SEAT BELTS (1/6)

Always wear your seat belt when trav-

elling in your vehicle. You must also

comply with the legislation of the par-

ticular country you are in.

Before starting, first adjust your driv-

ing position, then ask all occupants

to adjust their seat belts to ensure

optimum protection.

Adjusting your driving position

(depending on the vehicle)

1

– Sit well back in your seat (having

removed your coat or jacket etc.).

This is essential to ensure your back

is positioned correctly;

– adjust the distance between the

seat and the pedals. Your seat

should be as far back as possible

while still allowing you to depress

the clutch pedal fully. The seatback

should be adjusted so that your arms

are slightly bent when you hold the

steering wheel;

Make sure that the rear bench seat

is locked in position correctly so that

the rear seat belts will operate effi-

ciently. Refer to the information on

the “Rear bench seat: functions” in

Section 3.

2

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the

seatback.

– adjust the position of your head-

rest. For the maximum safety, your

head must be as close as possible to

the headrest;

Incorrectly adjusted or

twisted seat belts may

cause injuries in the event

of an accident.

The shoulder strap 1 should be as close

as possible to the base of the neck but

not on it.

– adjust the height of the seat. This

adjustment allows you to select the

seat position which offers you the

best possible view;

– adjust the position of the steering

wheel.

Lap belt 2 must be worn flat over the

thighs and against the pelvis. The seat

belt must be worn as close to the body

as possible. i.e.: avoid wearing heavy

clothing or keeping bulky objects under

the belts, etc.

Use one seat belt per person,

whether child or adult.

Even pregnant women should wear

a seat belt. In this case, ensure that

the lap belt is not exerting too much

pressure on the abdomen, but do

not allow any slack.

SEAT BELTS (6/6)

The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fitted restraint system: seat belts, seats and

their mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats), contact an authorised dealer.

– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too

loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.

– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.

– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around

them.

– The belt should never be twisted.

– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as

they show any signs of wear.

– When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used prop-

erly.

– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.

– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly se-

cured.

– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob-

jects).

SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following

an accident.

– No operation whatsoever

is permitted on any part of the

system (air bags, electronic con-

trol units, wiring) and the system

components must not be reused

on any other vehicle, even if iden-

tical.

– To avoid premature triggering

of the system which may cause

injury, only qualified Network per-

sonnel are authorisedto work on

the methods of restraint in addi-

tion to the front seat belt.

Depending on the vehicle, they are

composed of:

– The electric trigger system may

only be tested by a specially

trained technician using special

equipment.

– chest force limiters;

– front airbags for driver and front

passenger.

These systems are designed to act in-

dependently or together when the vehi-

cle is subjected to a frontal impact.

– When the vehicle is scrapped,

contact an approved dealer for

disposal of the pretensioner and

airbag gas generators.

Depending on the severity of the

impact, the system can trigger:

– seat belt locking;

– airbag and force limiter.

SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)

Load limiter

Each air bag system consists of:

–

an airbag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for the driver

and, depending on the vehicle, in the

dashboard for the front passenger;

Above a certain severity of impact, this

mechanism is used to limit the force of

the belt against the body so that it is at

1

an acceptable level.

– an electronic unit for system monitor-

ing which controls the gas generator

electrical trigger system;

– a single warning light

– remote sensors.

å

;

Driver’s and passenger air

bags

They are fitted on the driver’s side and,

depending on the vehicle, on the pas-

senger side.

Depending on the vehicle, the pres-

ence of this equipment is indicated by

the word “airbag” on the steering wheel

and dashboard (airbag zone 1) and

a symbol on the lower section of the

windscreen.

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.

An air bag may inflate immediately,

causing some minor, superficial

grazing to the skin or other discom-

fort.

SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)

Operation

This system is only operational when

the ignition is switched on.

If a severe frontal impact occurs, the

air bag(s) inflate(s) rapidly, cushion-

ing the impact of the driver’s head and

chest against the steering wheel and

the front passenger’s head against the

dashboard. The air bag then deflates

immediately so that the passengers are

not impeded in any way when they get

out of the vehicle.

SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)

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.

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.

– You must not remove the steering wheel (such work must only be performed by trained personnel from 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 inflate properly 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 in the proximity of the air bag

housing.

– Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umbrella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).

– The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as there is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In

general, all parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knees, hands, head etc.).

– The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be reactivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure

the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.

IT IS PROHIBITED TO FIT A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE

RESTRAINT SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT HAVE BEEN DEACTIVATED.

(Refer to the information on “Child safety: front passenger airbag deactivation/activation” Section 1).

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Side air bags

These air bags may be fitted to the front

seats and are deployed at the sides of

the seats (door side) to protect the oc-

cupants in the event of a severe side

impact.

Warnings concerning the side air bag

– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers spe-

cifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an authorised dealer to find

out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those

designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle) may

affect the operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.

– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback, the

door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items such as

clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly

or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or internal

fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

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.

The air bag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. The air

bag and the seat belt are integral parts of the same protection system. It

is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat 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 superficial injuries occurring

when the air bag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always possible

with air bags.

1

If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-

tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Impacts to the underside 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

driver or passenger air bag system (air bag, electronic unit, wiring, etc.), except

by qualified personnel from our Network.

Operating faults

This warning light 1 will light up on the

instrument panel when the ignition is

switched on and then go out after a few

seconds.

– To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental trig-

gering of the system which could cause injury, only qualified personnel from

our Network 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.

If it does not come on when the ignition

is switched on, or if it comes on when

the engine is running, there is a fault

with the system (air bags, pretension-

ers, etc.) in the front and/or rear seats.

– When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand

over this handbook with the vehicle.

– When scrapping your vehicle, contact an approved Dealer for advice on dis-

posing of the gas generator and air bags.

Contact an authorised dealer as soon

as possible. The efficiency of protection

will be reduced until this fault is recti-

fied.

CHILD SAFETY: general information (2/3)

Using a child seat

Set a good example by always fas-

tening your seat belt and teaching

your child:

– to strap themselves in correctly;

– to always get in and out of the car

at the kerb, away from busy traf-

fic.

The level of protection offered by the

child seat depends on its ability to re-

strain your child and on its installation.

Incorrect installation compromises the

protection it offers the child in the event

of harsh braking or an impact.

Before purchasing a child seat, check

that it complies with the regulations for

the country you are in and that it can

be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap-

proved dealer to find out which seats

are recommended for your vehicle.

Do not use a second-hand child

seat or one without an instruction

manual.

Check that there are no objects in

the vicinity of the child seat which

could impede its operation.

Before fitting a child seat, read the

manual and respect its instructions. If

you experience any difficulties during

installation, contact the manufacturer

of the equipment. Keep the instructions

with the seat.

Never leave a child unat-

tended in the vehicle.

Check that your child is

always strapped in and that

the belt or safety harness used is

correctly set and adjusted. Avoid

wearing bulky clothing which could

cause the belts to slacken.

Never let your child put their head or

arms out of the window.

Check that the child is in the correct

position for the entire journey, espe-

cially if asleep.

Rear-facing child seats

Forward-facing child seats

Booster cushions

A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier

than that of an adult and its neck is very

fragile. Transport the child in this po-

sition for as long as possible (until the

age of 2 at the very least). It supports

the head and neck. Choose a bucket

type seat for better side protection and

replace it as soon as the child’s head

extends past the seat shell.

The child’s head and abdomen need to

be protected as a priority. A forward-fac-

ing child seat which is firmly attached to

the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact

to the head. Ensure your child travels in

a forward-facing seat with a harness for

as long as their size permits. Choose

a wrap-around seat for better side pro-

tection.

From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can

travel using a booster seat, which will

enable the seat belt to be adapted

to suit his/her size and shape. The

booster seat cushion must be fitted with

guides to position the seat belt on the

child’s thighs rather than the stomach.

It is recommended that you use a seat-

back fitted with a belt strap guide which

can be adjusted in terms of height to

position the seat belt in the centre of

the shoulder. It should never rest on the

neck or over the arm. Choose a bucket

type seat for better side protection.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/7)

Some seats are not suitable for fitting

child seats. The diagram on the follow-

ing page shows you how to attach a

child seat.

In the front seat

After installing the child seat, if neces-

sary, the seat may be advanced (so as

to leave enough space in the rear seats

for passengers or other child seats).

For a rear-facing child seat, do not let

it touch the dashboard or move it to the

furthest forward position.

The laws concerning children travel-

ling in the front passenger seat differ in

every country. Consult the legislation in

force and follow the indications on the

diagram on the following page.

The types of child seats indicated may

not be available. Before using a differ-

ent child seat, check with the manufac-

turer that it can be fitted.

Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if

authorised):

Do not change other settings after in-

stalling the child seat.

– deactivate the front passenger air

bag;

– lower the seat belt as far as possible;

– move the seat as far back as possi-

ble;

Fit the child seat in a rear

seat wherever possible.

– gently tilt the seatback away from

vertical (approximately 25°);

Check that when installing

the child seat in the vehicle

it is not at risk of coming loose from

its base.

– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat

base as far as possible.

In all situations, reinsert the headrest to

its full extent so that it does not interfere

with the child seat (see the information

on “Front headrests” in Section 1);

If you have to remove the headrest,

check that it is correctly stored so

that it does not come loose under

harsh braking or impact.

Always attach the child seat to the

vehicle even if it is not in use so that

it does not come loose under harsh

braking or impact.

RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY: Before

installing a child seat on

this seat, check that the

airbag has been deactivated (refer

to “Front passenger airbag deacti-

vation” in Section 1).

The distance appears on the display for approximately 8 seconds when

the ignition is switched on as soon as the distance is less than or equal to

1000 miles.

The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.

Note: depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies according to the driving style (frequent driving at low

speed, door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idle speed, towing a trailer etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change

can therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance travelled.

The oil change intervals are independent of the vehicle’s maintenance schedule: please refer to your vehicle’s maintenance

document.

Resetting: to reset the mileage before an oil change, press and hold the display reset button for approximately 10 seconds until

the display shows the range permanently.

cific to the vehicle type. If

you have to replace it, make

sure the new cap is of the

same type. Contact an approved

dealer.

Use a high-grade fuel that complies

with the legislation in force in each

country. It must conform to the specifi-

cations given on label B inside the fuel

filler flap.

Refer to the “Engine specifications”

table in Section 6.

Never place the cap near a source

of heat or flame.

Do not wash the filler area with a

high-pressure washer.

Diesel versions

It is essential to use diesel fuel that

conforms to the specifications given on

the label inside fuel flap B.

Petrol and diesel versions

Capacity of the fuel tank: 50 litres ap-

proximately.

The cap A can be unlocked with the ig-

nition key.

Do not mix even small

amounts of petrol (un-

leaded or E85) with diesel.

For details on filling the fuel tank, refer

to the information on “Filling with fuel”.

There is a cap holder 1 on the fuel filler

FUEL TANK (2/5)

Petrol version

Filling up with petrol or diesel

With the ignition off, insert the nozzle to

open the valve and insert it fully before

turning it on to fill the fuel tank (risk of

splashing).

It is essential to use unleaded petrol.

The octane rating (RON) should match

the information given on the label B lo-

cated inside the fuel filler flap.

Keep the nozzle in this position

throughout the entire filling operation.

When the pump cuts out automatically

at the end of the filling procedure, a

maximum of two further filling attempts

may be made, as there must be suffi-

cient space in the fuel tank to allow for

expansion.

Vehicles running on ethanol-based

fuel

Always use unleaded petrol or fuel

containing a maximum of 85 percent

ethanol (E85).

In very cold conditions it may be difficult

or even impossible to start the engine.

To avoid this problem, use unleaded

petrol.

Make sure that no water enters the fuel

tank during filling. The valve and its sur-

round must remain clean.

Note: you may notice an increase in

fuel consumption with this type of fuel.

Persistent fuel odour

If you notice a persistent

fuel odour you should:

Petrol versions

Using leaded petrol will damage the

antipollution system and may lead to a

loss of warranty.

When the fuel is changed the engine

must adjust, which may cause minor in-

conveniences for a few minutes (longer

starting times, cutting out, etc.).

– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-

fic conditions allow and switch off

the ignition;

To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled

with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler

neck contains a restrictor fitted with a

foolproof system which only allows

the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be

used (at the pump).

– switch on the hazard warning

lights and ask your passengers to

leave the vehicle and stay clear

of the traffic;

– contact an approved Dealer.

32 litres.

Filling up with LPG

Engage the handbrake, stop the engine,

switch off the ignition and switch off the

lights.

Always respect the safety instructions

given at filling stations.

When filling the tank, add the desired

quantity of LPG.

When the pump stops delivering LPG,

If service station staff fill your vehicle

with LPG, give them a filling adapter 2,

as supplied in a pouch in the glove box.

At this point, do not attempt to carry on

filling.

If you exceed the LPG tank

capacity when filling com-

pletely, please go to an ac-

credited garage or your

authorised dealer to check the auto-

matic filler device.

IMPORTANT:

The adapter 2 depends on the coun-

try in which the vehicle is sold.

Before travelling to another country,

please consult an authorised dealer.
