in maintaining a constant speed, depending on
the gear engaged, while progressively releasing
the brakes.

speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, if the
slope and pedal release conditions are met.
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal
again at any time.
For the system to activate, the gradient
must be greater than 5%.
The system can be used with the gearbox in
neutral.
Otherwise, engage a gear corresponding to

seriousness of the impacts, the pyrotechnic

on.
Following an impact, have the seat belt
system checked, and if necessary replaced,

Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia
reel which allows the strap length to adjust
automatically to the shape of the user. 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
Each of the rear seats has a three-point seat belt
with inertia reel.
The outer seats are fitted, depending on the
version, with a pyrotechnic pretensioning and
force limiting system.
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning system, depending on version,
and a force limiting system.
Fastening
This system improves safety in the event of a
frontal or side impact.
► Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
► Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling on the strap.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Unfastening
► Press the red button on the buckle.
► Guide the seat belt as it is reeled in.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are
enabled when the ignition is on.
