METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/3)
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
If a severe frontal impact occurs, the
airbag inflates rapidly, cushioning the
impact of the driver’s head and chest
against the steering wheel; the airbag
then deflates immediately after impact
so that the vehicle can be exited with-
out hindrance. 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 in-
juries caused by items which may be
dislodged when the air bag inflates.
Warnings concerning the
driver’s air bag
– Do not modify the steer-
ing 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 per-
sonnel from our Network).
– Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: sit with your
arms slightly bent (see Section 1
“Adjusting your driving position”).
This will allow sufficient space
for the air bag to deploy correctly
and to be fully effective.

VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (2/2)
Tyres
An under-inflated tyre increases energy
consumption. Comply with the speci-
fied tyre pressures for your vehicle.
When replacing them, you must use
tyres made by the same manufacturer,
with the same dimensions, type and
structure as the originals.
Please see the information on “Tyres”
in Section 5.
Use of electrical accessories
and equipment
In the event of freezing, manually
de-ice the windscreen (using a scraper)
to reduce usage of the de-icing/demist-
ing function and to save energy.
Please see the information on “Deicing,
demisting the windscreen” in Section 3.
The use of electrical accessories (GPS,
phone charger, etc.) reduces vehicle
range.
Vehicle loading
Avoid pointlessly overloading your ve-
hicle.
For safety reasons, the use
of tyres other than those
recommended by the man-
ufacturer is prohibited.
Failure to respect this recommen-
dation may adversely affect stability,
behaviour, braking or the play be-
tween the bodywork and the tyres...
Some of these effects may lead to
the loss of control of the vehicle
under certain driving conditions,
and lead to an accident and serious
injury.

ACCESSORIES
Electrical and electronic accessoriesBefore installing this type of accessory (particularly for transmitters\
/receivers: frequency bandwidth, power level, po-
sition of the aerial, etc.), make sure it is compatible with your vehic\
le. You can get advice from an authorised dealer.
Only connect accessories with a maximum power of 65 watts. Fire hazard.
No work may be carried out on the vehicle’s 12 V electrical or radio circuits, except by Authorised Dealers: an incorrectly con -
nected system may result in damage being caused to the electrical equipm\
ent and/or the components connected to it.
If the vehicle is fitted with any aftermarket electrical equipment, make\
sure that the installation is correctly protected by a fuse.
Establish the rating and position of this fuse.
Use of transmission/receiving devices (telephones, CB equipment etc.).\
Telephones and CB equipment with integrated aerials may cause interferenc\
e to the electronic systems originally fitted to the
vehicle: it is advisable only to use equipment with an external aerial. \
Furthermore, we remind you of the need to conform
to the legislation in force concerning the use of such equipment.
Fitting after-market accessoriesIf you wish to install accessories on the vehicle: please contact an aut\
horised dealer. Also, to ensure the correct operation o f
your vehicle, and to avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use only accessories specifically designed for y\
our
vehicle, which are the only accessories for which the manufacturer will \
provide a warranty.
If you are using an anti-theft device, only attach it to the brake pedal\
.
Obstructions to the driver
Only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-fitted com\
ponents, and check the fitting regularly. Do not lay on e
mat on top of another. There is a risk of wedging the pedals.
