and, depending on the vehi-
cle, front passenger seat belt re-
minder
This lights up on the central display 
when starting the engine then, if the 
driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt 
(if this seat is occupied) is not fastened 
and the vehicle has reached approxi-
mately 12 mph (20 km/h), it flashes and 
a bleep sounds for around 120 sec-
onds.
Note: an object placed on the passen-
ger seat base may activate the warning

Warning light 
ß lights up on the 
central display, accompanied by the 
graphic  6 on the instrument panel for 
approximately 30 seconds each time 
the vehicle is started, a door is opened 
or a rear seat belt is fastened or unfas-
tened. Check that the rear passengers are 
wearing seat belts and that the number

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both t\
he 
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 occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the eve\
nt 
of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injur\
ies occurring 
when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always pos\
sible 
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 u\
nderside 
of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger\
 these sys-
tems.
–  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 accidenta\
l trig- gering 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 h\
as  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 o\
f the  gas generator(s).
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.Operating faults
å  This warning light comes on 
when the engine is started and then 
goes out after approximately three se-
conds.
If it does not come on when the ignition 
is switched on or if it stays on, there is a 
fault in the system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon 
as possible.
Your protection will be reduced until this 
fault is rectified.

2.13
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with injection 
equipment which prevents the engine 
speed being exceeded irrespective of 
the gear selected.
If the message “Check antipollution 
system” is displayed along with warn-
ing lights 
Ä and ©, consult an 
authorised dealer immediately. 
When driving, depending on the fuel 
grade used, it is possible that white 
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter 
being cleaned automatically, and does 
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the  tank has been completely 
drained, the system must be reprimed 
after the tank is refilled: see information 
on the “fuel tank” in section 1 before re-
starting the engine.
Do not park the vehicle or 
run the engine in locations 
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such 
as grass or leaves can come into 
contact with the hot exhaust system.
Precautions to be taken in 
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
–  ensure that the battery is always fully  charged,
–  always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the 
bottom of the tank.
