SAFETY BELTS Three-point safety belts with winders This type of belt needs no length adjustment. Once fastened, the belt freely adjusts to the user’s movements, but in case of a strong or brusque jolt, it automatically locks itself to retain the body. Before fastening your safety belt, seat yourself well in the back of your seat, set the seat’s advance according to the pedals. When you put on your safety belt, hold yourself against the back of your seat. The thorax strap should be as close as possible to the neck, without however bearing on it. The basin strap should bear flat on the thighs and against the basin. The belt should bear most directly on the body. Avoid very thick clothing and inserted objects … To fasten the belt, slowly unroll the strap and without jolts and make sure of the bolting in the box. Check the efficient bolting by pulling on the bolt. If there is locking of the strap before the locking, return backwards and unroll again. To unfasten the belt, press the red button on the box, the belt winds back into the reel.

Furthermore you should comply with the local legislation of the country where you are. The safety belt was designed to retain a single person. Never place a child on your knees and fasten the safety belt. Do not use devices allowing to introduce free movement into the straps (example: clothes peg, etc) because a safety belt that is too loose, risks causing wounds in the event of an accident. Following a serious accident, it is necessary to replace the safety belts which were in service at the time. Or even if a belt is damaged and shredded, it is imperative to replace it. If you have to clean your safety belts, do it with some soap and water. Any other product is prohibited. Badly adjusted safety belts risk causing wounds in the event of an accident. Pregnant women should use their safety belt. In that case, make sure that the basin strap does not exert too much pressure on the stomach bottom without creating additional clearance. When the belt is used, the straps should not be twisted. Do not move the abdominal strap under your arm or behind your back. Safety belts were designed to be used by occupants having an adult’s size. Do not modify or transform the safety belts or their anchorage on the chassis or the vehicle’s seats. Only use the manufacturer’s origin equipment. Babies and children can in no case be carried on the knees of occupants of the vehicle. It is particularly dangerous to strap a child sitting on your knees. Never use a single belt to hold two persons at the same time. Never leave a child or an animal in a car exposed to sunlight, windows closed. FOR CHILDREN’S SAFETY • Never leave the keys within the reach of children, inside the vehicle. • The use of devices to retain babies and children is regulated. • You must imperatively respect the laws in force in the country you are driving in particularly as concerns the age conditions for the transport of children in the front seats. • Generally, children under 12 years, under 1.50 metres tall and weighing under 36 kilos, should be attached on an authorized device, adapted to the weight and size of the child. • The driver is responsible of the correct use of these devices. • It is thus advised to select an authorized device according to European regulation EEC 44. • Such devices obligatorily include an orange label with the letter E followed by a number, that of the country where it is authorized and the year of authorization. • Before using a child’s seat, push back the passenger seat to the maximum.

CONDITION OF TYRES BATTERY The battery is located under the engine’s bonnet. ATTACHMENT SCREW PRESSURE AND INFLATION OF TYRES (BAR) The life expectancy of a battery is closely linked to external factors (driving conditions, electric equipment, weather conditions…) In extreme cases (e.g. while driving less than 10km) the battery will not be enough charged from the normal use of the vehicle. In such a case you shall plug your battery on a charger that can be ordered from your Authorised Repairer CITY AND CROSSLINE TYRES 155 / 65 R 14 145 / 70 R 13 FRONT REAR SPARE 1.6 1.6 1.7 Would you like to charge your battery, you should imperatively remove it from the car and charge it in ventilated premises. 37 ABS braking system Your vehicle may be equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) that allows you to keep control of your vehicle regardless of grip conditions. An Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) is also integrated and will manage permanently the distribution of the braking power between rear and front brakes. Upon activation of the ABS a vibration is felt at the brake pedal. This vibration is normal and due to the operation of the system. The use of ABS should not lead to non-compliance of the Highway Code especially regarding safety distance between two vehicles. Two signals on the dashboard will display the status of your braking system. ABS warning signal: it turns on at ignition and turns off a few seconds later to ensure the system is operational. If this light turns on while driving, you shall go to the nearest Authorized Repairer as your ABS is facing a minor failure. ABS & Braking warning signals: if these two signals light up simultaneously your braking system is facing a major failure. ABS and EBD functions are deactivated You shall stop your vehicle as soon as possible and call your nearest Authorized Repairer. 38 Air Conditioning functionning: Turn the ventilation button to the desired speed (a). Switch the A/C on (b). Adjust the air recirculation so as to optimize the AC/ efficiency (c). The air recirculation may also be used to improve the heating efficiency or to prevent from external pollution like before entering a tunnel. Be aware, turning the recirculation on to the MAX position may generate condensation on the windows inside the car mainly on the windscreen. The air conditioning shall be revised every two years. 39 DIRECTIONS OF USAGE: You shall park the vehicle in the shade to lower the need for air conditioning to cool the vehicle. Before switching on the cooling system, you should open the windows to evacuate the maximum heat and then close them as soon as the A/C is turned on. Do not orientate the vents directly to the head to prevent sore throat. You shall switch the A/C on, at least 15 minutes per week, whatever the outside temperature, to ensure a correct lubrication of the system, limit the cooling fluid leaks and keep the A/C in proper order. WARNING To operate on an A/C system that contains refrigerant and especially to open or to drain it, any technician must have a specific habilitation and its workshop must be homologated to operate on A/C systems. It is strictly forbidden to discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere. The air entering the cabin is cooled and dried by condensation of the moisture it contains. The water is then stocked in the condenser and evacuated by a pipe under the vehicle. Therefore, it is normal to find water flowing under the vehicle when the air conditioning system is in operation. 40 FUSE BOX WARNING: When you replace a fuse, always respect the amperage (risk of fire).
