ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
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.
The air bags are not always triggered if the vehicle should overturn or \
in the event
of a rear impact, however severe. Impacts to the underside of the vehicl\
e, e.g.
from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air
bag system (air bags, arches, 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 air bag system checked if your vehicle \
has 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 driver’s handbook with the vehicle.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal o\
f the gas generator(s).
Operating faults
Warning light 1 will light up on the in-
strument panel when the ignition is
switched on and then go out after a few
seconds.
If it does not come on when the igni-
tion is switched on, or if it comes on
when the engine is running, there is a
fault with the system (air bags, preten-
sioners in the front and/or rear seats,
arches, etc.).
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.
1
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag 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 the air bag inflates.

1.30
PROTECTION DEVICES IF THE VEHICLE OVERTURNS
Do not place any objects, or
sit on the arches 1 located
behind the headrests or on
shelf 2 located behind the
arches.
1
Automatic safety bars
The system comprises:
– a sensor that detects when the vehi- cle is overturning;
– two deploying arches 1.
If the vehicle overturns, the arches
deploy to increase the size of the safe
area underneath the vehicle.
Operating faults
Warning light 3 will light up on the in-
strument panel when the ignition is
switched on and then go out after a few
seconds.
If it does not come on when the igni-
tion is switched on, or comes on when
the engine is running, there is a fault in
the system.
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

1.31
CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use an approved child seat and ensure
you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph
(50 km/h) is the same as fall-
ing a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without
a restraint is the equivalent of allow-
ing him or her to play on a fourth-
floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved
in a road accident, replace the
child seat and have the seat belts
checked.
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.

INJURY.

Trip mileage resetting
With “trip mileage recorder” selected on
the display, press button 2 or 3 until the
mileage recorder resets to zero.

values displayed after
resetting
The values showing average fuel con-
sumption, range and average speed
will become more stable and reliable
the further you travel after pressing the

– the engine reaches its operating
temperature (if the engine was cold
when the reset key was pressed);
