SEAT BELTS (1/4)

Always wear your seat belt when trav­elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par­ticular country you are in.

Make sure that the rear bench seat
is locked in position correctly so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi­ciently. Refer to the information on
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in
Section 3.

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 driv­ing 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 keep­ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

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 ap­proved dealer.

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: 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.
– When the rear bench seat is being put back, make sure that the seat belts and buckles are correctly positioned so that they

can be used properly.
– 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).

1.23

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/6)

Depending on the vehicle, they will con­sist of:

– front seat belt inertia reel preten-

sioners;

– chest-level load limiters;
– airbags driver and passenger

front.

These systems are designed to act in­dependently or together when the vehi­cle 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 airbags.

1

Pretensioners

The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in­creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.

With the ignition on, following a signif­icant frontal impact and depending on
the severity of the impact, the system
may trigger the seat belt inertia reel
pretensioner 1, which instantly retracts
the seat belt.

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following
an accident.

– No operation whatso­ever 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.

1.24

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/6)

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 steer­ing wheel, dashboard (in area airbag A)
and, depending on the vehicle, 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;

– a single å warning light on the

instrument panel.

A

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 situ­ation where an airbag is required, it
will inflate immediately and this may
cause some minor, superficial graz­ing to the skin or other problems.

1.25

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/6)

Operation

This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.

In a severe frontal impact, the airbags
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 air­bags then deflate immediately so that
the passengers are not in any way hin­dered from leaving the vehicle.

1.26

Operating faults

Warning light 4 å will light up on

the instrument panel when the ignition
is turned 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 re­duced until this fault is rectified.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/6)

The following cases trigger the pre­tensioners or airbags:

In a frontal impact against a rigid

(non-deformable) surface at an impact
speed equal to or greater than 16 mph

(25 km/h).

In a frontal impact with another vehi-

cle of an equivalent or higher category,
with an impact area equal to or greater
than 40%, where the speed of both ve­hicles is equal to or greater than

25 mph (40 km/h).

In a side impact with another vehicle

of an equivalent or higher category, at
an impact speed equal to or greater
than 31 mph (50 km/h).

1.27

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (5/6)

In the following examples, the pre­tensioners and airbags could oper­ate:

– impacts to the underside of the vehi-

cle, from kerbs, for example;
– potholes;
– a fall or a hard landing;
– stones;
– ...

1.28

In the following examples, the pre­tensioners and airbags might not
operate:

– rear impact, however severe;
– the vehicle overturning;

– side impact, affecting the front of the

vehicle;

– frontal impact, under the tail of a

lorry;

– frontal impact against an obstacle

with a sharp angle;

– ...

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (6/6)

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.

Warnings concerning the driver’s airbag

– 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 airbag

– Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the airbag.
– 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 airbag” in Section 1)

1.29

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 con­trol units, 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 air
bags; otherwise the system may
trigger accidentally and cause
injury.

1.30

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.

Depending on the vehicle, a mark­ing on the windscreen informs you
of the presence of additional means
of restraint (air bags, pretensioners,
etc.) in the passenger compartment.

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 de­signed 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.

– This airbag operates through slits in the front seatbacks (door side): never

insert any objects in these slits.

1.31

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. 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 systems.

– 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 triggering 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).

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)

Carrying children

Please ensure that you comply with the
legislation of your country.

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.

A collision at 30 mph
(50 km/h) is the same as fall­ing a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without

To prevent the doors being
opened, use the “Child
safety” device (refer to the
information on “Opening

and closing the doors” in Section 1).

a restraint is the equivalent of allow­ing him or her to play on a fourth­floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, replace the child
seat and have the seat belts and
ISOFIX anchorage points checked.

Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle

Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi­cient alone on your vehicle, even for
a short time.

They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or by locking the
doors.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera­ture inside the passenger compart­ment increases very quickly.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

1.33

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. Consult an ap­proved dealer to find out which seats
are recommended for your vehicle.

Before fitting a child seat, read the
manual and respect its instructions. If
you experience any difficulties during
installation, contact the manufacturer
of the equipment. Keep the instructions
with the seat.

Set a good example by always fas­tening your seat belt and teaching
your child:
– to strap themselves in correctly;
– to always get in and out of the car

at the kerb, away from busy traf­fic.

Do not use a second-hand child
seat or one without an instruction
manual.

Check that there are no objects in
the vicinity of the child seat which
could impede its operation.

Never leave a child unat­tended in the vehicle.

Check that your child is

always strapped in and that
the belt or safety harness used is
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid
wearing bulky clothing which could
cause the belts to slacken.

Never let your child put their head or
arms out of the window.

Check that the child is in the correct
position for the entire journey, espe­cially if asleep.

1.34

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 for 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.

Forward-facing child seats

The child’s head and abdomen need to
be protected as a priority. A forward-fac­ing child seat which is firmly attached to
the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact
to the head. Ensure your child travels in
a forward-facing seat with a harness for
as long as their size permits.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.

Booster cushions

From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can
travel using a booster seat, which will
enable the seat belt to be adapted to
suit his/her size and shape. The boos­ter seat cushion must be fitted with
guides to position the seat belt on the
child’s thighs rather than the stomach.
It is recommended that you use a seat­back fitted with a belt strap guide which
can be adjusted in terms of height to
position the seat belt in the centre of the
shoulder. It must never rest on the neck
or on the arm.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.

1.35

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.
Check that the seat is correctly held by
moving it from side to side and back
to front: the seat should remain firmly
fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been
installed at an angle and that it is not
resting against a window.

Do not use the child seat
if it may unfasten the seat
belt restraining it: the base

of the seat must not rest on
the buckle and/or catch of the seat
belt.

Before using an ISOFIX
child seat that you pur­chased for another vehicle,

check that its installation is
authorised. Consult the list of ve­hicles which can be fitted with the
seat from the equipment manufac­turer.

The seat belt must never

be twisted or the tension

relieved. Never pass the

shoulder strap under the
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate nor­mally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved dealer. Do not
use this seat until the seat belt has
been repaired.

Attachment using the ISOFIX
system

Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap­proved in accordance with regulation
ECE-R44 in one of the three following
cases:
– ISOFIXuniversal 3-point forward-fac-

ing seat;
– ISOFIXsemi-universal 2-point seat;
– specific.

For the latter two, check that your child
seat can be installed by consulting the
list of compatible vehicles.

Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX
locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX
system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.

The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings
and, in some cases, a third ring.

No modifications may be
made to the component
parts of the restraint system

(seat belts, ISOFIX and
seats and their mountings) originally
fitted.

seats with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat
belt or other objects to these anchorage points.

Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage
points checked and replace your child seat.

Rear seats

The 2 belt should be positioned be­tween the seatback and the rear parcel
shelf. To do this, remove the rear parcel
shelf (refer to the information on the
“Rear parcel shelf” in Section 3). Attach

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat, general information (1/2)

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.
Check that when installing the child
seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of
coming loose from its base.
If you have to remove the headrest,
check that it is correctly stored so
that it does not come loose under
harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the
vehicle even if it is not in use so that
it does not come loose under harsh
braking or impact.

In the front seat

The laws concerning children travel­ling in the front passenger seat differ in
every country. Consult the legislation in
force and follow the indications on the
diagram on the following page.

Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if
authorised):

– lower the seat belt as far as possible;
– move the seat as far back as possi-

ble;

– gently tilt the seatback away from

vertical (approximately 25°);

– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat

base as far as possible.

In all situations, reinsert the headrest to
its full extent so that it does not interfere
with the child seat (see the information
on “Front headrests” in Section 1);

After installing the child seat, when this
is possible, you can move the vehi­cle seat forward if necessary (so as to
leave enough space in the rear seats
for passengers or other child seats). In
the case of a rear-facing child seat, do
not let it touch the dashboard or move it
to the furthest forward position.

Do not change other settings after in­stalling the child seat.

RISK OF DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY: Before

installing a child seat on the

front passenger seat, check
that the airbag has been deacti­vated (please refer to “Child safety:
front passenger airbag deactivation
and activation” in Section 1).

1.38

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat, general information (2/2)

In the rear side seat

A carrycot can be installed across the
vehicle and will take up at least two
seats. Position the child with his or her
feet nearest the door.

Move the front seat as far forward as
possible to install a rear-facing child
seat, then move back the seat in front
as far as it will go, although without al­lowing it to come into contact with the
child seat.

For the safety of the child in the for­ward-facing position:
– Move the relevant seat backwards

as far as possible;

– move the seat in front of the child

forwards, and set the position of the
seatback to avoid contact between
the seat and the child’s legs.

Always remove the headrest from the
rear seat used for the child seat (see
“Rear headrests” in Section 3). If nec­essary, position the rear seat as far
back as possible. This must be done
before fitting the child seat. Check that
the child seat is resting against the
back of the vehicle seat.

Rear centre seat

Check that the belt is suitable for secu­ring your child seat. Consult an appro­ved dealer.

A child seat with floor sup­ports must never be ins­talled on the rear centre
seat. RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY.

Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.

Mileage before service
With the ignition switched on and the engine not running,

and the selected display is “Mileage before service”, press one
of buttons 2 or 3 for about 5 seconds to display the mileage
before a service, then briefly press one of buttons 2 or 3 to view
the range (distance or time remaining before the next service).
When the distance value approaches its limit, there are several
possible scenarios:
– distance/time remaining less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or

one month: the message “Service due in” is displayed ac­companied by the nearest term (distance or time);

– range equal to 0 km/miles or service date reached: the

message “service vehicle” is displayed accompanied by the

© warning light.

The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.

Depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies according to the driving style (frequent driving at low speed,
door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idling speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change can
therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance travelled.

Reset: to reset the distance before service, press and hold button 2 or 3 for approximately 10 seconds until the display shows
the mileage permanently.
NB: if a service is performed without changing the engine oil, only the mileage before the next service should be reset. In the
event of an oil change, both the distance before the next service and the next oil change should be reset.

To open cover A, place your finger into
recess B.
When filling, use the cap holder 1 on
the cover A to secure the cap 2.

After filling, check that the cap and
cover are closed.

B

Fuel grade

Use a high-grade fuel that complies

with the legislation in force in each
country and which must comply with
the specifications given on the label
on the cover A. Please refer to the in­formation on “Engine specifications” in
Section 6.

Diesel version
Only use diesel fuel which complies

with the information on the label located
inside the cover A.

Filler cap: this is specific.

If you have to replace it,
make sure it is identical to

the original cap. Contact an
approved Dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.

Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.

Petrol version

It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must comply
with the information given on the label
on the cover A. Refer to Section 6 for
information on “Engine specifications”.

Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un­leaded or E85) with diesel.

Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add additive to the fuel –
otherwise you risk damaging the
engine.

TANK (2/3)

Filling with fuel

With the ignition off, insert the nozzle
and insert it fully before turning it on to
fill the fuel tank (risk of splashing).

Keep the nozzle in this position through­out the entire filling operation.
When the pump cuts out automatically
at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be suffi­cient space in the fuel tank to allow for
expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the tank
during filling. The cover A and its sur­round must remain clean.

Petrol versions

Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
foolproof system which only allows

the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).

Vehicle fitted with the Stop and
Start function

To fill up with fuel, the engine must
be stopped (and not on standby):
stop the engine by pressing the
engine stop button 3 (please refer
to the information on “Starting and
Stopping the engine” in Section 2).

standards with which the engines of
vehicles sold in Europe are compat­ible: refer to the “Engine specifica­tions” in section 6.

Persistent fuel odour

If you notice a persistent

fuel odour you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon as traf-

fic conditions allow and switch off
the ignition;

– switch on the hazard warning

lights and ask your passengers to
leave the vehicle and stay clear
of the traffic;

– contact an approved Dealer.

soever are permitted on

any part of the fuel supply

system (electronic units,
wiring, fuel circuit, injectors, pro­tective covers, etc.) as this may be
dangerous (unless undertaken by
qualified Network personnel).
