ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these systems
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations, not
only about the wheels (tyres and rims),
braking and electronic components but
also the assembly and repair procedures
used in the dealer network.
To benefit in full from the effectiveness
of these systems in wintry conditions,
the vehicle must be fitted with four snow
tyres, allowing the vehicle to retain neutral
behaviour on the road.Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of
the seat belt on the passenger’s chest, thus
improving their protection.

warning lamp in the instrument
panel
When the ignition is switched on, this
warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel if the driver and/or the front
passenger have not fastened their seat belt.
Above approximately 12 mph (20 km/h),
this warning lamp flashes for two minutes
accompanied by an audible signal of increasing
volume. Once these two minutes have elapsed,
this warning lamp remains on until the driver
and/or the front passenger fasten their seat belt.
