Safety
Recommendations
The vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads, but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-
driving on terrain which could
damage the underbody or strip away
components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler,
etc.) due to obstacles or stones in
particular,
-
driving on terrain with steep gradients
and poor grip,
- crossing a waterway.
Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel
which allows the strap length to automatically
adjust to your shape. The seat belt returns to its
storage automatically when it is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which
automatically locks the strap in the event of
a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle
rolls over. It can be released by pulling the
strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels
in slightly.
Pyrotechnic pretensioning
This system improves safety in the event of
a frontal or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
Force limiter
This system reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus
improving their protection.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic
pretensioner device may trigger before
and independently of airbag deployment.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a
noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belt system checked, and if necessary
replaced, by a
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning and force limiting system.
Rear seat belts
Each of the rear seats has a three-point seat
belt with inertia reel.
The outer seats are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning and force limiting system.
Fastening
F Pull the strap, then insert the tongue in the
buckle.
F Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.
