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.
Airbags driver and passenger
front
Fitted to the driver and passenger
sides.
An “Airbag” marking on the steer-
ing wheel and the dashboard (airbag
area A) indicates that this device is
fitted.
Each air bag 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 monito- ring which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– a single
å warning light on the
instrument panel.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
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.
A
The passenger airbag only
protects the front side pas-
senger; the front centre
passenger is only protected
by the seat belt. Please follow the
usual safety instructions (wearing
the seat belt).
Risk of injury in the event of an
accident.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operating faults
Warning light 4 å will light up on
the instrument panel when the ignition
is turned on and then go out after a few
seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition
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.

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.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)
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 holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel f\
rom our Network).
– When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your \
arms 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 be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder\
, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
– 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 occur. In general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knee\
s, 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 air bag” in 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 air bag (1/3)
Deactivating the front
passenger airbags
(on equipped vehicles)
Before fitting a child seat on the front
passenger seat you must deactivate
the passenger airbag.To deactivate the
airbags: with the
vehicle stopped and the ignition off ,
push and turn lock 1 to the OFF posi-
tion.
With the ignition on, you must check
that the warning light
] on the dis-
play 2 is lit up and, depending on the
vehicle, that the message “airbag pas-
senger deactivated” is displayed.
This light remains permanently lit to
let you know that you can fit a child
seat.
2
The passenger airbag must
only be deactivated or acti-
vated when the vehicle is
stationary.
If it is interfered with when the ve-
hicle is being driven, indicator lights
å and © will come on.
Switch the ignition off then on again
to reset the airbag in accordance
with the lock position.
DANGER
Since operation of the front
passenger airbag is not
compatible with the po-
sition of a rear-facing child seat,
NEVER fit a rear-facing child re-
straint system in a seat protected
by an ACTIVATED front AIRBAG. This can lead to the DEATH of the
CHILD or SERIOUS INJURY.
