EMERGENCY CALL (2/2)

Check the condition of the bat-

tery, its service life is approximately

4 years (warning light 1 lights up in

red to inform you).
Consult an approved dealer.

Manual mode

The emergency call is triggered by

pressing switch 3.
Emergency call has two modes:
– in normal mode by pressing switch 3

for more than 3 seconds;
– in panic mode by pressing switch 3

five times in less than 10 seconds.

Automatic mode

When warning light 2 is on, this indi-

cates that the automatic system is ac-

tivated.
With ignition switched on, the emer-

gency call is triggered automatically in

the event of an accident with airbag ac-

tivated. Data are transmitted to the call

centre (vehicle identification plate, time

of the call, vehicle position, direction of

the vehicle, etc).
The automatic emergency call is acti-

vated by default and can be disabled

on request of the user at an Approved

Dealer.

In the event of unintended operation, it

is possible to cancel the call by press-

ing switch 3 for 2 seconds before the

call to the call centre is set up.
Once a call is established, only the call

centre can end the call.

Operating faults

In some cases, the emergency call

function may not work:
– no fault detected and phone network

unavailable;
– low battery;
– ...
When the system detects an operat-

ing fault, the warning light 1 turns red;

consult an Approved Dealer as soon as

possible.

the vehicle is not being

driven.

We would advise you not to recline

the seatbacks too far to ensure that

the effectiveness of the seat belts is

not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the

floor (area in front of driver) as such

objects may slide under the pedal

during braking manoeuvres, thus

obstructing its use.

ing to minimum power. One inte-

grated warning light comes on;

– pressing for the third time turns the

heating off.

Ventilated seats

Ventilation seats work on the princi-

ple of absorbing and exporting the air

in the passenger compartment without

using the vehicle’s air conditioning and

heating functions. For the best perform-

ance, you are advised to use this func-

tion with air conditioning switched on.

With the ignition on:
– pressing the switch 6 on the re-

quired seat for the first time activates

the ventilation system at maximum

power. Both integrated switch warn-

ing lights come on;

tilation to minimum power. One inte-

grated warning light comes on;

– a third press switches off ventilation.
Note: if you switch off the engine and

restart it, the ventilation or heating func-

tion will be off.

FRONT SEATS WITH ELECTRIC CONTROLS (2/2)

1.23

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.

SEAT BELTS

(1/4)

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.
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.

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

– 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;

– adjust the position of your head-

rest. For the 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;

– adjust the position of the steering

wheel.

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the

seatback.
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.

1.24

SEAT BELTS

(2/4)

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.
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.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-

proved dealer.

Driver’s seat belt reminder

and, depending on the vehi-

cle, front passenger seat belt re-

minder

This lights up on the central display

when starting the engine then, if the

driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt

(if this seat is occupied) is not fastened

and the vehicle has reached approxi-

mately 12 mph (20 km/h), it flashes and

a bleep sounds for around 120 sec-

onds.

Note: an object placed on the passen-

ger seat base may activate the warning

light in some cases.
Rear seat belt reminder (depending

on vehicle)

Warning light

lights up on the

central display, accompanied by the

graphic 6 on the instrument panel for

approximately 30 seconds each time

the vehicle is started, a door is opened

or a rear seat belt is fastened or unfas-

tened.

Check that the rear passengers are

wearing seat belts and that the number

of seat belts shown as fastened cor-

responds to the number of rear seat

places occupied.
On the graphic 6:

– marker in green: seat belt fastened;

– marker in red: seat belt unfastened.

Unfastening

Press button 4 and the seat belt will be

rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the

belt.

1.25

SEAT BELTS

(3/4)

Check that the rear seat

belts are positioned and

operating correctly each

time the rear bench seat is

moved.

Rear seat belts 8

The belts are locked, unlocked and

adjusted in the same way as the front

belts.

Adjusting the height of the

front seat belts

Use button 7 to adjust the seat belt

height so that the shoulder strap is worn

as shown previously. Press the button 7

and raise or lower the seat belt. Make

sure that the seat belt is locked in posi-

tion correctly after you have adjusted it.

1.26

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.

– 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).

SEAT BELTS

(4/4)

1.27

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

(1/4)

Depending on the vehicle, they are

composed of:

– seat belt inertia reel pretensio-

ners;

– driver and passenger’s lap belt

pretensioners;

– chest-level load limiter;
– air bags for driver and front pas-

senger.

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:
– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner

(which engages to correct seat belt

slack);

– the lap belt pretensioners to hold the

occupant in his seat;

– the front airbag.

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.
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:
– seat belt inertia reel pretensioner 1

which instantly retracts the seat belt;

– the lap belt pretensioner 2 for the

driver and passenger.

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following

an accident.

– No operation whatsoe-

ver is permitted on any part of

the system (pretensioners, air

bags, computers, wiring) and the

system components must not

be reused on any other vehicle,

even if identical.

– To avoid incorrect triggering of

the system which may cause

injury, only qualified personnel

from an approved dealer may

work on the pretensioner and air

bag system.

– The electric trigger system may

only be tested by a specially

trained technician using special

equipment.

– When the vehicle is scrapped,

contact an approved dealer for

disposal of the pretensioner and

air bag gas generators.

1.28

Load 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.

Front airbags for driver and

passenger

Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in-

dicated by the word “Air bag” on the

steering wheel and dashboard (air bag

zone A) and, depending on the vehicle,

a symbol on the lower section of the

windscreen.
Each air bag system consists of:
– an air bag and gas generator fitted

on the steering wheel for the driver

and in the dashboard for the front

passenger;

– an electronic unit for system monito-

ring which controls the gas generator

electrical trigger system;

– a single

warning light on the

instrument panel.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

(2/4)

The air bag system uses

pyrotechnic principles. This

explains why, when the air

bag inflates, it will generate

heat, produce smoke (this does not

mean that a fire is about to start)

and make a noise upon detonation.

In a situation where an air bag is re-

quired, it will inflate immediately and

this may cause some minor, superfi-

cial grazing to the skin or other pro-

blems.

1.29

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

(3/4)

Operating faults

This warning light

will light up on

the instrument panel when the ignition

is switched on and then go out after a

few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition

is switched on, or comes on when the

engine is running, there is a fault in the

system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon

as possible. Your protection will be re-

duced until this fault is rectified.

Operation
This system is only operational when

the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the air bags

inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact

of the driver’s head and chest against

the steering wheel and of the front pas-

senger against the dashboard. The air

bags then deflate immediately so that

the passengers are not in any way hin-

dered from leaving the vehicle.

1.30

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

(4/4)

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.
–  The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified 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 deploy correctly 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 on or near the air bag.
–  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 ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.

(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)

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.

1.31

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE REAR SIDE SEAT BELTS

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.

– 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.

– Only qualified personnel from

our Network may work on the air

bags; otherwise the system may

trigger accidentally and cause

injury.

1.32

Side Airbags

An airbag can be fitted to each front

seat, which are deployed on the side of

the seat (door side) to protect the oc-

cupants in the case of a severe side

impact.

Curtain Airbags

These are airbag fitted along the sides

of the vehicle in the ceiling which trigger

along the front and rear door side win-

dows to protect the passengers in case

of a severe side impact.

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES

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 de-

signed for your vehicle (and 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 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.

Depending on the vehicle, a mark-

ing on the windscreen informs you

of the presence of additional means

of restraint (air bags, pretensioners,

etc.) in the passenger compartment.

1.33

ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT

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

air bags and seat belts 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 air bags.
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.

– 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.

– 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.

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

gas generator(s).

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.

Operating faults

This warning light comes on

when the engine is started and then

goes out after approximately three se-

conds.
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.
