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.

Original text according to ECE

R94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an air bag in front of it!

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.

WARNINGS

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.

A choice of ECE approved child restraints which have been specifically tested and approved for your vehicle 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 kilogrammes in a rearward facing baby safety seat in the rear seat.

Child safety

Child safety seat

E68920

Secure children that weigh between 13 and 18 kilogrammes in a child safety seat in the rear seat.

BOOSTER CUSHIONS

WARNINGS

Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with only the

lap strap of the seat belt.

Do not install a booster seat or a booster cushion with a seat

belt that is slack or twisted.

Do not put the seat belt under your child’s arm or behind its

back.

Do not use pillows, books or towels to boost your child’s

height.

Make sure that your children sit in an upright position.

WARNINGS

Secure children that weigh more

than 15 kilogrammes but are less than 150 centimetres tall in a booster seat or a booster cushion.

Booster seat

E70710

We recommend that you use a booster seat that combines a cushion with a backrest instead of a booster cushion only. The raised seating position will allow you to position the shoulder strap of the adult seat belt over the centre of your child’s shoulder and the lap strap tightly across its hips.

Child safety

Booster cushion

E68924

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS

When you are using a child

restraint with a support leg on a second row seat, make sure that you locate the support leg securely on the under floor storage compartment lid. Make sure that you install the foam spacer correctly inside the storage compartment and that you position the lid correctly.

When using a forward facing

child seat on a second or third row seat, always remove the head restraint from that seat.

Note:

When using a child seat on a second row seat, adjust the second row seat to the most practical position for the driver.

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS

WARNING

Use an anti-rotation device

when using the ISOFIX system. We recommend the use of a top tether or support leg.

Note:

When you are purchasing an ISOFIX restraint, make sure that you know the correct mass group and ISOFIX size class for the intended seating locations. See Child seat positioning (page 21).

Your vehicle is fitted with ISOFIX anchor points that accommodate universally approved ISOFIX child restraints.

The ISOFIX system comprises two rigid attachment arms on the child restraint 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 restraints with a top tether.

Top tether anchor points

E75532

Attaching a child seat with top tethers

WARNING

Do not attach a tether strap to anything other than the correct

tether anchor point.

Note:

Where applicable, remove the

luggage cover to ease installation. See Luggage covers (page 188).

1. Remove the head restraint. See

Head restraints (page 129).

WARNING

Make sure that the top tether

strap is not slack or twisted and is properly located on the anchor point.

2. Route the tether strap to the

anchor point.

Child safety

E75531

3. Push the child seat back firmly to engage the ISOFIX lower anchor points.

4. Tighten the tether strap in line with the child seat manufacturer's instructions.

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 126).

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 cloud of 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.

Occupant protection

Driver knee airbag

CAUTION

Do not attempt to open the driver knee airbag cover.

E86311

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.

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. Only the airbag on the side affected by the collision will deploy. 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.
