CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control maintains a con-
stant vehicle speed programmed by
the driver.
In order for it to be programmed or
activated, the vehicle speed must be
greater than 25 mph (40 km/h) with
at least fourth gear engaged.

When changing the pro-
grammed reference speed
by means of a maintained
press, pay attention as the
speed can increase or de-
crease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
r o a d s o r i n h e a v y t r a f fi c .
In the event of a steep slope, the
cruise control cannot prevent the
vehicle from exceeding the pro-
grammed speed.
In any event, the cruise control can-
not replace the need to observe the
speed limits, nor can it replace the
need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near
the pedals.
To prevent the mat from becoming

FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the passen-
ger air bag is disarmed, in the event
of a serious front impact applied in
the impact zone A in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle, on a hori-
zontal plane and from the front of the
vehicle towards the rear. The air bag
i n fl a t e s b e t w e e n t h e f r o n t o c c u p a n t o f
the vehicle and the fascia to cushion
his forward movement. The air bags
therefore limit the risk of injury to the
head and chest.
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions.
They work in conjunction with the
force-limi-ting seat belts. The elec-
tronic detectors register and analyse
any abrupt deceleration of the vehi-
cle in the impact detection zones (see
diagram): if the triggering threshold is
r e a c h e d , t h e a i r b a g s i n fl a t e i n s t a n t l y
and protect the occupants of the ve-
hicle.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone. Immediately after the impact, the air
b a g s 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
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their exit if necessary from
the vehicle.
The air bags are not deployed in the
case of minor impacts, rear impacts
or in certain roll-over conditions. The
s e a t b e l t i s s u f fi c i e n t t o e n s u r e m a x i -
mum protection in these situations.
The seriousness of a collision de-
pends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of the collision.

Note: the gas escaping from
the air bags can be a minor
irritant.
