Check that the rear seat belts are positioned and operating correctly each time the rear bench seat is 1.
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 originally fitted restraint system: 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.
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.
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 (1/2) 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: General information (2/2) Using a child seat The level of protection offered by the child seat depends on its ability to restrain 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.
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. 1.38 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.
child safety: choosing a child/baby seat mounting (2/2) 1 6 3 2 4 5 The two rings 1 are located between the seatback and the seat base of the seat and are identified by a marking. To ensure your child seat can be easily fitted and locked on rings 1, use access guides 2 on the child seat. The third ring is used to attach the upper strap on some child seats: The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child seats with the ISOFIX system.
Child safety: Fitting a child seat Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagram on the following page shows you how to attach a child seat. The types of child seat indicated may not be available. Before using a different child seat, check with the manufacturer that it can be fitted. Ensure that the child seat or the child’s feet do not prevent the front seat from locking correctly. Refer to the information on the “Front seat” in Section 1.

Advice: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (1/3) Your vehicle complies with criteria for recycling and recovering vehicles at the end of their service life which will come into force in 2015. Some parts of your vehicle have therefore been designed to facilitate future recycling. These parts are easy to remove so that they can be recovered and reprocessed by recycling companies.
Advice: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3) Exhaust gas monitoring system – Avoid sudden acceleration. – Brake as little as possible. If you anticipate an obstacle or bend in advance, you may then simply release the accelerator pedal. – Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill, accelerate no more than you would on the level. Keep your foot in the same position on the accelerator pedal. – Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary in modern vehicles.
Advice: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3) – In vehicles fitted with air conditioning, it is normal to observe an increase in fuel consumption (especially in urban conditions) when it is used. For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.
Environment Your vehicle has been designed with respect for the environment in mind for its entire service life: during production, use and at the end of its life. This commitment is illustrated by the of the manufacturer eco² signature. Emissions Manufacture Our vehicles are also equipped with a particle filter system including a catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor and an active carbon filter (the latter prevents vapour from the fuel tank being released into the open air).
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS (1/2) Under heavy braking, the essential requirements are to limit the stopping distance and keep your vehicle under control. However, there is a risk that roadholding and directional control may be lost and the wheels may lock under braking, depending on the nature of the ground, weather conditions and your reactions. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) has been designed to combat this danger.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM: ABS (2/2) One of two situations may arise if there is a fault in the ABS system: x 1 – The orange warning lights and © light up on the instrument panel.

If the cable has been wound back up on its own, unwind it again as follows: – pull the handle to unwind the cable; After changing a wheel, position the replaced wheel on support 9, with the valve facing the ground. Clip cable 7 in its housing 8 then push the wheel under the luggage compartment. Ensure that tab 10 is positioned towards the rear of the vehicle.
PUNCTURE, EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (4/4) Note: if the tool kit does not lock in place, check the tightness of nut 5 and the correct positioning of the handle 6. Special features 6 5 The emergency spare wheel holder should always be present when you are driving even when the wheel itself is not present: risk of water entering the vehicle. If you have to release it when it is not holding a wheel, push the centre of the wheel holder towards the ground while pressing handle 6.
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (1/3) B A Do not attempt to use the inflation kit if the tyre has been damaged as a result of driving with a puncture. The kit is only approved for inflating the tyres of the vehicle originally equipped with the kit. You should therefore carefully check the condition of the tyre sidewalls before any operation. It must never be used to inflate the tyres of another vehicle, or any other inflatable object (rubber ring, rubber boat, etc.).
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (2/3) 1 6 With the engine running and the parking brake applied, – unroll the hose from the container; 2 3 7 6 5 4 Depending on the vehicle, in the event of a puncture, use the kit located underneath the luggage compartment carpet. Before using this kit, park the vehicle at a sufficient distance from traffic, switch on the hazard warning lights, apply the handbrake, ask all passengers to leave the vehicle and keep them away from traffic.
TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3) 2 – Affix the driving recommendation label to the dashboard where it can easily be seen by the driver; – Put the kit away. – At the end of this initial inflation operation, air will still escape from the tyre. You must drive a short distance in order to seal the hole. – Start immediately and drive at between 12 and 40 mph (20 and 60 km/h) in order to distribute the product evenly in the tyre and, after driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and check the pressure.

CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2) 4 1 5 2 A Continue to crank the jack so that the baseplate is correctly positioned (it should be underneath the vehicle and aligned with jack head A). Turn it a few times to lift the wheel off the ground. 3 Switch on the hazard warning lights. Keep the vehicle away from traffic and on a level surface where it will not slip (if necessary, place a solid support under the jack base). Apply the hand brake and engage a gear (first or reverse, or P for automatic transmissions).
CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2) Undo the bolts and take off the wheel. Fit the emergency spare wheel on the central hub and turn it to locate the mounting holes in the wheel and the hub. Tighten the bolts and lower the jack. With the wheel on the ground, tighten the screws as fully as possible and check the tightness as soon as possible (tightening torque 110 N.m). Anti-theft bolt If you use anti-theft bolts, fit these nearest the valve (otherwise it may not be possible to fit the wheel trim).
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. 2 You must make sure that your tyres conform to local road traffic regulations. 1 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. Snow or Winter tyres Studded tyres We would recommend that these be fitted to all four wheels to ensure that your vehicle retains maximum road holding.
