.
To reactivate the air bags: when the
vehicle is stationary, push and turn
lock 1 to the ON position.
With the ignition on, you must check
that the
¹ warning light 2, is off.

power-assisted steering
The variable power-assisted steering
system is equipped with an electronic
control system which alters the level of
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).

Height and, depending on the vehicle,
depth adjustment.
Pull lever 1 and move the steering
wheel to the required position.
Then, push the lever back fully, beyond
the point of resistance to lock the steer-
ing wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only
adjust the steering wheel
when the vehicle is station-
ary.

Never switch off the igni -
tion when travelling down -
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Do not drive with a low battery
charge. The steering wheel may not
operate correctly.
With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.
A noise may be heard when the
steering wheel is moved quickly.
This is normal.
