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 (1/4)
1
2
Incorrectly adjusted or 
twisted seat belts 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 the 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, i.e.: 
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.
Make sure that the rear bench seat 
is locked in position correctly so that 
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on 
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in 
Section 3.  

1.25
Load 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.
Airbags for driver and front 
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in-
dicated by the word “Air bag” on the 
steering wheel and dashboard (air bag 
zone A) and, depending on the vehicle, 
a symbol on the lower section of the 
windscreen.
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 electronic unit for system monitor- ing which controls the gas generator 
electrical trigger system;
– a single 
å warning light on the 
instrument panel.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
A
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.  

1.26
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operating faults
Warning light 4 å will light up on 
the instrument 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.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon 
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.
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.   

1.27
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).
–  When 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 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, 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 occur. In  general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knee\
s, 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. 

1.51
Power Assisted Steering
Never drive with an inadequately 
charged battery.
Variable power assisted 
steering
The variable power assisted steering 
system is equipped with an electronic 
control system which alters the level of 
assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking 
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst 
the force needed to steer increases 
progressively as the speed rises (for 
enhanced safety at high speeds).
Adjusting the steering wheel 
height and depth
Pull lever 1 and place the steering 
wheel in the required position; push the 
lever beyond the point of resistance to 
lock the steering wheel in place.
Make sure that the steering wheel is 
correctly locked.
For safety reasons, only 
adjust the steering wheel 
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
1
Never switch off the igni-
tion when travelling down-
hill, and avoid doing so in 
normal driving (assistance 
is not provided).
With the engine switched off, or if 
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The 
force required will be greater.
Never leave the steering wheel at 
full lock while stationary.
