SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
Driver’s and passenger air 
bags
These  may  be  provided  for  the  driver 
and the front passenger seats.
The  presence  of  this  equipment  is  in-
dicated  by  the  words  “Air  bag”  on  the 
steering wheel and the dashboard, and 
a label on the base of the windscreen or 
on the sun visor.
Each air bag system consists of:
–
 
a
 n  air  bag  and  gas  generator  fitted 
on  the  steering  wheel  for  the  driver 
and  in  the  dashboard  for  the  front 
passenger;
–
 
an 
 electronic unit for system monitor-
ing which controls the gas generator 
electrical trigger system;
–
 
a special tell-tale light å;
–
 
remote sensors.
Load limiter
Above  a  certain  level  of  impact  force, 
this mechanism is used to limit the force 
of the belt against the body so that it is 
at an acceptable level.
The  air  bag  system  uses 
pyrotechnic  principles.  This 
explains  why,  when  the  air 
bag  inflates,  it  will  gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does 
not mean that a fire is about to start) 
and make a noise upon detonation. 
An  air  bag  may  inflate  immediately, 
causing  some  minor,  superficial 
grazing to the skin or other discom-
fort.

SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operation
This  system  is  only  operational  when 
the ignition is switched on.
If  a  severe  frontal  impact  occurs,  the 
air  bag(s)  inflate(s)  rapidly,  cushion-
ing the impact of the driver’s head and 
chest  against  the  steering  wheel  and 
the  front  passenger’s  head  against  the 
dashboard.  The  air  bag  then  deflates 
immediately so that the passengers are 
not impeded in any way when they get 
out of the vehicle.
Operating faults
Warning  light 1   will  light  up  on  the  in-
strument  panel  when  the  ignition  is 
turned  on  and  then  go  out  after  a  few 
seconds.
If  it  does  not  light  up  when  the  ignition 
is  switched  on,  or  comes  on  when  the 
engine is running, there is a fault in the 
system. In this case, a child seat MUST NOT be 
fitted to the front passenger seat.
Allowing  any  other  passenger  to  sit  in 
that seat is not recommended.
In  these  two  cases,  contact  an  ap-
proved dealer as soon as possible.
The  air  bag  system  uses 
pyrotechnic  principles.  This 
explains  why,  when  the  air 
bag  inflates,  it  will  gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does 
not mean that a fire is about to start) 
and make a noise upon detonation. 
In  a  situation  where  an  air  bag  is 
required,  it  will  inflate  immediately 
and this may cause some minor, su-
perficial grazing to the skin or other 
problems.

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 in-
juries 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.
–
 
Y
ou  must  not  remove  the  steering  wheel  (such  work  must  only  be  performed 
by trained personnel from our Network).
–
 
W
hen  driving,  do  not  sit  too  close  to  the  steering  wheel.  Sit  with  your  arms 
slightly  bent  (see  the  information  on  “Adjusting  your  driving  position”  in 
Section
  1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to inflate properly and 
be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger airbag: location
 
2
–
 
Do 
not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to 
the dashboard in the proximity of the air bag housing.
–
 
D
o  not  place  anything  between  the  dashboard  and  the  passenger  (pet,  um-
brella, 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, all parts of the body should 
be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head etc.).
–
 
Y
ou should reactivate the passenger air bag as soon as you remove the child 
seat to ensure the protection of the front passenger in the event of an \
impact.
IT IS PROHIBITED TO FIT A REAR-FACING CHILD 
SEAT TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE  RESTRAINT SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT 
PASSENGER SEAT BELT HAVE BEEN DEACTIVATED.
(Refer to the information on “Deactivating the frontpassenger air bag” in Section 1).2

CHILD SAFETY:  deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag (2/3)
DANGER
Since  operation  of  the  front 
passenger  air  bag  is  not 
compatible with the position 
of  a  rear-facing  child  seat,  NEVER 
fit a rear-facing child seat on a front 
passenger  seat  with  an  active  front 
air  bag.  The  child  may  suffer  very 
serious  injuries  if  the  air  bag  is  trig-
gered.
The  markings  on  the  dashboard  and 
labels  A  on each side of passenger sun 
blind
 3  
(example:  label  shown  above) 
remind you of these instructions.

T he  passenger  compartment  is  ven-
tilated  by  blown  air.  The  blower  deter-
mines  how  much  air  enters  but  vehicle 
speed has a slight effect on this.
The  further  the  control  is  positioned  to 
the  right,  the  greater  the  amount  of  air 
blown into the passenger compartment.
