Seat belts
SEAT BELTS (1/5)
Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par -
ticular country you are in.
I n c o r r e c t l y a d j u s t e d o r
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belts to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving position
(depending on the vehicle)
– Sit well back in your seat (having
removed your coat or jacket etc.).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head -
rest. For the maximum safety, your
head must be as close as possible to
the headrest;
– adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view;
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
The shoulder strap 1 should be as close
as possible to the base of the neck but
not on it.
Lap belt 2 must be worn flat over the
thighs and against the pelvis. The seat
belt must be worn as close to the body
as possible. i.e.: avoid wearing heavy
clothing or keeping bulky objects under
the belts, etc.

Make sure that the rear bench seat
is securely locked in position so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi -
ciently. Refer to information in the
paragraph on “Second row rear
seats: functions” and “Third row rear
seats: functions” in Section 3.

SEAT BELTS (2/5)
To fasten
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 3 locks into
catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull -
ing on buckle 3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed,
pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.
Adjusting the front seat belt
height
Move button 6 to select the position you
require so that the chest strap 1 is worn
as described above.
Make sure that the seat belt is locked
in position correctly after you have ad-
justed it.
Unlocking
Press the button 4 on catch 5 and the
seat belt will be rewound by the iner -
tia reel. Hold by the buckle to make this
easier.
™Front seat belt reminder
warning light
Depending on the vehicle, it comes on
when the engine is started and if the
driver’s and/or passenger’s seat belt is
not fastened. When the vehicle is being
driven, it comes on and a beep sounds
for approximately 2 minutes until the
driver’s seat belt is fastened.
Note: You are not recommended to rest
any object on the passenger seat. This
may trigger the front seatbelt reminder
warning light.1

SEAT BELTS (5/5)
The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.
– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: seat belts, seats and
their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), co\
ntact an authorised dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too
loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around
them.
– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as
they show any signs of wear.
– When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used prop-
erly.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly se-
cured.
– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob-
jects).

Methods of restraint in addition to the front seat belts
SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)
Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:
– seat belt pretensioners;
– chest force limiters;
– front airbags for driver and front
passenger.
These systems are designed to act in-
dependently or together when the vehi-
cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt pretensioner (which en-
gages to correct seat belt slack);
– the air bag and the force limiter are
also triggered when there are severe
impacts.– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatsoever
is permitted on any part of the
system (air bags, electronic con-
trol units, wiring) and the system
components must not be reused
on any other vehicle, even if iden -
tical.
– To avoid premature triggering
of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Network per-
sonnel are authorisedto work on
the methods of restraint in addi -
tion to the front seat belt.
– The electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped,
contact an approved dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
airbag gas generators.
Pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in-
creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
With the ignition on, following a signif -
icant frontal impact and depending on
the severity of the impact, the system
may trigger the seat belt inertia reel
pretensioner 1, which instantly retracts
the seat belt.

SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
Driver’s and passenger air
bags
They are fitted on the driver’s side and,
depending on the vehicle, on the pas -
senger side.
Depending on the vehicle, the pres -
ence of this equipment is indicated by
the word “airbag” on the steering wheel
and dashboard (airbag zone 1 ) and
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.
Each air bag system consists of:
– an airbag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the driver
and, depending on the vehicle, in the
dashboard for the front passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monitor-
ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– a single warning light
å;
– remote sensors.
Load limiter
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.
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.
An air bag may inflate immediately,
causing some minor, superficial
grazing to the skin or other discom-
fort.

SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
If a severe frontal impact occurs, the
air bag(s) inflate(s) rapidly, cushion -
ing the impact of the driver’s head and
chest against the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s head against the
dashboard. The air bag then deflates
immediately so that the passengers are
not impeded in any way when they get
out of the vehicle.
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.
