For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
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.
To tilt the seatback
Depending on the vehicle, activate con-
trol 1 or 2 and tilt the seatback to the
desired position.
2
We would advise you not
to recline the seatbacks too
far to ensure that the effec-
tiveness of the seat belts is
not reduced.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)
1
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
– No operation whatso-
ever is permitted on any part
of the system (pretensioners,
airbags, 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
airbags gas generators.Depending on the vehicle, they will con-
sist of:
– front seat belt inertia reel preten-sioners;
– chest-level load limiters;
– airbags – Driver and passenger
front.
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 inertia reel pretensioner (which engages to correct seat belt
slack);
– the airbags.
Pretensioners
The 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 on, following a signif-
icant frontal impact and depending on
the severity of the impact, the system
may trigger the seat belt inertia reel
pretensioner 1, which instantly retracts
the seat belt.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operating faults
This warning light 2 å will light up
on the instrument panel when the igni-
tion 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.
2
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the airbags
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.
