For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
We would advise you not to recline
the seatbacks too far to ensure that
the effectiveness of the seat belts is
not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as such
objects may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.
Heated seats
With the ignition on:
– pressing the switch 4 on the required
seat for the first time activates the
heating system at maximum power.
Both integrated switch warning lights come on;
– a second press decreases the heat- ing to minimum power. One inte-
grated warning light comes on;
– pressing for the third time turns the heating off.

Heated seats
With the ignition on,
– depending on the vehicle pressing the switch 4 or 5 on the required seat for the first time activates the heating
system at maximum power.
Both integrated switch warning lights come on;
– a second press decreases the heat- ing to minimum power. One inte-
grated warning light comes on;
– pressing for the third time turns the heating off.
Ventilated seats
Ventilation seats work on the princi-
ple of absorbing and exporting the air
in the passenger compartment without
using the vehicle’s air conditioning and
heating functions. For the best perform-
ance, you are advised to use this func-
tion with air conditioning switched on. With the ignition on:
– pressing the switch
6 on the re-
quired seat for the first time activates
the ventilation system at maximum
power. Both integrated switch warn-
ing lights come on;
– a second press decreases the ven- tilation to minimum power. One inte-
grated warning light comes on;
– a third press switches off ventilation.
Note: if you switch off the engine and
restart it, the ventilation or heating func-
tion will be off.

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.
Front airbags for driver and
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in-
dicated by the word “Air bag” on the
steering wheel and dashboard (air bag
zone A) and, depending on the vehicle,
a symbol on the lower section of the
windscreen.
Each air bag 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 monito- ring which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– a single
å warning light on the
instrument panel.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
A
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will generate
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 re-
quired, it will inflate immediately and
this may cause some minor, superfi-
cial grazing to the skin or other pro-
blems.

Operating faults
This warning light å 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 light up when the ignition
is switched on, or comes on when the
engine is running, there is a fault in the
system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.
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.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)
Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.
– Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel f\
rom our Network).
– When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your \
arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting
your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder\
, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umb\
rella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as t\
here is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knee\
s, hands, head, etc.).
– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be react\
ivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.
A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.
(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating \
the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)
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.
Page 39 of 332

1.33
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both t\
he
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 seat belts\
are not
worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the eve\
nt
of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injur\
ies occurring
when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always pos\
sible
with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however\
severe,
the pretensioners and airbags are not always triggered. Impacts to the u\
nderside
of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger\
these sys-
tems.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the airbag system (airbags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except
by qualified Network personnel.
– 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 airbag 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).
All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag is not obstructed in any
way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries\
caused
by items which may be dislodged when it inflates.Operating faults
å This warning light comes on
when the engine is started and then
goes out after approximately three se-
conds.
If it does not come on when the ignition
is switched on or if it stays on, there is a
fault in the system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.
Your protection will be reduced until this
fault is rectified.
