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.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
Operating faults
Indicator light 1, å, lights up when
the ignition is switched on and goes 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.
1
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. Shocks to the underbod\
y of the
vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these \
systems.
– 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 air bag system checked if your vehicle \
has 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 driver’s 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 air bag 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 the air bag inflates.

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.
CHILD SAFETY: deactivating, activating the front passenger air bag (1/3)

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
to reset the air bag in accordance
with the lock.

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.
CHILD SAFETY: deactivating, activating the front passenger air bag (3/3)

2
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.
