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.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-
tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Impacts to the undersi\
de of the
vehicle, eg. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these s\
ystems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the air
bag system (air bags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except
by qualified personnel from an approved 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 airbag system checked if your vehicle h\
as 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 handbook with the vehicle.
– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal o\
f the gas generator(s).
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructe\
d 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.
Operating faults
This warning light 1 will light up on the
instrument panel when the ignition 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, pretension-
ers, etc.) in the front and/or rear seats.
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (2/3)
Depending on the vehicle, in the event
of a puncture, please use the kit located
in the glovebox.
Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
With the engine running and the
parking brake applied,
– Disconnect any accessories previ- ously connected to the vehicle’s ac-
cessories socket;
– refer to the information on the infla- tion kit compressor and follow the in-
structions;
– inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure (please refer to the infor-
mation in the section on “Tyre pres-
sures”);
– after a maximum of 15 minutes, stop inflating and read the pressure
(on the pressure gauge 2).
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), the
pressure gauge 2 will indicate briefly
a pressure of 6 bar, then the pres-
sure drops;
– Adjust the pressure: to increase it, continue inflation with the kit. To
reduce it, press the button 1.

If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.

5.11
TYRES (2/3)
Pressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the normal
pressures must be increased by 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.Fitting new tyres
Tyre pressuresRespect the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). Check
them at least once a month and before
a long journey (refer to the label on the
edge of the driver’s door).
Please refer to the information on “Tyre
pressures” in Section 4.
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
– poor road holding;
– risk of bursting or tread separa- tion.
The pressure depends on the load
and the speed of use. Adjust the
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures”).
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and lead
to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and profile
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and a speed capacity at
least equal to the original tyres,
or correspond to those recom-
mended by your authorised
dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
