METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)
Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:
– seat belt inertia reel pretension-ers;
– central seat belt pretensioners;
– chest-level load limiter;
– air 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 lap belt pretensioners to hold the occupant in his seat;
– the front airbag.
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:
– the seat belt inertia reel preten- sioner 1 which instantly retracts the
seat belt;
– the lap pretensioner 2 on the front
seats.
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No 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.
– To 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.
– The electric trigger system may only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped, contact an approved Dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
air bag gas generators.

DISPLAYS AND INDICATORS (4/4)
Operating faults
In the event of a malfunction (the dis-
play fails to open when the engine is
started, or the display retracts, with the
engine running, following an object im-
pacting the display):
– stop and restart the engine;
or
– from the multifunction screen, change the display opening settings.
If there is still a problem, contact an au-
thorised dealer.
With the display opened or closed,
no object should be placed on it or
in its housing.
Do not use solvents, detergents or
an abrasive cloth to clean the dis-
play.
Only use a microfibre wipe.

button 7 and the engine start/stop
button;
– using control 9, select “Settings”,
“Instrument panel”, then the unit;
– Press the OK button 7 to confirm.
To return to the previous mode, repeat
the same operation.
Vehicles fitted with a navigation
system

With the ignition switched on, the engine not running and
the display set to “Reichweite bis zur Wartung”, press button
OK for approximately 5 seconds to display the mileage before
service (distance or time to the next service). When the distance
value approaches its limit, there are several possible scenarios:
– distance/time remaining less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or
one month : the message “Service due in” is displayed along
with the nearest limit (distance or time);
– range equal to 0 km/miles or service date reached: the
message “Service required” is displayed accompanied by
warning light

The vehicle requires a service as soon as possible.

Resetting: to reset the distance before service, press and hold button 2 for approximately 10 seconds until the display shows
the mileage permanently.
Note: If a service is performed without changing the engine oil, only the mi\
leage before the next service should be reset. In the
event of an oil change, both the distance before the next service and th\
e next oil change should be reset.

With the ignition on, the engine not running and the display

5 seconds to display the mileage before the next service, then
press button 2 to view the mileage before the next oil change
(distance or time remaining before the next service). When the
distance value approaches its limit, there are several possible
scenarios:
– distance/time remaining less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or
one month : the message “Service due in” is displayed, ac-
companied by the nearest term (distance or time);
– range equal to 0 km/miles or service date reached: the
message “Service required” is displayed accompanied by

The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.

Depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies accord\
ing to the driving style (frequent driving at low speed ,
door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idling speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change can
therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance t\
ravelled.
Resetting: to reset the mileage before a service, press and hold button 2 for approximately 10 seconds until the display shows
the range permanently.
Note: If a service is performed without changing the engine oil, only the mi\
leage before the next service should be reset. In the
event of an oil change, both the distance before the next service and th\
e next oil change should be reset.
