Manual control
Using the key
Lock or unlock the driver’s door by in-
serting the key fully into lock 2, and 
turning the key.
For more information on the remote 
controls, refer to the information on the 
“Key, radio frequency remote control: 
use” in Section 1.
Locking the doors manually
Turn screw  3 with the door open (using 
the end of the key) and close the door. 
This means that the doors are then 
locked from the outside.
The doors may then only be opened 
from inside the vehicle or with the key 
for the front doors.
Sliding side door (fuel filler cap 
side)
To prevent the door striking the fuel 
filler nozzle, a mechanical system locks 
it when the fuel filler flap is open.
When the fuel tank has been filled, re-
place the cap in its housing and close 
the flap. The door can now be used.

SEAT BELTS (1/4)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 seat belt must be worn as close to 
the body as possible. E.g.: avoid wear-
ing heavy clothing or keeping bulky ob-
jects under the belts, etc.

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 which are incor-
rectly adjusted or twisted 
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 
removed your coat or jacket etc.). 
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 fully de-
press the clutch pedal. 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 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.
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.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/3)
Air bags for driver and front 
passenger
It is fitted to the front seats on the dri-
ver’s side and, depending on the vehi-
cle, on the passenger’s side as well.
Depending on the vehicle, the pre-
sence of this equipment is indicated 
by the word “air bag” on the steering 
wheel and dashboard (air bag zone A) 
and 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 monito- ring which controls the gas generator 
electrical trigger system;
–  a single indicator light 
å on the 
instrument panel;
– remote sensors.
A
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.
Load limiterAbove 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.
The air bag system uses 
pyrotechnic principles. This 
explains why, when the air 
bag inflates, it will generate 
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 re-
quired, it will inflate immediately and 
this may cause some minor, superfi-
cial grazing to the skin or other pro-
blems.
Vehicle fitted with three 
front seats
The passenger airbag only 
protects the front side pas-
senger; the front centre passenger 
is only protected by the seat belt. 
Please follow the usual safety ins-
tructions (wearing the seat belt).

cident.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/3)
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 cradle, etc.)\
 to the steering wheel boss.
–  The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel f\
rom our Network).
–  Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: sit with your a\
rms slightly bent (see Section 1 “Adjusting your driv ing 
position”). 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 cradle\
, etc.) to the dashboard in the air bag zone.
–  Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (animal, \
umbrella, 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. As a  general rule, keep all body parts (knees, hands, head, etc.) away from\
 the dashboard.
–  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.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly 
seated and strapped in for all journeys. 
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children 
are at risk of specific injuries as their 
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone 
would not provide suitable protection. 
Use an approved child seat and ensure 
you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph 
(50 km/h) is the same as fall-
ing a distance of 10 metres. 
Transporting a child without 
a restraint is the equivalent of allow-
ing him or her to play on a fourth-
floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your 
arms. In the event of an accident, 
you will not be able to keep hold of 
the child, even if you yourself are 
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in 
a road accident, replace the child 
seat and have the seat belts and 
ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
To prevent the doors being 
opened, use the “Child 
safety” device (refer to the 
information on “Opening 
and closing the doors” in Section 1).
Driver’s responsibility 
when parking or stopping 
the vehicle
Never leave an animal, 
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for 
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves 
or to others by starting the engine, 
activating equipment such as the 
electric windows or by locking the 
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, 
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS 
INJURY.
