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 at a

standstill and the engine running, press

switch 2 until two beeps sound.
You can also activate/deactivate the

function from the menu on the multi-

function screen 1 (refer to the infor-

mation on the «Vehicle settings custo-

misation 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.

2

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.

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.

– 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 refitting the rear seats, make sure the seat belts are correctly positioned

so that they can be used correctly.

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

away, crushed or flattened by people or objects).

The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

In any case, take care of the good oper-

ating of the seatbelts.

1.31

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;
– 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:
– 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, 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.

(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.

Air bags for driver and front

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 monitor-

ing which controls the gas generator

electrical trigger system;

– remote sensors;

– a single warning light

å

on the

instrument panel.

A

The air bag system uses

pyrotechnic principles. This

explains why, when the air

bag inflates, it will gener-

ate 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

required, it will inflate immediately

and this may cause some minor, su-

perficial grazing to the skin or other

problems.

1.33

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS

(3/4)

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 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.

Operating faults

å

This warning light comes on

when the engine is started and then

goes out after approximately three sec-

onds.
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.
