rolled up correctly and that the buckle
is ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of any impact, the
pretensioning device may be triggered

of the air bags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Triggering of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.

of the seat belt against the body of the
occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is switched on.

Airbags
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of a serious collision;
they work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the front and side impacts suffered in

visibility of the occupants nor their
possible exit from the vehicle.

The seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the

Good practice
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the

operation of the air bags or injure the
occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has
been stolen or broken into, have the air
bag systems checked.

necessary.
Front air bags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Do not allow passengers to place their
feet on the fascia, they risk serious
injury if the air bag is triggered.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment
of the air bags can cause burns or the risk
of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering
wheel or hit it violently.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
This equipment only operates once.

same or a subsequent accident), the
air bag will not operate.
The triggering of an air bag or air bags
is accompanied by a slight discharge
of harmless smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experience
some irritation.
The noise of the detonation may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
It is imperative that the passenger
air bag is disarmed if a child seat
is installed facing rearwards. Refer
