For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the following safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (a child, pet,
object...). This could hamper the operation
of the airbags or injure the occupants.
a
fter an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems must be
carried out by a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of slight burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag
is deployed cannot be ruled out. In fact,
the bag inflates almost instantly (within a
few milliseconds) then deflates within the
same time, discharging the hot gas through
openings provided for this purpose. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible as deployment
of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags
o

nly put approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of lateral
airbags. For information on the range of
seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you
can contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer. Refer to the
"
a ccessories" section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag inflates.
d

o not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, ETC...
Driving advice
as the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
