Additional methods of restraint
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the
airbags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system.
It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are
not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the
event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries
occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always
possible with airbags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-
tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Impacts to the underside of the
vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these \
systems.
–

N

o work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the
driver or passenger air bag system (air bag, electronic unit, wiring, etc.), except
by qualified personnel from our Network.
–

T

o ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental trig-
gering of the system which could cause injury, only qualified personnel from
our Network may work on the air bag system.
–

As

a safety precaution, have the air bag 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 driver’s handbook with the vehicle.
–

When
scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the
gas generator(s).
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 the air bag inflates.
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
Operating faults
Indicator light 1, å, lights up when
the ignition is switched on and goes out
after a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or if it lights up when the
engine is running, it indicates a fault in
the system. In this case, fitting a child
seat in the front passenger seat is
PROHIBITED.
Contact an approved dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

DANGER
Since front passenger air
bag triggering and the po-
sition of a rear-facing child
seat are incompatible, it is not per-
mitted to fit such a seat in this posi-
tion unless the vehicle is fitted with an
air bag deactivation device. The child
may suffer very serious injuries if the
air bag inflates.
The markings on the dashboard and
on each side of passenger sun visor

will remind you of these instructions.

tion is on, the warning light

to reset the air bag in accordance
with the lock position.

Operating faults
It is forbidden to fit a rear-facing child
seat to the front passenger seat if the

is faulty.
Allowing any other passenger to sit in
that seat is not recommended.
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible.
Activation of the front
passenger air bag
(depending on vehicle)
You should reactivate the airbag as
soon as you remove the child seat from
the front passenger seat to ensure the
protection of the front passenger in the
event of an impact.
To reactivate the airbag: with the ve-
hicle at a standstill and with the ignition
switched off, press and turn button

1
to
the ON position.
With the ignition switched on, it is es-
sential to check that warning light

The oil should always be changed
when the first threshold is reached, i.e.
either the distance travelled or the inter-
val specified in your vehicle’s mainte-

ing light comes on.
