SEAT BELTS (3/3)
–   No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally 
fitted restraint system: belts, seats and their mountings. For special o\
p-
erations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes 
pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely may cause inj\
ury 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.
–  Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch\
 as  they could prevent it from being properly secured.
–  Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be \
hidden  away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/3)
Depending on the vehicle, they are 
composed of:
–  seat belt pretensioners;
–  chest-level load limiters;
–  air bags for driver and front pas-senger.
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;
–  the seat belt seat belt pretensioner  to hold the occupant in the seat, and 
the force limiter;
–  the front air bag.–   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.
The passenger air bag protects the 
front passenger(s) (depending on 
whether there is a conventional seat 
or a bench seat in the front).
PretensionersThe 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 switched on, if the 
vehicle is subject to a significant fron-
tal impact the system may, depending 
on the severity of the impact, trigger a 
piston which instantly retracts the belt.
Load limiterAbove a certain level of impact force, 
this mechanism is used to limit the force 
of the belt against the body so that it is 
at an acceptable level.

TRANSPORTING OBJECTS (1/2)
F max: 625 daN
Always position the hea-
viest items directly on the 
floor. Use the lashing points 
on the floor of the luggage 
compartment, if these are fitted to 
the vehicle. The luggage should be 
loaded in such a way that no items 
will be thrown forward and strike the 
occupants if the driver has to brake 
suddenly. Fasten the rear seat belts, 
even if the seats are not occupied.
Transporting objects in the 
rear load area
Depending on the vehicle, securing 
rings  1 and 2  can be used to stop 
transported objects from moving. The 
number of rings and their position may 
vary depending on the vehicle.

The sole purpose of rings  2 is to 
prevent transported objects from 
moving. The objects must be secu-
red to mounting rings  1 on the vehi-
cle floor beforehand.    

4.7
Filling: take care when 
topping up the oil that 
no oil drips onto engine 
components - risk of fire. 
Remember to refit the cap securely 
as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes 
onto hot engine components.
Engine oil change:  if you 
are changing the oil when 
the engine is hot, be careful 
not to scald yourself if the 
oil overflows.
Never run the engine in an 
enclosed space as exhaust 
gases are poisonous.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL : topping up, filling (2/2)
Please note when work-
ing close to the engine that 
it may be hot. In addition, 
the engine cooling fan may 
start at any moment. The 
 
warning light in the engine compart-
ment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved Dealer at 
once if you notice an abnormal or 
repeated drop in any of the fluid 
levels.
Before performing any 
action in the engine com-
partment, the ignition must 
be switched off (please see 
the information on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine” in Section 2).
Exceeding the maximum 
engine oil level
Under no circumstances 
must the maximum fill level 
be exceeded: risk of damage to the 
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum 
level,  do not start your vehicle  and 
contact an approved Dealer.
When working in the engine 
compartment, ensure that 
the windscreen wiper stalk 
is in the park position.
Risk of injury. 

4.16
Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to 
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper” 
in Section 1). Check the mounting of 
external accessories, additional lights 
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper 
blades are secured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your 
vehicle is fitted with this equipment. 
Remember to remove the tape and refit 
the antenna after washing.
Vehicles with a matte paint 
finish
This type of paint requires certain pre-
cautions.
You should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty 
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle 
sponge.
Do not do the following
Use wax-based products (polishing).
Rub too hard.
Wash the vehicle in a roller-type car 
wash.
Attach stickers to the paintwork (risk of 
leaving marks).
Wash the vehicle 
using a high-pressure 
cleaning device.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (3/3)Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic 
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool 
to clean them. If this does not clean 
them properly, moisten the cloth with 
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft 
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry 
cloth.
Do not use cleaning products con-
taining alcohol or utensils (e.g.: a 
scraper).

TOOL KIT
Location of the tool kit
Tool kit 1 is located under the driver’s 
seat.
To remove the tools, move the seat 
forward and fold down the seatback 
(please refer to the information on the 
“Front seats” in Section 1).
Contents of the tool kit(depending on the vehicle)
– hydraulic jack  2;
– towing hitch  3;
– hubcap tool  4;

Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come 
loose under braking. After use, check that all the tools are correctly 
clipped into the tool kit, then position it correctly in its housing: ri\
sk of 
injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, you must only use these bol\
ts for the 
emergency spare wheel: refer to the label affixed to the emergency spare wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel changing purposes only. Under no circumstances 
should it be used for carrying out repairs underneath the vehicle or to \
gain access 
to the underside of the vehicle.
Nothing should be placed 
on the floor area in front of 
the driver as such objects 
may slide under the pedal 
during braking manoeuvres, thus 
obstructing its use.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (4/6)
Affix the driving recommendation label 
to the dashboard where it can easily be 
seen by the driver;
Store the kit underneath the driver’s 
seat.
Start the vehicle immediately in order 
to the distribute the product in the tyre 
and, after 6 miles (10 km) or 10 min-
utes driving, stop to check the pres-
sure. To do this, fit adapter  3 onto the 
tyre valve. If the pressure is less than 
the recommended pressure, adjust it 
(refer to the information on “Tyre pres-
sures”), otherwise contact an approved 
dealer: repair is not possible.Precautions when using the 
kit
–  the kit should not be operated for  more than 15 consecutive minutes;
–  when driving, vibration may be felt  due to the presence of the repair 
product injected into the tyre.
Following repair with the kit, 
do not travel further than 
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and 
under no circumstances exceed 
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker, 
which you must affix in a prominent 
position on the dashboard, reminds 
you of this.
Depending on the country or local 
legislation, a tyre repaired with the 
inflation kit may need to be replaced.
3
Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make 
the tyres less airtight and lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to those fitted originally and tighten t\
hem 
fully.
Nothing should be placed 
around the driver’s feet 
as such objects may slide 
under the pedals during 
sudden braking manoeuvres and 
obstruct their use.
Once the tyre is correctly inflated, 
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation adapter 3  to prevent any prod-
uct spatter and screw the tyre inflation 
hose  4 to the bottle opening 2  to pre-
vent the product from escaping.
