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.
Depending  on  the  vehicle,  the  pres -
ence  of  this  equipment  is  indicated  by 
the word “air bag” on the steering wheel 
and  dashboard  (air  bag  zone  A )  and 
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;
–  one  single  warning  light 
å  on 
the instrument panel;
–  remote sensors.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.

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.
special feature of the front air 
bag
After a violent impact, it has two deploy -
ment volumes and integrates a ventila -
tion system:
–  small volume air bag, this is the first 
stage of operation;
–  large  volume  air  bag,  the  air  bag 
seams rip so that a larger volume of 
gas  is  released  into  the  bag  (for  the 
most severe impacts).

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 our Network).
–  When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting 
your driving position” in Section 1). 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.

(refer to Section 1 “Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag”)
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.
