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.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
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.

– Brake as little as possible by suitably anticipating an obstacle or bend and then simply releasing the accelerator pedal.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in
- termediate gears.
Always use the highest gear possi- ble without labouring the engine.
On versions with an automatic trans- mission, it is preferable to keep the
gear lever in position D.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more than you would on level roads. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off the engine are unnecessary in modern vehicles.
– Bad weather, flooded roads.
Do not drive through floods if the depth of water is above the lower edge of the wheel rims.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will detect any operating faults in the vehicle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub- stances may be released into the at- mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in- strument panel will indicate if there are any faults in the system:This lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out when the engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult
your approved dealer as soon as possible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact your approved dealer as soon as possible.
Driving
– Drive carefully for the first few miles until the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, rather than let it warm up while the vehicle is sta- tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
