AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING

Operating principle

After the vehicle is started, the system

automatically locks the doors when you

are driving at approximately 6 mph

(10 km/h) and over.

The door can be unlocked:

– by pressing central door unlocking

switch 2.

– at a standstill, by opening a front

door from inside the vehicle.
Note: if a door is opened or closed, it

will automatically lock again when the

vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph

(10 km/h).

Activating/deactivating the

function

To switch it on: with the vehicle at a

standstill and the engine running, press

switch 2 until a beep sounds.

To deactivate: with the vehicle station-

ary and the engine running, press the

switch 2 until you hear two beeps.

You can also deactivate/activate the

function from the menu on the multi-

function screen 1 (refer to the informa-

tion on the “Vehicle settings customisa-

tion menu” section 1, “Auto door locking

while driving” function).

Operating faults

If you experience an operating fault (no

automatic locking, the indicator light in-

corporated in switch 2 does not light up

when trying to lock the doors and boot,

etc.), make sure that locking has not

been deactivated by mistake and check

that the doors and boot are properly

closed. If they are correctly locked and

the fault is still present, contact an au-

thorised dealer.

Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the

doors locked when you are

driving, remember that it

may be more difficult for those as-

sisting you to gain access to the

passenger compartment in the

event of an emergency.

1.19

FRONT HEADRESTS

The headrest is an impor-

tant safety component:

ensure that it is in place and

in the correct position. The

distance between your head and the

headrest and the distance between

the head and section A should be

as small as possible.

To raise the headrest

Pull the headrest upwards to the de-

sired height.

To lower the headrest

Press button 2 and guide the headrest

down to the desired height.

To adjust the angle of the

headrest

Depending on the vehicle, move sec-

tion A towards or away from you to the

required position.

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

(1/3)

Seat belts which are incor-

rectly adjusted or twisted

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 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, ie.:

avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-

ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

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 interior rear-view

mirror, or, depending on the vehicle, on

the central display when the engine is

started then, if the driver’s or the front

passenger’s seat belt (if this seat is oc-

cupied) is not fastened and the vehicle

has reached approximately 12.4 mph

(20 km/h), it flashes and a beep sounds

for around 2 minutes.

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

instrument panel, accompanied by the

graphic 6 for approximately 30 seconds

each time the vehicle is started, a door

is opened or a rear seat belt is fastened

or unfastened.

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.

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.
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: belts, seats and their mountings. For special op-

erations (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 secured.

– When the rear seats are being put back, make sure that the seat belts and

buckles are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.

– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be hidden

away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

(1/4)

Depending on the vehicle, they are

composed of:

– seat belt inertia reel pretension-

ers;

–  central seat belt pretensioners;
–  chest-level load limiter;
–  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.
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:
– the seat belt inertia reel preten-

sioner 1 which instantly retracts the

seat belt;

– the lap pretensioner 2 on the front

seats.

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following

an accident.

– 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.

– Only qualified personnel from our

Network may work on the airbags;

otherwise the system may trigger

accidentally and cause injury.

– 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

airbags gas generators.

(2/4)

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.

driver and passenger front

Airbags

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

cated by the word “airbag” on the steer-

ing wheel, dashboard (in the area of the

airbag A) and, depending on the vehi-

cle, a label on the lower section of the

windscreen.
Each airbag system consists of:
– an airbag and gas generator fitted on

the steering wheel for the driver and

in the dashboard for the passenger;

– an electronic unit for system monitor-

ing which controls the gas generator

electrical trigger system;

– remote sensors;

– a single

warning light on the

instrument panel.

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.
