METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/3)
Driver and passenger front
airbags
It is fitted to the front seats on the driv-
er’s side and, depending on the vehicle,
on the passenger’s side as well.
Depending on the vehicle, an “air bag”
marking on the steering wheel and the
dashboard (air bag area A) indicates
that this device is fitted.
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 monitor- ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
– a special
å tell-tale light;
– remote sensors. Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
If a severe frontal impact occurs, the
air bag(s) inflate rapidly, thus cushion-
ing the impact of the driver’s head and
chest on the steering wheel and those
of the passenger on the dashboard;
the air bag(s) then deflate immediately
after the impact to prevent the occu-
pants from being impeded in any way
when leaving the vehicle.
A
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.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/3)
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructe\
d in any way when it is deployed and also to pre-
vent the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged\
when the air bag deploys.
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 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)

1.70
Deactivating the front
passenger air bag
(depending on the vehicle)
Yo u must deactivate the passenger
airbag before fitting a child seat on the
front passenger seat.
To deactivate the air bag: with the
vehicle stopped and the ignition off,
press and turn lock 2 to the OFF posi-
tion. With the ignition on, you
must check
that the warning light 1 ¹ is lit on
the dashboard and, depending on the
vehicle, that the message “Passenger
airbag off” is displayed.
This light remains permanently lit to
let you know that you can fit a child
seat.

The front passenger airbag
must also be deactivated
when a forward-facing child
seat is installed in the front
passenger seat.
The passenger air bag must
only be deactivated or acti-
vated with the ignition off.
If it is interfered with when
the vehicle is being driven, indicator
lights
å and © will come
on.
Switch the ignition off then on again

CHILD SAFETY: deactivating, activating the front passenger air bag (2/3)
The markings on the dashboard and
labels A on each side of the passen-
ger sun visor 3 (for example, the labels
shown above) will remind you of these
instructions.

DANGER
Since operation of the front
passenger airbag is not
compatible with the position
of a rear-facing child seat, NEVER
fit a restraint system for a rear-fac-
ing child in a seat protected by an
ACTIVATED front AIRBAG . This
can cause the CHILD’S DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY.

1.72
Operating faultsIn the event that the front passenger air
bag activation/deactivation system is
faulty, child seats must not be fitted to
the front seat.
Allowing any other passenger to sit in
that seat is not recommended.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.Activation of the front
passenger air bag
You should reactivate the air bag as
soon as you remove the child seat from
the front passenger seat to ensure the
protection of the front passenger in the
event of an impact.
To reactivate the air bag: with the
vehicle stopped and the ignition off,
press and turn lock 2 to the ON posi-
tion.
With the ignition on, you must check
that the warning light 1
¹ is not lit
up on the dashboard.

The passenger air bag must
only be deactivated or acti-
vated when the vehicle
is stationary. If it is inter-
fered with when the vehicle is being
driven, indicator lights
å and
© will come on. Switch the ig-
nition off then on again to reset the
air bag in accordance with the lock
position.
1DANGER
Since operation of the front
passenger airbag is not
compatible with the position
of a rear-facing child seat, NEVER
fit a restraint system for a rear-fac-
ing child in a seat protected by an
ACTIVATED front AIRBAG . This
can cause the CHILD’S DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY.

2.37
VEHICLE WITH OVERSPEED FUNCTION
The vehicle speed may be permanently
set at a fixed value depending on the
vehicle or on local legislation.
To adjust the value or activate/deacti-
vate the function, consult an approved
dealer.
In the event of statutory limits (depend-
ing on the vehicle), this function may
not be deactivated.
Label 1 attached to the dashboard
shows the speed limit. Special case:
if your vehicle is fitted
with the Cruise control/Speed limiter,
fully depressing the accelerator pedal
(beyond the kickdown point) will not
allow you to exceed the overspeed
function set speed (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Speed limiter” in Section 2).
In exceptional circumstances (e.g.
steep gradient), the overspeed
function speed may be exceeded
slightly as the function does not
affect the braking system.
The function does not take
the place of the driver.
Under no circumstances
should it replace observa-
tion of speed limits nor vigilance
and responsibility on the part of the
driver.

SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (5/5)
Load position
When the vehicle is driven loaded,
press the 6 switch on the dashboard.
The indicator light
§ on the instru-
ment panel will light up.
Load mode is deselected every time
the engine is switched off. It will be nec-
essary to select it again.
Load mode may be used to equal effect
in both automatic and manual modes.

Bleep– If you hold the vehicle on a slope for too long without applying the
brakes or handbrake, you will strain
the system (risk of overheating the
clutch).
In this case, an intermittent beep- ing sound will remind you that you
should put your foot on the brake
pedal or apply the handbrake.
– Never leave the vehicle with the engine running when in gear. For
safety reasons you will hear an in-
termittent beeping sound when you
open the door if you have not shifted
into neutral or you have not switched
off the ignition or depressed the
brake pedal.
Special circumstances
On a slippery surface or surface with
little grip, change to manual mode
(A/M) and select second gear before
accelerating to avoid wheelspin.
Operating faults
i
If this warning light comes on
when the vehicle is in motion , it
indicates a fault in the system. In most
cases, you may still drive the vehicle,
although it will not function perfectly.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
Towing a vehicle with a sequential
gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
– switch on the ignition;
– select neutral with the brake pedal
depressed;
– check that the gearbox is in neutral (by pushing the vehicle, for exam-
ple).
If you cannot find neutral you must tow
the vehicle with the front wheels raised.
The vehicle should always be towed
with the ignition switched off.
