load limiter
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.
Air bags for driver and front
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
Depending on the vehicle, the pres -
ence of this equipment is indicated
by the word “Airbag” on the steering
wheel, dashboard (air bag zone A) and
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;
– remote sensors;
– a single warning light
å on the
instrument panel.
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.

emissions
Your vehicle has been designed to
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)
while in use, and therefore to consume
less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to
5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a
particle filter system including a cata -
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and
an active carbon filter (the latter pre -
vents vapour from the fuel tank being
released into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.
Please make your own
contribution towards
protecting the environment
too
– Worn parts replaced in the course of
routine vehicle maintenance (vehi -
cle battery, oil filter, air filter, batter -
ies, etc.) and oil containers (empty or
filled with used oil) must be disposed
of through specialist organisations. –
At the end of the vehicle’s service
life, it should be sent to approved
centres to ensure that it is recycled.
– In all cases, comply with local legis -
lation.
recycling
Your vehicle is 85% recyclable and
95% recoverable.
To achieve these objectives, many of
the vehicle components have been de-
signed to enable them to be recycled.
The materials and structures have
been carefully designed to allow these
components to be easily removed and
reprocessed by specialist companies.
In order to preserve raw material re -
sources, this vehicle incorporates nu -
merous parts made from recycled plas-
tics or renewable materials (vegetable
or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with
respect for the
environment in mind for
its entire service life: during production,
use and at the end of its life.
This commitment is illustrated by the of
the manufacturer eco² signature.Manufacture
Your vehicle has been manufactured at
a factory which complies with a policy
to reduce the environmental impact
on the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and energy consumption, visual
and noise pollution, atmospheric emis-
sions and waste water; sorting and re-
using waste).

electronic stability program
eSP with understeer control
and traction control ASr
electronic stability program eSP
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi -
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
ù flashes on the instrument panel. Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESP in the case of pronounced unders-
teering (loss of front axle road holding).
t
raction control ASr
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au -
tomatically until the drive supplied be -
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again. Operating faults
When the system detects an operat
-
ing fault the message “Check ESP” and
warning light
© appear on the in-
strument panel. In this case, the ESP
and ASR are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

Parking sensor
Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors fitted in the vehi -
cle’s rear bumper measure the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle
whilst reversing.
When reversing, most objects located
less than approximately 1.5 metres
away from the rear of the vehicle are
detected and a beep is emitted.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 25 centi -
metres from the obstacle.
PArking DiSt Ance cOntrOl (1/2)
Automatic activation/deactivation of
the rear parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the handbrake is engaged;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-
proximately 4 mph (7 km/h);
– when the vehicle is stationary for
more than approximately five sec -
onds and an obstacle is detected
(such as when in a traffic jam etc.);
– when you are in positions n and P.
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil -
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always
ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bi-
cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.
In the event an impact to
the underside of the vehicle
(e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furni -
ture) this may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the
electrical circuit or the traction bat -
tery.
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved dealer.

When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 4 mph
(7 km/h), certain noises (motorcy -
