METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
Force limiter
Above a certain level of impact force,
this mechanism is used to limit the force
of the belt against the chest so that it is
at an acceptable level.
Air bags for driver and front
passenger
An “airbag” marking on the steer-
ing wheel and the dashboard (airbag
area A) indicates that this device is
fitted.
Each air bag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
– an intelligent computer for both sys-
tems, which includes an impact
sensor and a monitor controlling the
electrical trigger system for the gas
generator;
– an air bag warning light
å on the
instrument panel;
– remote sensors for the device.
The air bag system oper-
ates using the principles of
pyrotechnics. This explains
why, when the air bag in-
flates, it will generate heat, produce
smoke (this does not mean that a
fire is about to start) and make a
noise upon detonation. In a situa-
tion where an air bag is required, it
will inflate immediately and this may
cause some minor, superficial graz-
ing to the skin or other problems.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags
inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact
of the driver’s head and chest against
the steering wheel and of the front pas-
senger against the dashboard. The air
bags then deflate immediately so that
the passengers are not in any way hin-
dered from leaving the vehicle.
Operating faults
Warning light 4 will light up on the in-
strument panel when the ignition is
switched on and then go out after a few
seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or lights up while the
engine is running, there is a fault in the
system (air bags, pretensioners etc.).
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)
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.
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 from an approved dealership).
– Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: sit with your arms slightly bent (see Section 1 “Adjusting your driving
position”). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.
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, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In
general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head, etc.).
– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated 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 “Deactivating the front passenger air bags” in Section 1.)

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Side air bags
This air bag is fitted to each of the front
seats and is inflated 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.
Warnings 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 find
out if these covers are sold at approved accessory outlets. The use of
any covers other than those designed for your vehicle (and including those de-
signed 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 internal
fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
– These air bags operate through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never
insert any objects in these slits.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
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.
The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of
the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear your seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the
occupants of the vehicle are at risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. The risk of minor superficial injuries oc-
curring when the air bag is deployed may also increase, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and air bags are not always triggered.
Impacts to the underside of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these systems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air bag system (air bags, pretensioners, compu-
ter, wiring harness, etc.), except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental triggering of the system which may cause injury,
only qualified Network personnel 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 handbook with the vehicle.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the gas generator(s).
