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.
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.
The lap strap 2 should be worn flat over
the thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close as possible to your body, i.e.:
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep -
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.Seat belts which are incor -
rectly adjusted or twisted
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.
Make sure that the rear bench seat
is securely locked in position so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi -
ciently. Refer to “Rear bench seat”
in Section 3.
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
– s it well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
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 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.

force limiter
Above a certain level of impact force,
this mechanism is used to limit the force
of the belt against the chest so that it is
at an acceptable level.
Air bags for driver and front
passenger
An “airbag” marking on the steer -
ing wheel and the dashboard (airbag
area A ) indicates that this device is
fitted.
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 intelligent computer for both sys-
tems, which includes an impact
sensor and a monitor controlling the
electrical trigger system for the gas
generator;
– an air bag warning light
å on the
instrument panel;
– remote sensors for the device.
The air bag system oper -
ates using the principles of
pyrotechnics. This explains
why, when the air bag in -
flates, it will generate heat, produce
smoke (this does not mean that a
fire is about to start) and make a
noise upon detonation. In a situa -
tion where an air bag is required, it
will inflate immediately and this may
cause some minor, superficial graz-
ing to the skin or other problems.

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.
Operating faults
Warning light 4 will light up on the in -
strument panel when the ignition is
switched on and then go out after a few
seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or lights up while the
engine is running, there is a fault in the
system (air bags, pretensioners etc.).
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

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.
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 an approved dealership).
– Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: sit with your arms slightly bent (see Section 1 “Adjusting your driving
position”). 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 (knees, 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.
