SEAT BELTS (4/4) The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts. – No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their mountings) fitted originally. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats) contact an approved 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.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4) Depending on the vehicle, they are composed of: – seat belt inertia reel pretensioners; – Have the entire restraint system checked following an accident. – lap belt pretensioners; – chest-level load limiters; – anti-submarining air bags; – air bags for driver and front passenger. These systems are designed to act independently or together when the vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4) Chest-level and lap belt load limiters Air bag for driver and 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 an acceptable level. Fitted to the driver and passenger side. Anti-submarining air bag Located on each of the front seats, it deploys in order to prevent the occupant from sliding under the seat belt.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4) 4 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 passenger against the dashboard. The air bags then deflate immediately so that the passengers are not in any way hindered from leaving the vehicle. 1.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT 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 it 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.
Methods of restraint in addition to the rear 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 control units, wiring) and the system components must not be reused on any other vehicle, even if identical.
SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES Side Airbags 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 Airbags This airbag may be fitted along the top of each side of the vehicle and is triggered along the front and rear side windows to protect the passengers in the event of a severe side impact.
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 air bags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system. It is therefore essential to wear seat belts at all times.
Child safety: General information Carrying children Children, and adults, must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys. The children being carried in your vehicle are your responsibility. A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet finished growing. The seat belt alone would not provide suitable protection. Use an approved child seat and ensure you use it correctly.
Child safety: Choosing a child seat Rear-facing child seats A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier than that of an adult and its neck is very fragile. Transport the child in this position as long as possible (until the age of 2 at the very least). It supports both the head and the neck. Choose a bucket type seat for best side protection and change it as soon as the child’s head is higher than the shell. 1.36 Forward-facing child seats The child’s head and abdomen need to be protected as a priority.
child safety: choosing a child/baby seat mounting (1/2) There are two ways of attaching child seats: via the seat belt or using the ISOFIX system. Attachment via the seat belt The seat belt must be adjusted to ensure that it is effective in the event of harsh braking or an impact. Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are respected. Always check that the seat belt is correctly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat.

TYRES (1/3) Tyre and wheel safety The tyres are the only contact between the vehicle and the road, so it is essential to keep them in good condition. You must make sure that your tyres conform to local road traffic regulations. 1 2 When the tyre tread has been worn to the level of the warning strips, they become visible 2: it is then necessary to replace your tyres because the tread rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at most, resulting in poor road holding on wet roads.
TYRES (2/3) Tyre pressures Adhere to the tyre pressures (including the emergency spare wheel). The tyre pressures should be checked at least once a month and additionally before any long journey (refer to the label affixed to the edge of the driver’s door). Pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures which may be reached in hot weather or following a fast journey. If tyre pressures cannot be checked when the tyres are cold, assume an increase of 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
TYRES (3/3) Use in winter Chains For safety reasons, fitting snow chains to the rear axle is strictly forbidden. Chains cannot be fitted to tyres which are larger than those originally fitted to the vehicle. Chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally fitted to your vehicle.
