METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
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 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.
