METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/3)
Airbag for driver and front
passenger
It is fitted to the front seats on the driv-
er’s side and, depending on the vehicle,
on the passenger’s side as well.
Depending on the vehicle, the pres-
ence of this equipment is indicated by
the word “airbag” on the steering wheel
and dashboard (airbag zone A) and
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.
Each airbag 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;
– a single indicator light
å on the
instrument panel;
– remote sensors.
A
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact
of the driver’s head and chest against
the steering wheel and of the front pas-
senger against the dashboard. The air
bags then deflate immediately so that
the passengers are not in any way hin-
dered from leaving the vehicle.
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.
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.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/3)
Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.
– Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone support, etc.)\
to the steering wheel boss.
– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel f\
rom our Network).
– Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: sit with your a\
rms slightly bent (see Section 1 “Adjusting your driv ing
position”). This will allow sufficient space for the airbag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone cradle\
, etc.) to the dashboard in the airbag zone.
– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (animal, \
umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as t\
here is a risk that serious injuries may be sustained .
As a general rule, keep all body parts (knees, hands, head, etc.) away\
from the dashboard.
– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be react\
ivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.
A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.
(Refer to the information on “Child safety: front passenger airbag d\
eactivation/activation” Section 1).
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.

CHILD SAFETY: deactivating/activating the front passenger airbag (2/3)
3
The markings on the dashboard and
labels A on each side of the passen-
ger sun visor 3 (for example, the labels
shown above) will remind you of these
instructions.
AA
DANGER
Since front passenger
airbag triggering and the
position of a rear-facing
child seat are incompatible, NEVER
use a restraining device for rear-
facing children on a seat with an
ACTIVATED AIRBAG in front of it.
This provides a risk of DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD.

WARNING LIGHTS (2/3)
The presence and operation of the warning lights DEPEND ON THE EQUIPMENT\
AND COUNTRY.
åAir bag warning light
This comes on when the igni-
tion is switched on and goes out after
a few seconds. If it does not come on
when the ignition is switched on or if it
flashes, there is a fault in the system.
Contact an approved Dealer as soon as
possible.
LLow fuel level or additional
heating warning light
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds. If it comes on while driving,
accompanied by a beep, this means
the imminent end of fuel power for the
additional heating.
™Seat belt reminder light
Depending on the vehicle, it is
displayed on the instrument panel or on
the central display of the dashboard. It
remains on when the engine is started
if your seat belt is not fastened. A beep
sounds at a low volume for 30 seconds,
then at a high volume for 90 seconds.
DBrake circuit fault warning
light
If it comes on during braking and is ac-
companied by the
® warning light
and a beep, it indicates that the fluid
level in the circuit is low or that there is
a braking system fault. Stop as soon as
traffic conditions allow and contact an
approved Dealer.
© Warning light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out as soon as
the engine is started. It can light up in
conjunction with other warning lights
and/or messages on the instrument
panel.
It means you should drive very care-
fully to an approved dealer as soon as
possible. If you fail to follow this recom-
mendation, you risk damaging your ve-
hicle.
Ð ÏCruise control and
speed limiter indica-
tor lights
Refer to the information on the “Speed
limiter” and “Cruise control” in Section
2.
® STOP light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out as soon as
the engine is started. It comes on with
other warning lights and/or messages.
It requires you to stop immediately, for
your own safety, as soon as traffic con-
ditions allow. Switch off the engine and
do not restart it.
Contact an approved Dealer.

iThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents,
the side windows and the passenger
footwells.
This is the recommended position for
the best temperature in cold weather.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed to all air
vents and the footwells.
This is the recommended position for
the best temperature in hot weather.
JThe air flow is directed mainly
to the dashboard vents.
Rapid demisting
Turn the controls to the positions W:
– air from the outside;
– maximum temperature;
– demisting.
Using the climate control increases the
speed of demisting.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control 2 to obtain the desired
temperature. The further the pointer is
away from the heating stop position,
the higher the temperature will be.
If the outdoor temperature is too high,
the heating decreases automatically.
This limits energy consumption and
maintains the range of the vehicle.
HEATING, AIR-CONDITIONING (2/3)
When the air conditioning system is
used for long periods, it may begin to
feel cold. To increase the temperature,
turn control 2 to the right.
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Turn control 4 to position the pointer op-
posite the marked positions.
WThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents
and the side windows. This position
prevents the formation of condensa-
tion.

When turning corners,
accelerating or braking,
ensure that the recepta-
cle being held by the cup
holder is not dislodged.
There is a risk of burning if hot liquid
escapes.

4.12
You are strongly recom-
mended not to use high-
pressure or spray cleaning
equipment inside the pas-
senger compartment: use of such
equipment could impair the correct
functioning of the electrical or elec-
tronic components in the vehicle, or
have other detrimental effects.
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (2/2)
You should not:
You are strongly advised not to po-
sition objects such as deodorants,
scents, etc. near air vents, as this could
damage your dashboard trim.
Removal/replacing removable
equipment originally fitted in
the vehicle
If you need to remove equipment in
order to clean the passenger com-
partment (for example, mats), always
ensure that they are correctly refitted
and are the right way around (the driv-
er’s mat should be fitted on the driver’s
side, etc.) and fit them with the compo-
nents supplied with the equipment (for
example, the driver mat should always
be fixed using the pre-fitted mounting
components).
With the vehicle stationary, ensure that
nothing will impede driving (anything
obstructing the pedals, heel wedged by
the mat, etc.).

5.5
TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/3)
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation adapter 1 to prevent any repair
product from escaping and store the
container in plastic packaging to pre-
vent the product from escaping.
– Affix the driving recommendation label to the dashboard where it can
easily be seen by the driver;
– Put the kit away.
– At the end of this initial inflation op- eration, air will still escape from the
tyre. You must drive a short distance
in order to seal the hole.
– Start immediately and drive at be- tween 12 and 40 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and
check the pressure.
– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recommended
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver’s door), read-
just it. Otherwise, please contact an
authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be
repaired. Precautions when using the kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.
1
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and may
lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
inflation kit may need to be replaced.
