If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you are
driving, remember that it
may be more difficult for the
emergency services to gain access
to the passenger compartment in
the event of an emergency.

Additional methods of restraint:
to the front seat belts
mETHOds Of REsTRAINT IN AddITION TO THE fRONT sEAT BELTs (1/4)
Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:
– seat belt inertia reel pretension -
ers;
– lap belt pretensioners;
– chest-level load limiters;
– anti-submarining air bags;
– air bags for driver and front pas -
senger.
These systems are designed to act in-
dependently or together when the vehi-
cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner
(which engages to correct seat belt
slack);
– the low volume front air bag;
– the lap seat belt pretensioners to
hold the occupant in his seat;
– the large volume front air bag.
pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in-
creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
In the event of a severe frontal impact
and if the ignition is switched on, the
system may engage the following de -
pending on the force of the impact:
– seat belt inertia reel pretensioner 1
which instantly retracts the seat belt;
– the lap pretensioner 2 on the front
seats.
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatso -
ever is permitted on any part of
the system (pretensioners, air
bags, computers, wiring) and the
system components must not
be reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.
– To avoid incorrect triggering of
the system which may cause
injury, only qualified personnel
from an approved dealer may
work on the pretensioner and air
bag system.
– The electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact an approved dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
air bag gas generators.

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 air bags
inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact
of the driver’s head and chest against
the steering wheel and 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.
special feature of the front air
bag
After a violent impact, it has two deploy -
ment volumes and integrates a ventila -
tion system:
– small volume air bag, this is the first
stage of operation;
– large volume air bag, the air bag
seams rip so that a larger volume of
gas is released into the bag (for the
most severe impacts).

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 seat 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 superficial 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. Shocks to the underbody of the
vehicle, 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, 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 accidental 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 of 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 ignition
is switched on, or if it comes on when
the engine is running, there is a fault
with the system (air bags, 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.

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.
