1.42
The air bag 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 se\
at belts
are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in\

the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superfi\
cial injuries
occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are\
always
possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-
tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Impacts to the undersi\
de of the
vehicle, eg. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these s\
ystems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air
bag system (air bags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except
by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
– 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 air bag 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).
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructe\
d in any
way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries\
caused
by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.
Operating faults
This warning light 1 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 come on when the ignition
is switched on, or if it comes on when
the engine is running, there is a fault
with the system (airbags, pretension-
ers, etc.) in the front and/or rear seats.
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES AND AIDS (2/3)
Electronic stability program
ESC with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
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
 flashes on the instrument panel. Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steer (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control
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.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal. Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK ESC” and
warning light
© appear on the in-
strument panel. In this case, the ESC
and traction control system are deacti-
vated.
Consult an approved dealer.

2.21
Temporary deactivation of
the system
(depending on vehicle)
Press switch 2 to deactivate the system:
The indicator light built into the switch
lights up to remind you that the system
is deactivated.
Pressing the switch again will react-
ivate the system and switch off the in-
dicator light.
The system is automatically reactivated
after the ignition is switched off and the
engine restarted.
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (2/2)
Operating faultsWhen the system detects an operating
fault there will be a 3-second contin-
uous beep as a warning. Please see an
authorised dealer.
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.

After carrying out any work
in the engine compart-
ment, check that nothing
has been left behind (cloth,
tools, etc.).
These may damage the engine or
cause a fire.
In the event of even a slight
impact involving the radia-
tor grille or bonnet, have
the bonnet lock checked by
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

Level 3
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the “ MINI” warning
line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s website.
Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Brake fluid level
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground.
