60 seconds after the ignition is switched
on
Several warning and control lamps light up for a
few seconds when the ignition is switched on,
signalling that the function is being verified.
They will switch off after a few seconds.
If the airbag and seat belt tensioner system
control lamp remains on or flashes, it indi-
cates a malfunction in the airbag and seat belt
tensioner system
. Have the system
checked immediately by a specialised work-
shop.
If the front passenger airbag has been deacti-
vated, the warning lamp
remains lit on
the roof console to remind you that the airbag
is deactivated. If, with the front passenger air-
bag deactivated, this lamp
does not remain
lit
or if it is lit along with the control lamp
on the instrument panel, there is a fault in the
airbag system
. If the control lamp is
flashing, there is a fault in the disabling of the
airbag system
. Have the system checked
immediately by a specialised workshop.
WARNING
In the event of a fault in the airbag and seat
belt tensioner system, the airbags and seat
belts may not trigger correctly, may fail to
trigger or may even trigger unexpectedly.

taining severe or fatal injuries. Have the sys-
tem checked immediately by a specialised
