Instructions
The driver must ensure that the passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they are
all fastened before driving.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not completely fulfil their role.
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia
reel which allows the strap length to adjust
automatically to your shape. The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be positioned
as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels have an automatic blocking
device at the time of a collision, during
sudden braking or if the vehicle turns over.
You can release the device by pulling the
strap firmly and then releasing it so that it
reels in slightly.In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-
b e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not twist,
-

b
e used to restrain only one person,
-

n
ot show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-

n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety regulations,
for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go
to a qualified workshop with the skills and
equipment needed, which the dealer network
is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly in
the dealer network 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 in the dealer
network.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly. Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shorter than one and
a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats
, refer to
the corresponding section.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact , the pyrotechnic device may
be deployed before and independent of the
airbags. Deployment of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
in the dealer network or by a qualified
workshop.

Instructions
For the airbags to be fully effective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object...), nor fix
or attach anything close to or in the way of
the airbag release trajectory; this could cause
injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag systems must be
per formed in the dealer network or by a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries
in case of airbag deployment.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment of the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact the
dealer network.
Do not attach anything to or hang anything
from the seat backrests (clothes, etc.) as
this could cause injuries to the thorax or arm
when the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary. The vehicle's front door panels include side
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or
incorrectly executed work (modification or
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim
could compromise the operation of these
sensors – risk of malfunction of the lateral
airbags!
Such work must only be done in the dealer
network or by a qualified workshop.
Curtain airbags
Do not attach anything or hang anything to
the roof, as this could cause head injuries
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.
