The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the airbags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt 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 airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible with air- bags.
The air bags are not always triggered if the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe. Impacts from underneath the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, ca\
n all trigger these systems.
– No work or modification
whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the driver or passenger air bag system (air bag, elec- tronic unit, wiring, etc.), except by qualified personnel from our Netw\
ork.
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which could cause injury,
only qualified personnel from our Network 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).
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.

Choosing a child seat mounting
CHILD SAFETY : choosing a child seat mounting
The are two ways of attaching child seats: via the seat belt or using the ISOFIX system.
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to ensure that it is effective in the event of harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are re- spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor- rectly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by moving it from side to side and back to front: the seat should remain firmly fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been installed at an angle and that it is not resting against a window.
Attachment with the ISOFIX system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap- proved in accordance with regulation ECE-R44 in one of the three following scenarios:
– ISOFIX universal 3-point forward- facing seat
– ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat
– specific
For the latter two, check that your child seat can be installed by consulting the list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings.
Before using an ISOFIX
child seat that you pur- chased for another vehicle, check that its installation is authorised. Consult the list of vehi- cles which can be fitted with the seat with the equipment manufacturer.
No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts, ISOFIX and seats and their mountings) originally fitted.
The seat belt must never be twisted or the tension relieved. Never pass the shoulder strap under the arm or behind the back.Check that the seat belt has not been damaged by sharp edges.If the seat belt does not operate nor- mally, it will not protect the child. Consult an approved dealer. Do not use this seat until the seat belt has been repaired.
Do not use the child seat if it may unfasten the seat belt restraining it: the base of the seat must not rest on the buckle and/or catch of the seat belt.

fitting a child seat
CHILD SAFETY : Fitting a child seat
In the rear side seatA carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nearest the door.
Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a rear-facing child seat, then move back the seat or seats in front in accordance with the child seat instructions.
For the safety of the child in the for- ward-facing seat, do not move the seat in front back past the middle of the runner, do not tilt the seatback too far (maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as much as possible.
Check that the forward-facing child seat is resting against the back of the vehi- cle seat and that the headrest of the ve- hicle is not obstructing its use.
In the front seatThe laws concerning children travel- ling in the front passenger seat differ in every country. Consult the legislation in force and follow the indications on the diagram on the following page.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if authorised):
– lower the seat belt as far as possi- ble;
– move the seat as far back as possi- ble;
– gently tilt the seatback away from vertical (approximately 25°).
Do not change these settings after the child seat is installed.

SERIOUS INJURY: before fitting a rear-facing child seat in this seat, check that the air bag has been deacti- vated (refer to the information on “Deactivating the front passenger air bags” in Section 1).
Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagram on the follow- ing page shows you how to attach a child seat.
The types of child seats indicated may not be available. Before using a differ- ent child seat, check with the manufac- turer that it can be fitted.
Fit the child seat in a rear seat wherever possible.
Check that when installing the child seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of coming loose from its base.
If you have to remove the headrest, check that it is correctly stored so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the vehicle even if it is not in use so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.

CHILD SAFETY : Deactivating/activating the front passenger airbag
The passenger air bag must be activated or deactivated with the ignition off.
If handled when the igni-
tion is on, the warning light å comes on.
Switch the ignition off then on again to reset the air bag in accordance with the lock.
To deactivate the passenger air bag
Switch off the ignition, push and turn
lock 1 to the OFF position.
The air bag is deactivated.
When the ignition has been switched back on, it is essential to check that
the warning light
2, ], is lit on the instrument panel.
This warning light remains lit to con- firm that you can fit a child seat, as the passenger air bag has been de- activated.
Deactivating the front
passenger air bag(depending on vehicle)
To fit a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat, you must deacti- vate the front passenger air bag if your vehicle is fitted with air bag deactiva- tion.
DANGER
Since front passenger air bag triggering and the po- sition of a rear-facing child seat are incompatible, it is not per- mitted to fit such a seat in this posi- tion unless the vehicle is fitted with an air bag deactivation device. The child may suffer very serious injuries if the air bag inflates.
The label (on the dashboard) and the markings (on the sun visor) remind you of these instructions.
