the rear seats/bench seats are fitted with
three-point seat belts and inertia reels.
t

he centre seat has a seat belt guide and
inertia reel, solid with the seat back.
A carrier is provided at each outer seat to
allow the seat belt buckle to be secured
when not in use.
Good practice
the driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.

which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which allow the seat belt
straps to fit loosely.
You can unfasten the seat belt by pressing
the red button on the buckle.
g uide the seat

dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of an impact
Only for the front seats, and depending on


the nature and seriousness of the 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.
t

he force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt against the body of the occupants.
t

he pyrotechnic pretensioners are active
when the ignition is switched on and the
seat belt fastened.

GEnErAL P o I nt S on AI r BAGS
the airbags have been designed to optimise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
a serious collision; they work in conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:
-

in the event of a serious collision, the

airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection of
occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags rapidly
deflate so as to not hinder visibility or
the possible exit by the occupants,
-

in the event of a less serious impact,

an impact to the rear and in certain
conditions of rollover, the airbags are not deployed; the seat belts alone contribute
towards providing protection in these
situations.
Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on.Front airbags
these are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for
the front passengers.
t

hey are deployed,
except the passenger's airbag if it has been
deactivated.
Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, resulting from the
activation of the pyrotechnic charge included
in the system.
t

his smoke is not harmful but may be an
irritant to sensitive persons.
t

he noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time.

Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5
litres.
For access to the reservoir filler cap, pull on
the telescopic filler pipe and unclip the cap.
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an alcohol or
methanol based fluid is recommended.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a P

as soon as possible.
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine
has stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
For access to the header tank filler cap,
remove the protective cover by turning its
three fixing screws a quarter turn.
