SEAT BELTS (1/5)

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.

Adjusting your driving

position

– Sit well back in your seat (having

first removed your coat or jacket).

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;

Before starting, first adjust your driv-

ing position, then ask all occupants

to adjust their seat belts to ensure

optimum protection.

Make sure that the rear bench seat

is locked in position correctly so that

the rear seat belts will operate cor-

rectly. ➥ 3.33.

– adjust the position of your head-

rest. For maximum safety, your head

must be as close as possible to the

headrest;

– adjust the height of the seat. This

adjustment allows you to select the

seat position which offers you the

best possible view;

Incorrectly adjusted or

twisted seat belts may

cause injuries in the event

of an accident.

Use one seat belt per person,

whether child or adult.

– adjust the position of the steering

wheel.

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.

1.21

SEAT BELTS (2/5)

Locking

Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly

and ensure that buckle 3 locks into

catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull-

ing on buckle 3).

If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly

before attempting to unwind it again.

1

If your seat belt is completely jammed,

pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over

3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly

before attempting to unwind it again.

rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the

belt.

Shoulder strap 1 should be as close as

possible to the base of the neck but not

on it.

Lap belt 2 should be worn flat over the

thighs and against the pelvis.

The belt should be worn so that it is

as close as possible to your body, i.e.:

avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-

ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

SEAT BELTS (5/5)

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 the rear bench seat is being put back, make sure that the seat belts and buckles are correctly positioned so that they

can be used properly.

– 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 secured.

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

jects).

1.25

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/6)

Depending on the vehicle, they are

composed of:

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following

an accident.

– seat belt inertia reel pretension-

ers;

– No operation whatsoever

is permitted on any part of the

system (airbag, electronic units,

wiring) and the system compo-

nents must not be reused on any

other vehicle, even if identical.

– chest force 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.

– 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 severity of the

impact, the system can trigger:

1

– seat belt locking;

– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner

(which engages to correct seat belt

slack);

Pretensioners

– The electric trigger system may

only be tested by a specially

trained technician using special

equipment.

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.

– the airbag and force limiter.

– When the vehicle is scrapped,

contact an approved dealer for

disposal of the gas generators for

the pretensioners and airbags.

Load limiter

In the event of a severe frontal impact

and if the ignition is switched on, the

system may engage the following de-

pending on the force of the impact:

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

an acceptable level.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/6)

Each airbag system consists of:

– an airbag and gas generator are

driver and in the dashboard for the

passenger;

– an electronic unit for system monitor-

ing which controls the gas generator

Airbags

Fitted to the driver and passenger

sides.

The presence of this equipment is indi-

cated by the word “Airbag” on the steer-

ing wheel, dashboard (in the airbag 1

area) and, depending on the vehicle,

on a label on the lower section of the

windscreen.

The airbag system uses py-

rotechnic principles. This

explains why, when the

airbag inflates, it will gener-

ate heat, produce smoke (this does

not mean that a fire is about to start)

and make a banging noise. In a situ-

ation where an airbag is required, it

will inflate immediately and this may

cause some minor, superficial graz-

ing to the skin or other problems.

Operating faults

å

This warning light comes on

when the engine is started and then

goes out after approximately three sec-

onds.

If it does not come on when the ignition

is switched on or if it stays on, there is a

fault in the system.

Contact your approved Dealer as soon

as possible.

Your protection will be reduced until this

fault is rectified.

Operation

This system is only operational when

the ignition is switched on.

In a severe frontal impact, the airbag(s)

inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact of

the driver's head and chest against the

steering wheel and of the front passen-

ger against the dashboard. They then

deflate immediately so that the passen-

gers are not in any way hindered when

leaving the vehicle.

1.30

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (6/6)

All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag 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 it inflates.

Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag

– 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.

– The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel from our Network).

– Do not sit too close to the steering wheel when driving: sit with your arms slightly bent (see “Adjusting your driving position”

➥ 1.21). This will allow sufficient space for the airbag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.

Warnings concerning the passenger airbag

– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the airbag.

– 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, 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.

A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE

RESTRAINT SYSTEMS IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELT ARE DEACTIVATED ➥ 1.51.

1.31

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SEAT BELTS

Depending on the vehicle, they will con-

sist of:

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following

an accident.

– side seat belt inertia reel preten-

sioners;

– 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.

– chest force limiters.

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:

– Only qualified personnel from our

Network may work on the airbags;

otherwise the system may trigger

accidentally and cause injury.

1

– seat belt locking;

– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner

(which engages to correct seat belt

slack).

– The electric trigger system may

only be tested by a specially

trained technician using special

equipment.

Side seat belt 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.

Force limiter

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

an acceptable level.

– When the vehicle is scrapped,

contact an approved dealer for

disposal of the pretensioner and

airbags gas generators.

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.

1.32

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

Side Airbag

(depending on vehicle)

This airbag may be fitted to each of the

front seats and is activated at the sides

of the seats (door side) to protect the

occupants in the event of a severe side

impact.

Curtain Airbag

This is an airbag fitted (depending on

the vehicle) along the upper sides of

the vehicle – they inflate along the front

and rear door side windows to protect

the passengers in the event of a severe

side impact.

Warning relating to the side airbag

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

cifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved 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 airbag 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 airbag 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.

– This airbag operates through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never

insert any objects in these slits.

1.33

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

All of the warnings below are given so that the airbag 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 it inflates.

The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both

the airbag and the seat belt are integral parts of the same protection

system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts 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 airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always

possible with airbags.

1

If the vehicle should overturn or in the event of a rear impact, however severe,

the pretensioners and airbags are not always triggered. Impacts to the underside

of the vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these sys-

tems.

– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the

airbag system (airbags, pretensioners, computer, wiring harness, etc.), except

by qualified Network personnel.

Operating faults

Indicator light 1 lights up when the igni-

tion is switched on and goes 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 may cause injury, only qualified Network personnel

may work on the airbag system.

If it does not light up when the ignition

is switched on, or if it lights up when

the engine is running, there is a fault

with the system (airbags, pretensioners

etc.) on the front and/or rear seats.

– As a safety precaution, have the airbag system checked if your vehicle has

been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.

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

over this handbook with the vehicle.

Contact an authorised dealer as soon

as possible. The efficiency of protection

will be reduced until this fault is recti-

fied.

– When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the

gas generator(s).

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)

Carrying children

Special features of LPG

versions

Please ensure that you comply with the

legislation of your country.

The vehicle’s LPG installa-

tion may lead to changes to

the vehicle’s features compared to

the petrol version.

Children, and adults, must be correctly

seated and strapped in for all journeys.

The children being carried in your vehi-

cle are your responsibility.

This may relate to the number of

seats and the installation of child

seats.

A child is not a miniature adult. Children

are at risk of specific injuries as their

muscles and bones have not yet fin-

ished growing. The seat belt alone

would not provide suitable protection.

Use an approved child seat and ensure

you use it correctly.

Please contact an authorised dealer.

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.

A collision at 30 mph

(50 km/h) is the same as fall-

ing a distance of 10 metres.

Transporting a child without

a restraint is the equivalent of allow-

ing him or her to play on a fourth-

floor balcony without railings.

Never travel with a child held in your

arms. In the event of an accident,

you will not be able to keep hold of

the child, even if you yourself are

wearing a seat belt.

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.

To prevent the doors being

opened, use the “Child lock”

feature. ➥ 1.12.

If your vehicle has been involved in

a road accident, replace the child

seat and have the seat belts and

ISOFIX anchorage points checked.

1.35

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)

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.

Driver’s responsibility

when parking or stopping

the 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.

Never leave an animal,

child or adult who is not self-suffi-

cient alone on your vehicle, even for

a short time.

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.

They may pose a risk to themselves

or to others by starting the engine,

activating equipment such as the

electric windows or by locking the

doors.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,

please remember that the tempera-

ture inside the passenger compart-

ment increases very quickly.

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat

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

both the head and the neck.

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.

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 must never rest on the neck

or on the arm.

Choose a bucket type seat for best side

protection and change it as soon as the

child’s head is higher than the shell.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat: general information (1/2)

Some seats are not suitable for fitting

child seats. The diagram on the follow-

ing page shows you how to attach a

child seat.

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.

After installing the child seat, when this

is possible, you can move the vehi-

cle seat forward if necessary (so as to

leave enough space in the rear seats

for passengers or other child seats). In

the case of a rear-facing child seat, do

not let it touch the dashboard or move it

to the furthest forward position.

In the front seat

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.

Fit the child seat in a rear

seat wherever possible.

Do not change other settings after in-

stalling the child seat.

Make sure the child seat or

the child’s feet do not pre-

vent the front seat from locking cor-

rectly. ➥ 1.20.

Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if

authorised):

– lower the seat belt as far as possible;

– move the seat as far back as possi-

ble;

– gently tilt the seatback away from

vertical (approximately 25°);

– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat

base as far as possible.

Check that when installing the child

seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of

coming loose from its base.

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 fully raise the seat headrest so

that it does not interfere with the child

seat ➥ 1.19.

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.

– In the event of ice, check whether the

blades are stuck to the windscreen

before operating the wiping mecha-

nism. If you activate the wipers while

the blades are stuck down with ice,

you may risk damaging both the

blade and the wiper motor.

– a windscreen with any chip or

crack level with the sensor, or a

In temperatures below zero, the washer

liquid risks freezing to the windscreen,

thereby reducing visibility. Heat the

windscreen using the demister control

before cleaning.

Efficiency of a wiper blade

Check the condition of the wiper

blades. How long they last depends

on you:

– it must remain clean: clean the

blade and the screen regularly

with soapy water;

– do not use it when the screen is

dry;

– free it from the screen when it has

not been used for a long time.

Windscreen washer

With the ignition on, pull stalk 1 then

release.

In all cases, replace it as soon as

it begins to lose efficiency: approxi-

mately once a year. ➥ 5.42.

A longer pull will trigger, in addition to

the windscreen washer, two sweeps

of the wipers followed, a few seconds

later, by a third.

Precaution for using the

wipers

– In freezing or snowy weather

conditions, clear the screen

before starting the wipers (risk of

motor overheating);

– ensure that no objects are ob-

structing the travel of the blade.

When working in the engine

compartment, ensure that

the windscreen wiper stalk

is in position B (stop).
