Seat belt(s) not fastened 
warning lamp
Wherever you are seated in the 
vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, 
even for short journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia 
reel which automatically adjusts the 
length of the strap to your size.
d
o not use accessories (clothes pegs, 
clips, safety pins, etc.) which allow the 
seat belt straps to fit loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in 
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear 
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt 
has reeled in correctly and that the 
buckle is ready to accommodate the 
tongue.

epending on the nature and 
seriousness of any impact, the 
pretensioning device may be deployed 
before and independently of inflation 
of the airbags. It instantly tightens 
the seat belts against the body of the 
occupants.
Deployment of the pretensioners is 
accompanied by a slight discharge 
of harmless smoke and a noise, due 
to the activation of the pyrotechnic 
cartridge incorporated in the system.
The force limiter reduces the pressure 
of the seat belt against the body of the 
occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active 
when the ignition is switched on.
Unfastening
Press the red button.
When the vehicle is started, 
this warning lamp comes on 
if a user at the front has not 
fastened their seat belt.
Good practice
The driver must ensure that 
passengers use the seat belts correctly 
and that they are all strapped in 
securely before moving off.
The height of the seat belt for the 
centre seat of the front bench cannot 
be adjusted.
