Known for robust construction but lacks modern crumple zones and airbags. Active Features Braking System: Self-ventilating front discs, rear discs. Highly effective and reliable hydropneumatic power assistance (Liquide Hydraulique Minéral - LHM). Some models featured anti-lock braking systems (ABS) as an option. Steering System: Hydraulic power steering with DIRAVI system (variable assistance and centering force). Passive Features Airbags: Not generally equipped with airbags in 1984. Some later or very high-spec models might have had driver airbags as an option, but this is rare for the '84 model year. Seatbelts: Standard front and rear seatbelts. Pretensioners were not common for this era.
