when the engine is started. If the driv-
er’s or front passenger’s seat belt (if
this seat is occupied) is not fastened
and the vehicle has reached approxi-
mately 12.4 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
light in some cases.
Rear seat belt reminder
The warning light
ß lights up on
the central display accompanied, de-
pending on the vehicle, by a message
indicating the number of seat belts
buckled (for approximately 30 seconds)
or the graphic 6.
In all cases, these messages appear
with each:
– starting the vehicle;
– opening a door;
– fastening or unfastening of a rear seat belt (for this case, the informa-
tion is accompanied by a beep last-
ing approximately 30 seconds). Check that the rear passengers are
wearing seat belts and that the number
of seat belts shown as fastened cor-
responds to the number of rear seat
places occupied.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
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.
driver and passenger front
Airbags
Fitted to the driver and passenger
sides.
The presence of this equipment is indi-
cated by the word “airbag" on the steer-
ing wheel, dashboard (in the area of the
airbag A) and, depending on the vehi-
cle, a label on the lower section of the
windscreen.
Each airbag system consists of:
– an airbag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver and
in the dashboard for the 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 airbag system uses py-
rotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the
airbag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a banging noise. In a situ-
ation where an airbag is required, it
will inflate immediately and this may
cause some minor, superficial graz-
ing to the skin or other problems.

1.32
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the airbags
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.
Operating faults
å This warning light comes on
when the engine is started and then
goes out after approximately three sec-
onds.
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.

1.33
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)
Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag
– 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 holder, 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 the information on “Adjusting your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and to be fully effe ctive.
Warnings concerning the passenger airbag
– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder\
, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the airbag.
– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umb\
rella, 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 .
In general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (k\
nees, hands, head, etc.)
– 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: deactivating/activating \
the front passenger airbag" in Section 1)
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.

can cause the CHILD’S DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY.

tion off , push and turn lock 1 to the ON
