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.

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.

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).
