Safety
► The system becomes active at speeds
below 19 mph (30 km/h); this lamp comes
on in green in the instrument panel.
► When the vehicle begins its descent, you can
release the accelerator and brake pedals; the
system regulates the speed:
– if the gearbox is in first or second gear,
the speed decreases and the
indicator lamp flashes rapidly,
– if the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal
is depressed, the speed decreases and the
indicator lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the
maintained descent speed is lower.
On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if you
release the accelerator and brake pedals, the
system will release the brakes to set the vehicle
gradually in motion.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the

incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes
on.
