authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Front seat belts

The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic pretensioning system and force limiter.This system improves safety in the front seats in the event of a front or side impact. Depending on the severity of the impact, the pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat belts against the body of the occupants.The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are enabled when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving their protection.

Airbags
General information
System designed to help improve the safety of the occupants sitting in the front seats and the rear outer seats, in the event of a violent collision. The airbags supplement the action of the seat belts equipped with a force limiting
system.Electronic detectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones:– In the event of violent impact, the airbags deploy instantly and help better protect the occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly in order not to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the occupants.– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to protect you in these situations.The seriousness of the impact depends on the nature of the obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the moment of collision.
WARNI NG
The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off.This equipment will only deploy once. If a second impact occurs (during the same or a subsequent accident), the airbag will not be deployed again.
Impact detection zones
A.Front impact zone
B.Side impact zone
NOTIC E
When one or more airbags are deployed, the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge incorporated in the system makes a noise and releases a small quantity of smoke.This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experience slight irritation.The detonation noise associated with the deployment of one or more airbags may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
Front airbags

System that protects the driver and front passenger(s) in the event of a serious front impact, limiting the risk of head and chest injury.The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
Deployment
The airbags are deployed (except the front passenger airbag if it has been deactivated) in the event of a serious front impact to all or part of the frontal impact zone A, in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the front towards the rear of the vehicle.The front airbag inflates between the chest and
head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the dashboard, on the passenger side, to cushion their forward movement.

Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle.The lateral airbag inflates between the front occupant's abdomen and head and the
associated door trim panel.
Curtain airbags (Row 2 & 3)
PROACE VERSO
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system that contributes towards greater protection for passengers (with the exception of the centre seats) in the event of a serious side impact, in order to limit the risk of injury to the side of the head.Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle.The curtain airbag inflates between the outer rear passenger and the windows.

Child seats
NOTIC E
The regulations on carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the following recommendations:– In accordance with European regulations, all children under the age of 12 or less than 150 cm (4 ft 11”) tall must travel in approved child seats suited to their weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
– Statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carrying children are the rear seats.– Children weighing less than 9 kg (20 lb) must travel in the "rear facing" position, whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
NOTIC E
It is recommended that children travel on the rear seats of the vehicle:– ‘rear facing’ up to the age of 3,– ‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
WARNI NG
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly positioned and tightened.For child seats with a support leg, ensure that the support leg is in firm and steady contact with the floor.
Advice
WARNI NG
An incorrectly installed child seat compromises the child's safety 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 harness of child seats, 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 the vehicle. If the passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.Remove the head restraint 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 once the child seat has been removed.
WARNI NG
Installing a booster seatThe 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.Use a booster seat with backrest, equipped
with a belt guide at shoulder level.
