The shoulder strap 1 should be as close
as possible to the base of the neck but
not on it.
The lap strap 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 keep-
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.
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.
Make sure that the rear bench seat
is securely locked in position so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to “Rear bench seat”

– 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.
– 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

– 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 repositioning the rear bench seat, make sure that the seat belt is correctly positioned so that it 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-

These systems are designed to act in-
dependently or together when the vehi-
cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
The following systems will be triggered
according to the level of impact force:
– seat belt locking;
– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner
(which engages to correct seat belt
slack);
– the lap seat belt pretensioners to
hold the occupant in his seat;
– the front air bag.

The pretensioners flatten the belt
against the body, holding the occupant
against the seat, thus improving the ef-
ficiency of the belt.
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 belt pretensioner 2 which in-
stantly retracts the lap belt.
– 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 ignition module electrical
specifications 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.

An “airbag” marking on the steer-
ing wheel and the dashboard (airbag
area A) indicates that this device is
fitted.
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 intelligent computer for both sys-
tems, which includes an impact
sensor and a monitor controlling the
electrical trigger system for the gas
generator;
– an air bag warning light
å on the
instrument panel;
– remote sensors for the device.
The air bag system oper-
ates using the principles of
pyrotechnics. This explains
why, when the air bag in-
flates, it will generate heat, produce
smoke (this does not mean that a
fire is about to start) and make a
noise upon detonation. In a situa-
tion where an air bag is required, it
will inflate immediately and this may
cause some minor, superficial graz-
ing to the skin or other problems.

The air bag 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 your seat belt at all times. If seat belts are not worn, the
occupants of the vehicle are at risk of serious injury in the event of an accident. The risk of minor superficial injuries oc-
curring when the air bag is deployed may also increase, although such minor injuries are always possible with air bags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pretensioners and air bags 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  may be carried out on any part of the air bag system (air bags, pretensioners, compu-

– 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 air bag system.
– As a safety precaution, have the air bag 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).

Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle 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 fin-
ished 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 fall-
ing a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without
a restraint is the equivalent of allow-
ing him or her to play on a fourth-
floor 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.
To prevent the doors being
opened, use the “Child
safety” device (refer to the
information on “Opening
and closing the doors” in Section 1).

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-

The level of protection offered by the
child seat depends on its ability to re-
strain 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 ap-
proved 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 fas-
tening 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 traf-
fic.
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 unat-
tended 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, espe-
cially if asleep.

A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier
than that of an adult and its neck is very
fragile. Transport the child in this po-
sition for as long as possible (until the
age of 2 at the very least). It supports
both the head and the neck.

The child’s head and abdomen need to
be protected as a priority. A forward-fac-

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 seat-
back 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.

There are two ways of attaching child
seats: via the seat belt or using the
ISOFIX system.

The seat belt must be adjusted to
ensure that it is effective in the event of

Ensure that the strap paths indicated

spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor-
rectly 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.

Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-
proved in accordance with regulation
ECE-R44 in one of the three following
scenarios:
– universal ISOFIX 3-point forward-
facing seat;
– semi-universal ISOFIX 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.
Before using an ISOFIX
child seat that you pur-
chased for another vehicle,
check that its installation is
authorised. Consult the list of ve-
hicles which can be fitted with the
seat from the equipment manufac-
turer.
No modifications may be
made to the component
parts of the restraint system
(ISOFIX seat belts, seats
and their mountings) originally fitted.
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 nor-
mally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved dealer. Do not
use this seat until the seat belt has
been repaired.
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.

The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child
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.
Check that the seatback
of the forward-facing child
seat is in contact with the
seatback of the vehicle
seat.
In this case, the child seat may not
always rest on the seat base of the
vehicle seat.
Fit the hook of the strap onto ring 3 and
pull the strap so that the seatback of the
child seat comes into contact with the
top of the seatback on the vehicle seat.
The third ring is used to attach the
upper strap on some child seats.
To access it, pass the belt on the child
seat behind the rear bench seatback,
then open flap 4.
The two rings 1 are located between
the seatback and the seat base (behind
a cover) and are identified by a mark-
ing.
To ensure your child seat can be easily
fitted and locked on rings 1, use access
guides 2 on the child seat.

The values showing average fuel con-
sumption, range and average speed
will become more stable and reliable
the further you travel after pressing the
reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing
the reset button you will notice that the
range increases as you travel. This
range takes into account the average
fuel consumption since the last time the
reset button was pressed. Therefore,
the average fuel consumption may de-
crease when:
– the vehicle is no longer accelerating;
– the engine reaches its operating
temperature (if the engine was cold
when reset button was pressed);
– when driving from an urban area
onto the open road.

Distance remaining before the next service. When the distance value approaches
the limit, there are several possible scenarios:
– mileage before service less than  miles (1,500 km): the message “Service

– distance equal to  or  the message “service vehi-
cle” is displayed accompanied by the
© warning light.
The vehicle requires a service as soon as possible.
 depending on the vehicle, the mileage before a service changes according to driving style (frequent driving at low speeds,
door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idle speed, towing, etc.). The distance remaining until the next service can therefore de-
crease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance travelled.

The mileage before service must only be reset after a service which complies with the recommendations in the Maintenance
Service Booklet. If you decide to change the oil more frequently, do not reset this data each time the oil is changed to avoid ex-
ceeding the replacement intervals for other parts in the maintenance schedule.
To reset the distance before service, press and hold one of the display reset buttons for approximately 10 seconds until the dis-
play shows the mileage permanently.

It is equipped with a system which
adapts the level of assistance to the ve-
hicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking
manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst
the force needed to steer increases
progressively as the speed rises (for
enhanced safety at high speeds).
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Do not drive with a low battery
charge. The steering wheel may not
operate correctly.
With the engine switched off, or if
there is a system fault, it is still pos-
sible to turn the steering wheel. The
force required will be greater.
A noise may be heard when the
steering wheel is moved quickly.

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 there-
fore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufac-
turer is actively striving to reduce pol-
lutant exhaust gas emissions and to
save energy. But the fuel consumption
of your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main-
tained and used correctly.

Depending on the vehicle, in order to
optimise consumption, an indicator light

of the best moment to upshift or down-
shift gears:
\ shift up a gear;
[ shift down a gear.

It is important to remember that failure to
respect antipollution regulations could
lead to legal action being taken against
the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than those
originally recommended by the manu-
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved Dealer, in ac-

have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained

Your vehicle has been designed to
emit fewer greenhouse gases (CO2)
while in use, and therefore to consume
less fuel (eg. 140 g/km, equivalent to
5.3 l/100 km for a diesel vehicle).
Our vehicles are also equipped with a
particle filter system including a cata-
lytic converter, an oxygen sensor and
an active carbon filter (the latter pre-
vents vapour from the fuel tank being
released into the open air).
For certain diesel vehicles, this system
also has a particle filter to reduce the
volume of soot particles emitted.

In order to preserve raw material re-

or animal-derived materials such as
cotton or wool).
Your vehicle has been designed with

Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure.
The system informs the driver via the
trip computer and warning system 1
that the tyres are sufficiently inflated
and warns if they are underinflated or
leaking.
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.
The operation of the tyre pressure
monitor may be affected by using
devices near the vehicle which op-
erate on the same frequency.
In this case, the system indicates a
drop in tyre pressure under normal
conditions.
The operation of the tyre pressure
monitor may be affected if snow
chains are fitted to the tyres or if the
tyres are stuck in snow.

Pressing button 11 activates air recircu-
lation mode (the symbol lights up on the
display).
During recirculation, air is taken from
the passenger compartment and is re-
cycled, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation allows the passenger
compartment to be isolated from the
outside air (when driving in polluted
areas, etc.).
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air or automatic
recirculation) as soon as air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing
button 11.

Fit the emergency spare wheel on the
central hub and turn it to locate the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
If bolts are supplied with the emergency
spare wheel, only use these bolts for
the emergency spare wheel. Tighten
the bolts, checking that the wheel is
correctly positioned on its hub and
lower the jack.
With the wheel on the ground, tighten
the screws as fully as possible and
check the tightness as soon as possi-

(and repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.

An overloaded vehicle, long journeys

Always ensure tyres with identi-

consequences for the tyres, gearbox,
transfer gearbox and the rear differen-

For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
– it may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
– it may change the way it handles
when cornering;
– it may cause the steering to be
heavy;
– It may affect the use of snow
chains.
When changing a tyre, make sure all four tyres are changed at the same
time in order to preserve the transmission system.

tolerated:
– rear axle maximum permissible weight exceeded by no more than 15%,
– maximum permissible all-up weight exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reached first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 60 mph (100 kph) and the tyre pressures must be
increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10%
at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres thereafter.
