Locking the seats
When a person, an object or a child
seat prevents the front seats from lock-
ing, perform the following operations:
–

a
sk all of the passengers to leave
the vehicle and remove any bulky
objects from the rear seats;
–

lock
the seat(s) in the initial position
again;
–

move
the seat(s) forwards in order to
create sufficient space;
–

ask
the passengers to get back into
the vehicle, and refit the child seat or
objects on the rear seats.
special note : if the seatback is
tilted over the rear bench seat, only
use control

3
to return it to the driv-
ing position.
Never use handle

1
as it is not de-
signed for this purpose: there is a
risk of damage to the mechanism.

Additional methods of restraint:
to the front seat belts
mETHOds Of REsTRAINT IN AddITION TO THE fRONT sEAT BELTs (1/4)
Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:
–

s
eat belt inertia reel pretension-
ers;
–

lap belt pretensioners;
–


chest-level load limiters;
–


anti-submarining air bags;
–


a
ir bags for driver and front pas-
senger.
These systems are designed to act in-
dependently or together when the vehi-
cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
–

seat belt locking;
–


the
seat belt inertia reel pretensioner
(which engages to correct seat belt
slack);
–

the low volume front air bag;
–


t
he lap seat belt pretensioners to
hold the occupant in his seat;
–

the large volume front air bag.
pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in-
creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
In the event of a severe frontal impact
and if the ignition is switched on, the
system may engage the following de-
pending on the force of the impact:
–
s
eat belt inertia reel pretensioner
1

which instantly retracts the seat belt;
–

t
he lap pretensioner
2

on the front
seats.
– Have the entire restraint system checked following
an accident.
–

N
o operation whatso-
ever is permitted on any part of
the system (pretensioners, air
bags, computers, wiring) and the
system components must not
be reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.
–

T

o avoid incorrect triggering of
the system which may cause
injury, only qualified personnel
from an approved dealer may
work on the pretensioner and air
bag system.
–

T

he electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
–

W

hen the vehicle is scrapped,
contact an approved dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
air bag gas generators.

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.
Anti-submarining air bag
Located on each of the front seats, it
deploys in order to prevent the occu-
pant from sliding under the seat belt.
Air bags for driver and front
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
Depending on the vehicle, the pres-
ence of this equipment is indicated
by the word “Airbag” on the steering
wheel, dashboard (air bag zone
A) and
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.
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;
–

remote sensors;
–


a
single warning light
å on the
instrument panel.
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.

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 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.
special feature of the front air
bag
After a violent impact, it has two deploy-
ment volumes and integrates a ventila-
tion system:
–

small
volume air bag, this is the first
stage of operation;
–

l
arge volume air bag, the air bag
seams rip so that a larger volume of
gas is released into the bag (for the
most severe impacts).

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 holde
r, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
–

The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified
personnel from 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, telephon
e holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
–

Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passen
ger (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 (knee\
s, 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.

Warnings concerning the anti-submarining air bag
Do not let a child under the age of 12 sit in this seat. When triggered, the anti-submarining air bag may project objects left on
the seat base with a great deal of force.
Risk of serious injury.
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.

Coolant
With the engine switched off and on
level ground, the level when cold must
be between the “MINI" and "MAXI"
marks on coolant reservoir

1
.
Top this level up when cold before it
reaches the MINI mark. Checking intervals
Check the coolant level regularly
(very severe damage is likely to be
caused to the engine if it runs out of
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
–

protection against freezing;
–

a
nticorrosion protection of the cool-
ing system.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
1Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
