Seat belts
sEAT BELTs (1/2)
Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par -
ticular country you are in.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belt to ensure op-
timum protection.Adjusting your driving
position
– s it well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly.
– Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals.
Your seat should be as far back as
possible while still allowing you to
depress the clutch pedal fully. The
seatback should be adjusted so that
your arms are slightly bent when you
hold the steering wheel.
– Adjust the position of your head-
rest.
For safety reasons, the top of the
headrest must be level with the top
of the head.
– Adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
Shoulder strap 1 must be as close as
possible to the base of the neck.
Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis.
The seat belt should be worn so that
it is as close as possible to your body,
i.e.: avoid wearing heavy clothing or
keeping bulky objects under the belts,
etc.
Make sure that the rear bench seat
is locked in position correctly so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi -
ciently. Refer to the information on
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in
Section 3.
Seat belts which are incor -
rectly adjusted or twisted
may cause injuries in the
event of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.

Locking
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 3 locks into
catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull -
ing on buckle 3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again. If your seat belt becomes completely
jammed:
–
pull the belt slowly but firmly so that
just over 3 cm unwinds;
– then allow the seat belt to rewind au-
tomatically;
– unwind it again;
– if there is still a problem, contact an
approved Dealer.

2 minutes.
Note: an object placed on the passen-
ger seat base may activate the warning
light in some cases.

sEAT BELTs
The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: belts, seats and their
mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), please c\
ontact an authorised dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too
loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around
them.
– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as
they show any signs of wear.
– When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used prop-
erly.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly se-
cured.
– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob-
jects).

Restraint systems in addition to the seat belts
METhODs OF REsTRAINT IN ADDITION TO ThE FRONT sEAT BELTs (1/4)
These are:
– pretensioners;
– force limiters;
– air bags for driver and front pas -
senger;
– side air bags (depending on vehi-
cle).
These systems are designed to operate
independently or together in the event
of a front, side or rear impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking;
– the buckle pretensioner (which en -
gages to correct seat belt slack);
– the air bags.
pretensioners
With the ignition switched on, if the ve-
hicle is subjected to a significant fron -
tal impact the system may, depending
on the severity of the impact, trigger
piston 1 which instantly retracts the
belt.
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.
– 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.

Force 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.
Air bags for driver and front
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in -
dicated by the word “Air bag” on the
steering wheel and the dashboard (air
bag zone A ) and a label on the lower
part of the windscreen or on the sun
visor.
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;
– a shared computer, which includes
the impact detector and the moni -
tor controlling the electrical trigger
system for each of the gas genera -
tors;
– depending on the vehicle, an addi -
tional side impact detector;
– a single
å warning light on the
instrument panel.
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.

Operation
The air bag system is only operational
when the ignition is switched on.
If a severe frontal impact occurs, the
air bag(s) deploy(s) rapidly, cushion -
ing the impact of the driver’s head and
chest against the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s head against the
dashboard. The air bag then deflates
immediately so that passengers are not
impeded in any way when they get out
of the vehicle.
Operating faults
This warning light 2 å will light up
on the instrument panel when the igni -
tion is switched on and then go out after
a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition is
switched on, or comes on continuously
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.
