Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also 
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
SEAT BELTS (1/3)
Make sure that the rear seats are 
locked in position properly so that 
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on 
“rear seat functions” and “adjusting 
the rear seats” in Section 3.
Seat belts which are incor-
rectly adjusted or twisted 
may cause injuries in the 
event of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person, 
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear 
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that 
the lap belt is not exerting too much 
pressure on the abdomen, but do 
not allow any slack.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants 
to adjust their seat belts to ensure 
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving 
position
–  Sit well back in your seat  (having 
first removed your coat or jacket). 
This is essential to ensure your back 
is positioned correctly;
–  adjust the distance between the  seat and the pedals. Your seat 
should be as far back as possible 
while still allowing you to depress 
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback 
should be adjusted so that your arms 
are slightly bent when you hold the 
steering wheel;
–  adjust the position of your head- rest. For maximum safety, your head 
must be as close as possible to the 
headrest;
–  adjust the height of the seat.  This 
adjustment allows you to select the 
seat position which offers you the 
best possible view;
–  adjust the position of the steering 
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the 
seatback.
Shoulder strap  1 should be as close as 
possible to the base of the neck but not 
on it.
Lap belt  2 should be worn flat over the 
thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is 
as close as possible to your body, ie.: 
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

SEAT BELTS (2/3)
Locking
Unwind the belt  slowly and smoothly  
and ensure that buckle  3 locks into 
catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull- ing on buckle  3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly 
before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed, 
pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over 
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly 
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.
ßDriver’s seat belt reminder 
and, depending on the vehi-
cle, front passenger seat belt re-
minder
This lights up on the instrument panel 
when the engine is started, then, if the 
driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt 
(if this seat is occupied) is not fastened 
and the vehicle has reached approxi-
mately 12 mph (20 km/h), it flashes and 
a bleep sounds for around 120 sec-
onds.
Note: an object placed on the passen-
ger seat base may activate the warning 
light in some cases.
Rear seat belt reminder  (depending 
on vehicle)
Warning light 
ß lights up and, de-
pending on the vehicle, it is accompa-
nied by a message on the instrument 
panel for approximately 30 seconds 
each time the vehicle is started, a door 
is opened or a rear seat belt is fastened 
or unfastened. Check that the rear pas-
sengers are wearing seat belts and that 
the number of seat belts shown as fas-
tened corresponds to the number of 
rear seat places occupied.

and raise or lower the seat belt. Make 
sure that the seat belt is locked in posi-
tion correctly after you have adjusted it.

SEAT BELTS (3/3)
The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.
–  No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fit\
ted restraint system: belts, seats and their 
mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact \
an authorised dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes peg\
s, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too 
loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
–  Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
–  Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby o\
r child on your lap with your seat belt around  them.
–  The belt should never be twisted.
–  Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if neces\
sary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as  they show any signs of wear.
–  Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
–  Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch\
 as they could prevent it from being properly se- cured.
–  When refitting the rear seats, make sure the seat belts are correctly po\
sitioned so that they can be used correctly.
–  Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be \
hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob- jects).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)
Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.
–  Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
–  The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel f\
rom our Network).
–  Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: Sit with your a\
rms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting  your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and to be fully effe ctive.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
–  Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder\
, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
–  Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umb\
rella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
–  The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as t\
here is a risk that serious injuries may be sustained . 
In general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (k\
nees, hands, head, etc.)
–  The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be react\
ivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure  the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.
A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.
(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating \
the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructe\
d 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. 

1.27
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SEAT BELTS
Force limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this 
mechanism is used to limit the force of 
the belt against the body so that it is at 
an acceptable level.
–  Have the entire restraint 
system checked following 
an accident.
– No operation whatsoever 
is permitted on any part of the 
system (air bags, electronic con-
trol units, wiring) and the system 
components must not be reused 
on any other vehicle, even if iden-
tical.
– Only qualified personnel from  our Network may work on the air 
bags; otherwise the system may 
trigger accidentally and cause 
injury. 

1.28
SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Warning concerning the side air bag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers 
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to fi\
nd 
out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those 
designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle\
) may 
affect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protection.
–  Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback,\
 the  door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items\
 such as 
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly 
or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
–  No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or int\
ernal  fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
Side air bags
These air bags are fitted to the front 
seats and are activated at the sides of 
the seats (door side) to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of a severe side 
impact.
Curtain air bags
These are air bags fitted along the sides 
of the vehicle in the ceiling which trigger 
along the front and rear side windows 
to protect the passengers in case of a 
severe side impact.
