AddITIONAL  mETHOds Of REsTRAINT
The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both 
the  air  bags  and  seat  belts  are  integral  parts  of  the  same  protection 
system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts 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 air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always 
possible with air bags.
If  the  vehicle  should  overturn  or  suffer  a  rear  impact,  however  severe,  the  pre-
tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Shocks to the underbody of the 
vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.
–  No work or modification  whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air 
bag  system  (air  bags,  pretensioners,  computer,  wiring  harness,  etc.),  except 
by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
–  To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental trig-
gering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel 
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).
Operating faults
Warning  light  1   will  light  up  on  the  in -
strument  panel  when  the  ignition  is 
turned  on  and  then  go  out  after  a  few 
seconds.
If it does not come on when the ignition 
is  switched  on,  or  if  it  comes  on  when 
the  engine  is  running,  there  is  a  fault 
with  the  system  (air  bags,  pretension -
ers, etc.) in the front and/or rear seats.
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.

Special note:
The  Tyre  Pressure  Monitor  function 
does  not  check  the  emergency  spare 
wheel (the wheel replaced by the emer-
gency spare wheel disappears from the 
instrument panel display).
Refer  to  the  information  on  the  “Tyre 
pressure monitor” in Section 2.In the event of a puncture, 
depending on the vehicle, 
you will have:
An  emergency  spare  wheel  or  tyre  in -
flation kit (refer to the information on the 
following pages).
emergency spare wheel
This is located in the luggage compart-
ment. To access it:
–  open the tailgate;
–  lift  up  the  luggage  compartment 
carpet 1 and 2;
–  unscrew the central mounting;
–  remove the emergency spare wheel.
If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is 
safe to use.
Vehicles fitted with an emergency spare wheel smaller than the four other\
 wheels:
–  Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
–  Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with the same dimensions as the original.
–  When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speed 
indicated on the label on the wheel.
–  Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and 
reduce your speed when cornering.
–  If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.

Inflation kit C
Depending  on  the  vehicle,  in  the  event 
of a puncture, use the tyre inflation kit.
– Take  out  compressor  4   and  bottle  1 
located  under  the  luggage  compart-
ment carpet;
–  unroll inflation hose  8 and lead 9 lo-
cated  under  the  compressor  and  in-
flation  hose  10 . Attach  the  bottle  to 
its  mounting  3   and  screw  inflation 
hose 8 onto end piece  2.
engine running, handbrake applied:
–  unscrew  the  valve  cap  of  the  wheel 
concerned  and  screw  inflation 
hose 10 onto the valve;
–  connect end piece  9 to one of the ve-
hicle’s  accessories  sockets  (refer  to 
the  information  on  the  “Accessories 
socket”  in  Section  3)  then  press 
switch  7 to inflate the tyre to the rec-
ommended  pressure  (refer  to  the 
label located on the edge of the driv-
er’s door);
–  after  a  maximum  of  5  minutes,  stop 
inflating  and  read  the  pressure  on 
pressure  gauge  6 .  To  adjust  the 
pressure  if  necessary:  continue  in -
flating  to  increase  the  pressure  or 
press button 5 to decrease it. If  a  minimum  pressure  of  1.8  bar  is 
not  reached  after  15  minutes,  repair 
is  not  possible;  do  not  drive  the  ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
Before  using  this  kit,  park 
the  vehicle  at  a  sufficient 
distance  from  traffic,  switch 
on  the  hazard  warning 
lights,  apply  the  handbrake,  ask  all 
passengers to leave the vehicle and 
keep them away from traffic.

Pressures should be checked when the 
tyres  are  cold;  ignore  higher  pressures 
which  may  be  reached  in  hot  weather 
or following a fast journey.
If  tyre  pressures  cannot  be  checked 
when  the  tyres  are  cold,  the  normal 
pressures  must  be  increased  by  0.2  to 
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
never deflate a hot tyre.
Special note
Depending  on  the  vehicle,  there  may 
be  an  adapter  which  needs  to  be  posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.Fitting new tyres
emergency spare wheel
Refer  to  the  information  on  the 
“Emergency  spare  wheel”  and  in -
structions  on  “Changing  a  wheel”  in 
Section 5.
tYreS (continued)
t yre pressuresAdhere to the tyre pressures (including 
the  emergency  spare  wheel).  The  tyre 
pressures  should  be  checked  at  least 
once  a  month  and  additionally  before 
any  long  journey  (refer  to  the  label  af -
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
Incorrect  tyre  pressures 
lead  to  abnormal  tyre  wear 
and  unusually  hot  running. 
These  are  factors  which 
may seriously affect safety and lead 
to:
–  poor road holding,
–  risk  of  bursting  or  tread  separa -
tion.
The  pressure  depends  on  the  load 
and  the  speed  of  use.  Adjust  the 
pressures  according  to  the  condi -
tions of use (refer to the information 
on “Tyre pressures”).
Please  be  aware  that  a 
poorly  tightened  or  miss -
ing valve cap can make the 
tyres  less  airtight  and  lead 
to pressure loss.
Always  use  valve  caps  identical  to 
those  fitted  originally  and  tighten 
them fully.
For safety reasons, this op-
eration  must  be  carried  out 
by a specialist.
Fitting  different  tyres  may 
change your vehicle as follows:
–  It may mean that your vehicle no 
longer  conforms  to  current  regu-
lations;
–  It may change the way it handles 
when cornering;
–  It  may  cause  the  steering  to  be 
heavy;
–  It  may  affect  the  use  of  snow 
chains.
