Chest-level and lap belt load
limiters
Above a certain severity of impact, this mechanism is used to limit the force of the belt against the body so that it is at an acceptable level.
Anti-submarining air bag
Located on each of the front seats, it deploys in order to prevent the occu- pant from sliding under the seat belt.
Air bag for driver and front
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in- dicated by the word “Air bag” on the steering wheel and dashboard (air bag
zone A) and, depending on the vehicle, a symbol on the lower section of the windscreen.
Each air bag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monitor
- ing which controls the gas generator electrical trigger system;
– a single
å warning light on the instrument panel.

A
The air bag system uses pyrotechnic principles. This explains why, when the air bag inflates, it will gener- ate heat, produce smoke (this does not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation. In a situation where an air bag is required, it will inflate immediately and this may cause some minor, su- perficial grazing to the skin or other problems.

Operating faults
Warning light 4 å will light up on the instrument panel when the ignition is turned on and then go out after a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or comes on when the engine is running, there is a fault in the system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon as possible. Your protection will be re- duced until this fault is rectified.
4
Operation
This system is only operational when the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact of the driver’s head and chest against the steering wheel and of the front pas- senger against the dashboard. The air bags then deflate immediately so that the passengers are not in any way hin- dered from leaving the vehicle.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when\
it inflates.
Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.
– Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network).
– When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting
your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In
general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knee\
s, hands, head, etc.).
– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure
the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.
A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.
(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating \
the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)
Warnings concerning the anti-submarining air bagDo not let a child under the age of 12 sit in this seat. When triggered, the anti-submarining air bag may project objects left on the seat base with a great deal of force.Risk of serious injury.

Side Airbags
This airbag may be fitted to each of the front seats and is activated at the sides of the seats (door side) to protect the occupants in the event of a severe side impact.
Curtain Airbags
This airbag may be fitted along the top of each side of the vehicle and is trig- gered along the front and rear side win- dows to protect the passengers in the event of a severe side impact.
side
A marking on the windscreen and on the trim near the rear screen re- minds you of the presence of addi- tional methods of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, etc.) in the passen- ger compartment.
SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Warning relating to the side airbag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers spe- cifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those de- signed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehicle) may affect the operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.
– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the
door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal
fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
– This airbag operates through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never
insert any objects in these slits.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when\
it inflates.
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the occu- pants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor super- ficial injuries occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such min\
or injuries are always possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and airbags are not always triggered. Impacts to the underside of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements,\
potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.
– No work or modification
whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the airbag system (airbags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified Network personnel.
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury,
only qualified Network personnel may work on the airbag system.
– As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or is stolen or
broken into.
– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand over this handbook with the vehicle.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).

Child safety: General information
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys. The children being carried in your vehi- cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet fin- ished growing. The seat belt alone would not provide suitable protection. Use an approved child seat and ensure you use it correctly.
CHILD SAFETY : General information
To prevent the doors being opened, use the “Child safety” device (refer to the information on “Opening a n d c l o s i n g t h e d o o r s ” i n
Section 1).
A collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of 10 metres. Transporting a child without a restraint is the equivalent of allow- ing him or her to play on a fourth-floor balcony without railings.Never travel with a child held in your arms. In the event of an accident, you will not be able to keep hold of the child, even if you yourself are wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child seat and have the seat belts and ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
Using a child seatThe level of protection offered by the child seat depends on its ability to re- strain your child and on its installation. Incorrect installation compromises the protection it offers the child in the event of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a child seat, check that it complies with the regulations for the country you are in and that it can be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap- proved dealer to find out which seats are recommended for your vehicle.
Before fitting a child seat, read the manual and respect its instructions. If you experience any difficulties during installation, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Keep the instructions with the seat.
Set a good example by always fas- tening your seat belt and teaching your child:
– to strap themselves in correctly;
– to always get in and out of the car
at the kerb, away from busy traf- fic.
Do not use a second-hand child seat or one without an instruction manual.
Check that there are no objects in the vicinity of the child seat which could impede its operation.
Never leave a child unat- tended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is always strapped in and that the belt or safety harness used is correctly set and adjusted. Avoid wearing bulky clothing which could cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, espe- cially if asleep.

CHILD SAFETY: Choosing a child seat
Rear-facing child seatsA baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier than that of an adult and its neck is very fragile. Transport the child in this posi- tion as long as possible (until the age of 2 at the very least). It supports both the head and the neck.Choose a bucket type seat for best side protection and change it as soon as the child’s head is higher than the shell.
Forward-facing child seatsThe child’s head and abdomen need to be protected as a priority. A forward- facing child seat which is firmly at- tached to the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact to the head. Ensure your child travels in a forward-facing seat with a harness or buckle for as long as their size permits.Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.w
Booster cushionsFrom 15 kg or 4 years, the child can travel using a booster seat, which will enable the seat belt to be adapted to suit his size and shape. The booster seat cushion must be fitted with guides to position the seat belt on the child’s thighs rather than the stomach. It is recommended that you use a seatback which can be adjusted in terms of height to position the seat belt in the centre of the shoulder. It must never rest on the neck or on the arm.Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.
