Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pretensioning   and   force   limiting   system.
This
  system   improves   safety   in   the   front  
s

eats   in   the   event   of   a   front   or   side   impact.  
D

epending   on   the   severity   of   the   impact,   the  
p

retensioning   system   instantly   tightens   the   seat  
b

elts   against   the   body   of   the   occupants.
The
  pretensioning   seat   belts   are   active   when  
t

he   ignition   is   on.
The
  force   limiter   reduces   the   pressure   of   the  
s

eat belt on the chest of the occupant, so
improving
  their   protection.
Seat belt reels with reversible
pretension
This system provides automatic adjustment of the   tension   of   the   driver's   and   passenger's   seat  
b

elts   after   fastening,   once   the   vehicle's   speed  
i

s   above   6   mph   (10   km/h).
In
  addition,   as   soon   as   the   system   detects  
a

  potentially   dangerous   driving   situation,  
t

his   system   reacts   by   drawing   in   slack   in  
t

he   belt,   (for   example,   under   heavy   or   sharp  
b

raking   or   sudden   avoiding   manoeuvres).   By  
a

utomatically   increasing   the   tension   of   the  
s

eat   belts,   the   system   holds   the   driver   and  
p

assenger
 a
gainst
 t

Once
  the   driving   situation   returns   to   normal,  
t

he   belt   reel   is   released:   the   belt   tension   returns  
t

o   the   initial   level   of   comfort.

Safety

222
The driver must ensure that passengers use the   seat   belts   correctly   and   that   they   are   all  
r

estrained   securely   before   setting   off.
Wherever
  you   are   seated   in   the   vehicle,  
a

lways fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do
  not   interchange   the   seat   belt   buckles   as  
t

hey   will   not   fulfil   their   role   fully.
The
  seat   belts   are   fitted   with   an   inertia   reel  
p

ermitting   automatic   adjustment   of   the  
l

ength   of   the   strap   to   your   size.   The   seat   belt  
i

s   stowed   automatically   when   not   in   use.
Before
  and   after   use,   ensure   that   the   seat  
b

elt   is   reeled   in   correctly.
The
  lower   part   of   the   strap   must   be  
p

ositioned   as   low   as   possible   on   the   pelvis.
The
  upper   part   must   be   positioned   in   the  
h

ollow   of   the   shoulder.
The
  inertia   reels   are   fitted   with   an   automatic  
l

ocking   device   which   comes   into   operation   in  
t

he   event   of   a   collision,   emergency   braking  
o

r   if   the   vehicle   rolls   over.   You   can   release  
t

he   device   by   pulling   the   strap   firmly   and  
t

hen   releasing   it   so   that   it   reels   in   slightly.Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less   than   12   years   old   or   shorter   than   one  
a

nd   a   half   metres.
Never
  use   the   same   seat   belt   to   secure   more  
t

han   one   person.
Never
  allow   a   child   to   travel   on   your   lap.

  more   information,   refer   to   the   "Child

In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pretensioning
  device   may   be   deployed  
b

efore   and   independently   of   the   airbags.  
D

eployment   of   the   pretensioners   is  
a

ccompanied   by   a   slight   discharge   of  
h

armless   smoke   and   a   noise,   due   to   the  
a

ctivation   of   the   pyrotechnic   cartridge  
i

ncorporated   in   the   system.
In
  all   cases,   the   airbag   warning   lamp   comes   on.
Following
  an   impact,   have   the   seat   belts  
s

ystem   checked,   and   if   necessary   replaced,

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards improving   the   safety   of   the   occupants  
(with
  the   exception   of   the   rear   centre  
p

assenger)   in   the   event   of   violent   collisions.  
T

he   airbags   supplement   the   action   of   the   force-
limiting
  seat   belts   (with   the   exception   of   the  
c

entre
 r
ear
 p
assenger).
If
  a   collision   occurs,   the   electronic   detectors  
r

ecord   and   analyse   the   front   and   side   impacts  
s

ustained   in   the   impact   detection   zones:
-
 
i
n   the   case   of   a   serious   impact,   the   airbags  
a

re   deployed   instantly   and   contribute  
t

owards   better   protection   of   the   occupants  
o

f   the   vehicle   (with   the   exception   of   the  
r

ear   centre   passenger);   immediately   after  
t

he   impact,   the   airbags   deflate   rapidly   so  
t

hat   they   do   not   hinder   visibility   or   the   exit  
o

f the occupants,
-
 
i
n   the   case   of   a   minor   or   rear   impact   or   in  
c

ertain   roll-over   conditions,   the   airbags  
m

ay   not   be   deployed;   the   seat   belt  
a

lone   contributes   towards   ensuring   your  
p

rotection   in   these   situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This
  equipment   will   only   deploy   once.  
I

f   a   second   impact   occurs   (during   the  
s

ame   or   a   subsequent   accident),   the  
a

irbag   will   not   be   deployed   again. Deployment
  of   one   or   more   of   the  
a

irbags   is   accompanied   by   a   slight  
e

mission   of   smoke   and   a   noise,   due  
t

o the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge
  incorporated   in   the   system.
This
  smoke   is   not   harmful,   but   sensitive  
i

ndividuals   may   experience   slight  
ir

ritation.
The
  noise   of   detonation   related   to   the  
d

eployment   of   one   or   more   airbags   may  
r

esult   in   a   slight   loss   of   hearing   for   a  
s

hort   time.
