No person or object must prevent
the seat slide from returning to its
initial position; return to this posi-

lock in place.
Take care not to trap the seat belt
to avoid hindering the passage of
the rear passengers.

To raise the head restraint, pull it up-
wards.
To remove the head restraint, press
the lug A and pull the head restraint
upwards.
To put the head restraint back in po-
sition, locate the stems of the head
restraint in the holes, taking care to
keep them in line with the seat back.
To lower the head restraint, press
the lug A and the head restraint at
the same time. The head restraint has a frame with
a notch which prevents the head
restraint from lowering; this is a
safety device which provides pro-
tection in the event of an impact.

tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of front impacts. De-
pending on the severity of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly tight-
ens the seat belts against the body of
the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the oc-
cupant, increasing his protection.

AIR BAGS Front air bags
System which protects the head and
chest of the driver and front passenger
in the event of a front impact.
The driver's air bag is incorporated in the
centre of the steering wheel; the front
passenger's air bag is incorporated in
the fascia above the glove box.
Activation
The air bags are triggered simultane-
ously, unless the passenger's front air
bag is disarmed, in the event of a seri-
ous front impact applied to all or part of
the front impact zone A , in the longitu-
dinal centreline of the vehicle on a hori-
zontal 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 fas-
cia to cushion his forward movement. Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone.
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.
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 air bags are triggered instantly and protect the occupants of the vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre passenger); immediately after the i m p a c t , t h e a i r b a g s d e fl a t e r a p i d l y 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 air bags will not be triggered; the s e a t b e l t a l o n e i s s u f fi c i e n t t o p r o -vide optimum protection in these situations.
