METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/3)
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
If a severe frontal impact occurs, the
airbag inflates rapidly, cushioning the
impact of the driver’s head and chest
against the steering wheel; the airbag
then deflates immediately after impact
so that the vehicle can be exited with-
out hindrance. 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 in-
juries caused by items which may be
dislodged when the air bag inflates.
Warnings concerning the
driver’s air bag
– Do not modify the steer-
ing 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 holder,
etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified per-
sonnel from our Network).
– Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: sit with your
arms slightly bent (see Section 1
“Adjusting your driving position”).
This will allow sufficient space
for the air bag to deploy correctly
and to be fully effective.

1.23
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
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.
The airbags are not always triggered if the vehicle overturns or in the \
event of a
rear impact, however severe. Impacts to the underside of the vehicle (s\
uch as
from a pavement or stones, etc.) can cause this system to be triggered.\
– Any work or modification to any part of the airbag system (airbags, ECU\
, wiring, etc.) is prohibited (except by qualified personnel from an authorised 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 driver’s handbook with the vehicle.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved dealer for disposal o\
f the gas generator(s).
Operating faults
This warning light 1 å will light up
on the instrument panel when the igni-
tion is switched 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 (airbags, etc.) in the
front seats.
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.
1All 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.
