SEAT BELTS (1/4)Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
The shoulder strap 1 should be as close
as possible to the base of the neck but
not on it.
The lap belt 2 should be worn flat over
the thighs and against the pelvis.
The seat belt must be worn as close to
the body as possible. E.g.: avoid wear-
ing heavy clothing or keeping bulky ob-
jects under the belts, etc.

Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
Seat belts which are incor-
rectly adjusted or twisted
may cause injuries in the
event of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belts to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving
position
– Sit well back in your seat (having
first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
– Adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to fully de-
press the pedals. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
– adjust the position of your head- rest. For maximum safety, your head
must be as close as possible to the
headrest;
– adjust the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view;
– adjust the position of the steering
wheel.
Make sure that the rear bench seat
is securely locked in position so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in
Section 3.

SEAT BELTS (2/4)
™Front seat belt reminder
warning light
It remains on when the engine
is started if your seat belt is not fas-
tened. When the vehicle reaches a
speed of 12 mph (20 km/h), the warn-
ing light flashes and a buzzer sounds.
Then, the beep sounds at a low volume
for 30 seconds, then at a high volume
for 90 seconds.
Unfastening
Press button 4 and the seat belt will be
rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the
belt.
NB: an object placed on the passen-
ger seat base may activate the warning
light in some cases.

Adjusting the front seat belt
height
Press button 6 to adjust the seat belt
height so that the shoulder strap 1 is
worn as shown previously:
– to lower the seat belt, press button 6 and lower the seat belt at the same
time;
– to raise the seat belt, press button 6 and lift the seat belt to the required
position.
Make sure that the seat belt is locked
in position correctly after you have ad-
justed it.
Locking
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 3 locks into
catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull-
ing on buckle 3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed,
pull slowly, but firmly so that just over
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

SEAT BELTS (4/4)
The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fit\
ted restraint system: belts, seats and their
mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact \
an authorised dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes peg\
s, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too
loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby o\
r child on your lap with your seat belt around them.
– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if neces\
sary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– When the rear bench seat is being put back, make sure that the seat belt\
s and buckles are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch\
as they could prevent it from being properly se- cured.
– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be \
hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob- jects).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/3)
12
Depending on the vehicle, they will con-
sist of:
– seat belt pretensioners;
– front airbags 1 for driver and
front passenger.
These systems are designed to act in-
dependently or together when the vehi-
cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
– seat belt locking 2;
– the seat belt pretensioner (which en- gages to correct seat belt slack);
– the front air bag.
Pretensioners
The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in-
creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
With the ignition on, following a signif-
icant frontal impact and depending on
the severity of the impact, the system
may trigger the seat belt pretensioner
which instantly retracts the seat belt.
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatso-
ever is permitted on any part of
the system (pretensioners, air
bags, computers, wiring) and the
system components must not
be reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.
– To avoid incorrect triggering of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified personnel
from an approved dealer may
work on the pretensioner and air
bag system.
– The electric trigger system may only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
– When the vehicle is scrapped, contact an approved dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
air bag gas generators.

1.42
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/3)
Driver and passenger front
airbags
They are fitted to the front seats on the
driver’s side and, depending on the ve-
hicle, on the passenger’s side as well.
Depending on the vehicle, the pres-
ence of this equipment is indicated by
the word “airbag” on the steering wheel
and dashboard (airbag zone A) and
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.
Each airbag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
– an electronic unit for system monitor- ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– a single indicator light
å on the
instrument panel;
– remote sensors.
A
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact
of the driver’s head and chest against
the steering wheel and of the front pas-
senger against the dashboard. The air
bags then deflate immediately so that
the passengers are not in any way hin-
dered from leaving the vehicle.
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this
mechanism is used to limit the force of
the belt against the body so that it is at
an acceptable level.
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
In a situation where an air bag is
required, it will inflate immediately
and this may cause some minor, su-
perficial grazing to the skin or other
problems.
