– manual mode;

network available (green light), off if
network not available;
2 Automatic mode warning light;

If the vehicle is equipped with it, the
emergency call is a system that allows
the emergency services to be called
automatically or manually in the event
of an accident or illness, in order to
reduce the time they take to arrive on
the scene.
If you use the emergency call func-
tion to report an accident which you
have witnessed, this implies stopping
where traffic conditions allow to allow
the emergency services to locate your
vehicle and therefore the location of the
reported accident.

ness an accident or if you
feel ill.In the event of an accident,
it is recommended that you
stay close to the vehicle so

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.

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.).

ivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)
