Additional methods of restraint:
to the front seat belts
METhODs OF REsTRAINT IN ADDITION TO ThE FRONT sEAT BELTs (1/3)
Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:
– seat belt inertia reel pretension -
ers;
– chest-level load limiters;
– air bags for driver and front pas -
senger.
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 inertia reel pretensioner
(which engages to correct seat belt
slack);
– the air bags.
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.
In the event of a severe frontal impact
and if the ignition is switched on, the
system may engage the following de -
pending on the force of the impact:
the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner 1
which instantly retracts the seat belt.
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatso -
ever is permitted on any part of
the system (pretensioners, air
bags, computers, wiring) and the
system components must not
be reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.
– To avoid incorrect triggering of
the system which may cause
injury, only qualified personnel
from an approved dealer may
work on the pretensioner and air
bag system.
– 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
air bag gas generators.

METhODs OF REsTRAINT IN ADDITION TO ThE FRONT sEAT BELTs (2/3)
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.
Air bags for driver and front
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is indi -
cated by the word “Airbag” on the steer-
ing wheel and the dashboard (air bag
zone A ) and a label on the lower part
of the windscreen or on the sun visor.
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 warning light
å on the
instrument panel.
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 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.
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.

Force 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.
– 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.
– Only qualified personnel from
our Network may work on the air
bags; otherwise the system may
trigger accidentally and cause
injury.

Speed limiter (Analogue instrument panel)
the speed limiter operates differently
depending on the vehicle’s instrument
panel. There are two different functions
(instrument panel A and B ) detailed
below.
Instrument panel A
The speed limiter function helps you
stay within the driving speed limit that
you choose, known as the limit speed.
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Limit speed activation, storage and
increase switch (+).
3 Decrease limit speed (-).
4 Switching the function off (with limit
speed storage) (O).
5 Activation and recall of stored limit
speed (R).

Press switch 1 on the side showing .
Warning light 6 comes on, lit orange,
and the message “ Speed limiter” ap-
pears on the instrument panel, accom-
panied by dashes to indicate that the
speed limiter function is activated and
waiting to store a limit speed.
To store the current speed, press
switch 2 (+): the minimum speed which
can be stored is 20 mph (30 km/h).
