Safety
frontal collision the system might not trigger
correctly or may fail to trigger at all.
Airbag activation
The airbags deploy extremely rapidly, within
thousandths of a second, to provide addi-
tional protection in the event of an accident.
A fine dust may develop when the airbag de-
ploys. This is normal and it is not an indica-
tion of fire in the vehicle.
The airbag system is only ready to function
when the ignition is on.
In special accidents instances, several air-
bags may activate at the same time.
In the event of minor head-on and side colli-
sions, rear-end collisions, overturning or roll-
over of the vehicle, airbags
do not activate.
Activation factors
The conditions that lead to the airbag system
activating in each situation cannot be gener-
alised. Some factors play an important role,
such as the properties of the object the vehi-
cle hits (hard/soft), angle of impact, vehicle
speed, etc.
Deceleration trajectory is key for airbag acti-
vation. The control unit analyses the collision trajec-
tory and activates the respective restraint
system.
If the deceleration rate is below the prede-
fined reference value in the control unit the
airbags will not be triggered, even though
the accident may cause extensive damage to
the car.
The following airbags are triggered in
serious head-on collisions
● Driver airbag.
● Front passenger front airbag
The following airbags are triggered in
serious side-on collisions
● Front side airbag on the side of the acci-
dent.
● Rear side airbag on the side of the acci-
dent.
● Curtain (head) airbag on the side of the ac-
cident.
In an accident with airbag activation:
● the interior lights switch on (if the interior
light switch is in the courtesy light position);
● the hazard warning lights switch on;
● all doors are unlocked;
● the fuel supply to the engine is cut. Control lamp for airbag and seat belt
tensioner
 The control lamp monitors all airbags and
seat belt tensioners in the vehicle, including
control units and wiring connections.
Monitoring of airbag and belt tensioner
system
Both the airbag and belt tensioner systems
operation is constantly monitored electroni-
cally. Each time the ignition is switched on,
the control lamp
 illuminates for several
seconds (self-diagnosis) and the instrument
panel display* shows AIRBAG/TENSIONER
.
The system must be checked when the
control lamp  :
● does not light up when the ignition is
switched on,
● turns off after 4 seconds after the ignition
is switched on
● turns off and then lights up again after the
ignition is switched on
● illuminates or flashes while the vehicle is
moving.
In the event of a malfunction, the warning
lamp stays on continuously. In addition, de-
pending on the malfunction, a fault message
appears on the instrument panel display for
approximately 10 seconds and a short audi-
ble warning is given. In this event, you

Instruments and warning lamps
Rev counter The red part of the rev counter scale
1›››
Fig. 24 ››› page 30 marks the area where
the engine control unit begins to limit the en-
gine speed. The engine control unit is re-
sponsible for reducing the revs to a safe lim-
it.
Before the needle reaches the red zone
change up into a higher gear, or move the se-
lector lever of the automatic gearbox to D.
In order to drive at an optimum RPM, follow
the gear change indications ››› page 32. For the sake of the environment
Changing to higher gears in advance helps to
reduce fuel consumption and noise levels,
helps to protect the environment and benefits
both the useful life and the reliability of the
engine. Speedometer
Speed warning
An audible warning will be heard when 120
km/h (75 mph) is exceeded. If the speed falls
below this limit, the audible warning
switches off. Note
This function is only valid for certain coun-
tries. Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauge
4
››› Fig. 24
››› page 30 only works when the ignition is
sw it

ched on.
Damage to the engine can be avoided by ob-
serving the indications regarding the temper-
ature zones.
Engine cold
If the needle is still on the left of the scale,
the engine has not yet reached operating
temperature. Avoid high engine speeds, hard
acceleration and subjecting the engine to
high loads.
Operating temperature zone
When the needle has reached the central part
of the scale, this means the engine has
reached operating temperature. Running the
engine at full throttle and the high tempera-
tures involved can cause the needle to be
positioned in the zone on the right. CAUTION
The additional headlights and other parts
placed in front of the fresh air inlets reduce
the effect of engine cooling. With high out-
side temperatures and engine speeds a risk
becomes present of the engine overheating.

The fuel tank has a capacity of approx. 55 li-
tres. When the needle reaches the reserve
area, the  ›››

warning symbol illu-
minates on the general instrument panel and
an audible warning can be heard. CAUTION
Never completely empty the tank! An irregu-
larity in the fuel supply system can cause ir-
regularities when the engine is running. Un-
burned fuel can reach the exhaust gas sys-
tem, which can cause deterioration of the cat-
alytic converter. Note
Some vehicles come fitted with the fuel
gauge on the general instrument panel. 31
