Instructions
The driver must ensure that the passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they are
all fastened before driving.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as
they will not completely fulfil their role.
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia
reel which allows the strap length to adjust
automatically to your shape. The seat belt is
stowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
The lower part of the strap must be positioned
as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels have an automatic blocking
device at the time of a collision, during
sudden braking or if the vehicle turns over.
You can release the device by pulling the
strap firmly and then releasing it so that it
reels in slightly.In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-
b e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not twist,
-

b
e used to restrain only one person,
-

n
ot show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-

n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
In accordance with current safety regulations,
for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go
to a qualified workshop with the skills and
equipment needed, which the dealer network
is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly in
the dealer network or a qualified workshop,
particularly if the straps show signs of
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or
a textile cleaning product, sold in the dealer
network.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly. Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is
less than 12 years old or shorter than one and
a half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one person.
Never allow a child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats
, refer to
the corresponding section.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of the impact , the pyrotechnic device may
be deployed before and independent of the
airbags. Deployment of the pre-tensioners
is accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt
system checked, and if necessary replaced,
in the dealer network or by a qualified
workshop.

Safety

128
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it for wards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:
-
a r
ear ward facing child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
forward facing.
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position.
For optimal installation of the forward facing
child seat, verify that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle
seat, if possible in contact with it.
Advice
The head restraint must be removed
before installing a child seat with a
backrest on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when
the child seat is removed.
Front seat belts
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag when
a rear ward facing child seat is installed on the
front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs. We recommend using a booster seat with
a backrest equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and unattended in
a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle under the
sun, with the windows closed,
-

t
he keys within the reach of children inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of the
sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
