For safety reasons, carry 
out any adjustments when 
the vehicle is not being 
driven.

floor (area in front of driver) as such 
objects may slide under the pedal 
during braking manoeuvres, thus 
obstructing its use.

trol  1 or 2  and tilt the seatback to the 
desired position.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)
1
–  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.Depending on the vehicle, they will con-
sist of:
–  front seat belt inertia reel preten-sioners;
–  chest-level load limiters;
–  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);
– airbags.
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.
With the ignition on, following a signif-
icant frontal impact and depending on 
the severity of the impact, the system 
may trigger the seat belt inertia reel 
pretensioner  1, which instantly retracts 
the seat belt.

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.
2
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.
