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. 

1.32
Side air bags(depending on vehicle)
This air bag may be fitted to each of the 
front seats and is activated at the sides 
of the seats (door side) to protect the 
occupants in the event of a severe side 
impact.
Curtain air bags (depending on vehicle)
These air bags may be fitted along the 
top of each side of the vehicle and are 
triggered along the front and rear side 
windows to protect the passengers in 
the event of a severe side impact.
Warnings concerning the side air bag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers spe-
cifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an authorised dealer to fin\
d 
out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those 
designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle\
) may 
affect the operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.
–  Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback,\
 the  door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items\
 such as 
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly 
or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
–  No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or int\
ernal  fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
–  These airbags operate through slits in the front seatbacks (door side)\
: Never  place any objects here.
Depending on the vehicle, a mark-
ing on the windscreen informs you 
of the presence of additional means 
of restraint (airbags, pretensioners, 
etc.) in the passenger compartment.
SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES 

1.33
The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both \
the air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection 
system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times. If se\
at belts 
are not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in\
 
the event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superfi\
cial injuries 
occurring when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are\
 always 
possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-
tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Impacts to the undersi\
de of the 
vehicle, eg. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these s\
ystems.
–  No work or modification  whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air 
bag system (air bags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except 
by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.
–  To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidenta\
l trig- gering of the system which may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel 
may work on the air bag system.
–  As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle \
has  been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.
–  When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and\
 hand  over this handbook with the vehicle.
–  When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal o\
f the  gas generator(s).
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
Operating faults
Warning light  1 will light up on the in-
strument panel when the ignition is 
turned on and then go out after a few 
seconds.
If it does not come on when the ignition 
is switched on, or if it comes on when 
the engine is running, there is a fault 
with the system (air bags, pretension-
ers, etc.) in the front and/or rear seats.
Contact your approved dealer as soon 
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

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.

Deactivating the front 
passenger airbag
(on equipped vehicles)
Yo u  must deactivate the passenger 
airbag before fitting a child seat on the 
front passenger seat. To deactivate the airbag: with the ve-
hicle stopped and the ignition off,
 
press and turn the lock 1  to the OFF 
position.
With the ignition on, you  must check 
that warning light  2 is lit on the central 
display and, depending on the vehicle, 
that the message “passenger air bag 
off” is displayed.
Note: on equipped vehicles, the side 
air bag is also deactivated.
This light remains permanently lit to 
let you know that you can fit a child 
seat.
CHILD SAFETY: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag (1/3)
The passenger air bag must 
only be deactivated or acti-
vated with the  ignition off.
If it is interfered with when 
the vehicle is being driven, indicator 
lights 
å and © will come 
on.
Switch the ignition off then on again 
to reset the air bag in accordance 
with the lock.

vated with the ignition off.

lights 
å and © will come 
on.
Switch the ignition off then on again

Operating faults
If the front passenger airbag activation/
deactivation system is faulty, child seats 
must not be fitted to the front seat.
Allowing any other passenger to sit in 
that seat is not recommended.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon 
as possible.
Activation of the front 
passenger air bag
You should reactivate the air bag as 
soon as you remove the child seat from 
the front passenger seat to ensure the 
protection of the front passenger in the 
event of an impact.
To reactivate the airbag: with the ve-
hicle stopped and the ignition off,  
press and turn the lock  1 to the ON po-
sition.
With the ignition on, you  must ensure 
that warning light  2 is off.
The front passenger seat belt additional 
restraint systems are activated.

DANGER
Since operation of the front 
passenger airbag is not 
compatible with the position 
of a rear-facing child seat,  NEVER 
fit a restraint system for a rear-fac-
ing child in a seat protected by an 
ACTIVATED front AIRBAG . This 
can cause the CHILD’S  DEATH or 
SERIOUS INJURY.
