Safety05
At a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h), these
warning lamps flash, accompanied by an audible
signal for approximately two minutes. After this
time, these warning lamps remain on as long as
the seatbelts are not refastened.
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must
always fasten the seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they will
not fulfil their role properly.
To ensure the proper functioning of the belt
buckles, make sure that there are no foreign
bodies present (e.g. a coin) before fastening.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
At the front, adjusting the position of the
seat belt may require the seat height to be
adjusted.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
– be tigh tened as close to the body as
possible.
–

be pulled in fron
t of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it is not twisted.
–

must only be used t
o secure one person.
–

no
t show signs of tearing or fraying.
–

no
t be changed or modified, in order to avoid
affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5
metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all work on your vehicle's seat
belts, contact a qualified workshop with the
skills and equipment needed, which a dealer is
able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a
dealer or a qualified workshop, particularly if
the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or
a textile cleaning product, sold by dealers.
Airbags
General information
This system is designed to improve the safety
of the occupants of the front seats and the rear
outer seats in the event of a violent collision. The
airbags supplement the action of the seat belts
equipped with a force limiting system.
Electronic detectors record and analyse the
front and side impacts sustained in the impact
detection zones:
–

In the e
vent of violent impact, the airbags
deploy instantly and help better protect the
occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the
impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not
to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the
occupants.
–

In the e
vent of a slight impact, a rear impact
and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags
may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect
you in these situations.
The seriousness of the impact depends on the
nature of the obstacle and the speed of the
vehicle at the moment of collision.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once. If a
second impact occurs (during the same or a
subsequent accident), the airbag will not be
deployed again.

Safety05

►  Move the vehicle's front seat forward and
straighten the backrest so that the legs of the
child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing
child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's front

child seat is as close as possible to the backrest
of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact

"Forward facing"

You must leave the front passenger airbag
active.
"Rearward facing"

deactivated before installing a rearward
facing child seat. Otherwise, the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if the airbag is
deployed.


Warning label - Front passenger airbag

You must comply with the following instruction,
as reminded by the warning label on both sides of
the passenger sun visor:
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
