Warning and indicator
lamps
Visual identifiers informing the driver that
a system is in operation, switched off (on/

fault
(warning lamp).
When the ignition is switched on
Certain warning lamps come on for a few
s econds when the ignition is switched on.

Associated warnings
The lighting of certain indicator lamps may
be accompanied by an audible signal and
a
message on the multifunction screen. The warning lamp may come on
continuously (fixed) or flash.
Some warning lamps may have both types
of lighting. Only by relating the type of
illumination to the operating status of the
vehicle can it be ascertained whether the
situation is normal or whether a
fault has
occurred.
Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is
being driven, illumination of one of the following
warning lamps indicates a
fault which requires
action on the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of
a


warning lamp must be investigated
further by reading the associated
message.
If you encounter any problems, contact the
dealer network or a
qualified workshop.

Airbags
General information
This system contributes towards improving the
safety of passengers (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger) in the event of violent
collisions. The airbags supplement the action
of the seat belts fitted with force limiters (all
except the centre rear passenger belt).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-

i
n the event of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the passengers
(with the exception of the rear centre
passenger); immediately after the impact,
the airbags deflate rapidly so that they
do not hinder visibility or the exit of the
passengers,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations. 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.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.
B. Side impact zone. The deployment of an airbag is
accompanied by a
slight emission of
smoke and a noise, due to the detonation
of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in
the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight irritation.
The detonation noise associated with the
deployment of an airbag may result in
a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a
serious front impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the head and
chest.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.

the passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated when you install a "rear ward
facing" child seat on the front passenger
seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.
Reactivating the front
passenger airbag
When you remove the "rear ward facing" child
seat, turn the switch to the ON position to
reactivate the airbag and so assure the safety
of your front passenger in the event of an
impact.
