FITTINGS
ILLUMINATED GLOVE BOX
This has areas for storing a bottle of water,
the vehicle's handbook pack...
Its lid has areas for storing a pen, a pair of
spectacles, tokens, cards, a can...
SUN VISOR
Component which protects against sunlight
from the front or the side, also equipped
with an illuminated courtesy mirror.

 With the ignition on, raise the
concealing fl ap; the mirror is lit
automatically.
This sun visor is also equipped with a
ticket holder.
TOLL CARD/CAR PARK TICKET WINDOWS
Facility for affi xing toll cards and/or car
park tickets.
These windows are located on each
side of the base of the rear view mirror.
They are two non-refl ective areas of the
athermic windscreen.
The athermic windscreen limits
heating of the passenger compart-
ment by reducing the effects of the
sun's rays (ultra-violet). It consists
of a refl ective layer, which also
blocks certain radio-electric signals
(toll card payments, ...).
 To open the glove box, raise the
handle.
The lamp comes on when the lid is
opened.
If your vehicle is fi tted with air condition-
ing, the glove box has an air vent A ,
which can be opened or closed. This
distributes the same conditioned air as
the vents in the passenger compart-
ment.

SAFETY
AIRBAGS
Triggering of the airbag(s) is accom-panied by a slight emission of harm-
less smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic car-
tridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sen-
sitive individuals may experience
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 driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the head and chest.
The driver's airbag is incorporated in
the centre of the steering wheel; the
front passenger's airbag is incorporated
in the dashboard above the glove box.
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 longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal
plane and directed from the front to the
rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dash-
board to cushion his forward movement.
Impact detection zones

A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent
accident), the airbag will not be
triggered again.
System designed to maximise the safety
of the occupants (with the exception of
the rear centre passenger) in the event
of violent collisions. It supplements the
action of the force-limiting seat belts
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic de-
tectors record and analyse the front and
side impacts sustained in the impact
detection zones:
- in the case of a serious impact, the
airbags are triggered instantly and
protect the occupants of the vehicle
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the
impact, the airbags defl ate rapidly
so that they do not hinder visibility
or the exit of the occupants,
- in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions,
the airbags will not be triggered;
the seat belt alone is suffi cient to
provide optimum protection in these
situations.
