AIR BAGS
S y s t e m d e s i g n e d t o m a x i m i s e
the safety of the occupants (with
t h e e x c e p t i o n o f t h e r e a r c e n t r e
passenger) in the event of violent
collisions. It supplements the action
of the force-limiting seat belts.
If a collision occurs, the electronic
detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts sustained in
the impact detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the air bags are triggered instantly
and protect the occupants of the
v e h i c l e ( w i t h t h e e x c e p t i o n o f t h e
rear centre passenger); immedi-
ately after the impact, the air bags
d e fl a t e r a p i d l y s o t h a t t h e y d o n o t
h i n d e r v i s i b i l i t y o r t h e e x i t o f t h e
occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear im- pact or in certain roll-over con-
ditions, the air bags will not be
triggered; the seat belt alone is
s u f fi c i e n t t o p r o v i d e o p t i m u m
protection in these situations.
The air bags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only operate once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
air bag will not operate. Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
Triggering of the air bag(s) is ac-
companied by a slight emission of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to
the activation of the pyrotechnic car-
tridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
s i t i v e i n d i v i d u a l s m a y e x p e r i e n c e
slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing for
a short time. Front airbags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passen-
ger in the event of a front impact.
The driver’s airbag is incorporated
in the centre of the steering wheel;
the front passenger’s airbag is incor-
porated in the dashboard above the
g l o v e b o x .
Activation
The airbags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger’s front
airbag is deactivated, in the event of
a serious front impact to all or part of
the front impact zone
A , in the longi-
tudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
T h e f r o n t a i r b a g i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n t h e
front occupant of the vehicle and the
dashboard to cushion their forward
movement.

vehicle.
Coolant level
Coolant change
The coolant does not have to be
changed.
F l u i d s p e c i fi c a t i o n
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer’s recommendations. The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
s h o u l d n e v e r e x c e e d i t .
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition off.
O n v e h i c l e s w h i c h a r e fi t t e d w i t h

may operate after the vehicle has
been switched off, even if the en-
gine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
