CHILD SEATS

E68916
WARNINGS
Secure children that are less than 150 centimetres tall or less than 12 years of age in a suitable, approved
child restraint, in the rear seat.

Read and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when you are fitting a
child restraint.
Do not modify child restraints in any
way.
Do not hold a child on your lap when
the vehicle is moving.
Do not leave unattended children in
your vehicle.
If your vehicle has been involved in
an accident, have the child restraints
checked by properly trained technicians.
Note:
Mandatory use of child restraints
varies from country to country.
Only child restraints certified to ECE-R44.03 (or later) have been tested and approved for use in your vehicle. A choice of these are available from your Dealer.
Child restraints for different mass groups
Use the correct child restraint as follows:
Baby safety seat
E68918
Secure children that weigh less than 13 kilograms in a rearward facing baby safety seat (Group 0+) in the rear seat.

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS
When using a child seat with a support leg, the support leg must rest securely on the floor.
When using a child seat with a seat belt, make sure that the seat belt is not slack or twisted.
CAUTION
The child seat must rest tightly against the vehicle seat. It may be necessary to lift or remove the head
restraint. See Head restraints (page
76).
Note:
When using a child seat on a front seat, it may prove difficult to tighten the lap section of the seat belt without slack remaining. If this is the case, adjust the seatback to the fully upright position and raise the height of the seat. See Seats (page 76).

Use an anti-rotation device when using the ISOFIX system. We recommend the use of a top tether
or support leg.
Your vehicle is fitted with ISOFIX anchor points that accommodate universally approved ISOFIX child seats.
The ISOFIX system comprises of two rigid attachment arms on the child seat that attach to anchor points on the outboard rear seats, where the cushion and backrest meet. Tether anchor points are fitted behind the outboard rear seats for child seats with a top tether.
Top tether anchor points
E87146
Attaching a child seat with top tethers

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Airbags
WARNINGS
Do not modify the front of your vehicle in any way. This could adversely affect deployment of the
airbags.
Original text according to ECE R94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not use
a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a position that allows the airbag to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the correct position (page 76).
Have repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
seat belts carried out by a properly trained technician.
Keep the areas in front of the
airbags free from obstruction. Do
not affix anything to or over the airbag covers.
Do not poke sharp objects into
areas where airbags are fitted. This
could damage and adversely affect deployment of the airbags.
Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by a properly trained technician.
Note:
You will hear a loud bang and see a cloudof harmless powdery residue if an airbag deploys. This is normal.
Note:
Only wipe airbag covers with a damp cloth.
Driver and front passenger airbags
E74302
The driver and front passenger airbags will deploy during significant frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbags will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal collisions, overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the driver and front passenger airbags will not deploy.
Driver knee airbag
CAUTION
Do not attempt to open the driver knee airbag cover.
The driver knee airbag will deploy during frontal collisions or collisions that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus providing a cushion between the driver’s knees and the steering column. During overturns, rear collisions and side collisions, the knee airbag will not deploy.
For item location: See Quick start (page
8).
23

Occupant protection

Note:
The knee airbag has a lower deployment threshold than the front airbags. During a minor collision, it is possible that only the knee airbag deploys.
Side airbags
E72658
Side airbags are fitted inside the seatback of the front seats. A label indicates that side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.
The side airbags will deploy during significant lateral collisions. The airbags will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus providing protection for the chest and shoulder areas. During minor lateral collisions, overturns, front collisions and rear collisions, the side airbags will not deploy.
Curtain airbags
E75004
Curtain airbags are fitted inside the trim panels over the front and rear side windows. Moulded badges in the B-pillar trim panels indicate that curtain airbags are fitted to your vehicle.
The curtain airbags will deploy during significant lateral collisions. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupants, thus providing protection for the head. During minor lateral collisions, front collisions, rear collisions, or overturns the curtain airbags will not deploy.
Seat belts
WARNINGS
Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a position to achieve its optimum effect. See Sitting in the correct position (page 76).
Never use a seat belt for more than
one person.
Use the correct buckle for each seat
belt.
24
Occupant protection
WARNINGS
Do not use a seat belt that is slack or twisted.
Do notwear thick clothing. The seat belt must fit tightly around your body to achieve its optimum effect.
Position the shoulder strap of the seat belt over the centre of your shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips.
The driver and front passenger seat belt retractors are fitted with a seat belt pretensioner. Seat belt pretensioners have a lower deployment threshold than the airbags. During minor collisions, it is possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will deploy.
Status after a collision
WARNING
Seat belts subjected to strain, as a result of an accident, should be renewed and the anchorages
checked by a properly trained technician.

FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS

WARNING
Insert the tongue into the buckle until you hear a distinct click. You have not fastened the seat belt
properly if you do not hear a click.
E74124
E85817
Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if you pull it sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.
Press the red button on the buckle to release the belt. Let it retract completely and smoothly.
25
Occupant protection

SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

E104440
Note:
Lifting the slider slightly while pressing the locking button makes it easier to release the locking mechanism.
To raise or lower, press the locking button on the adjuster and move as necessary.

SEAT BELT REMINDER

WARNING
The occupant protection system will only provide optimum protection when you use the seat belt properly.
The seat belt reminder warning lamp illuminates and an audible
warning will sound if the driver's or front seat passenger's seat belt has not been fastened and the vehicle exceeds a relatively low speed. It will also illuminate if the driver's or front seat passenger's seat belt is unfastened when the vehicle is moving. The audible warning will go off after five minutes but the seat belt reminder warning lamp will remain on until the driver's or front seat passenger's seat belt is fastened.
Deactivating the seat belt reminder
See your dealer.
