Diesel particulate filter (DPF)
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The DPF regeneration process creates very high exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during and after DPF regeneration, andafter you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.

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: ExtremeHazard! Donot 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.
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.
20

Child safety

Child safety seat
E68920
Secure children that weigh between 13 and 18 kilograms in a child safety seat (Group 1) 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.
Secure children that weigh more than 15 kilograms but are less than 150 centimetres tall in a booster
seat or a booster cushion.
CAUTION
When using a child seat on a rear seat, make sure that the child seat
rests tightly against the vehicle seat. It may be necessary to lift or remove the head restraint. See Head restraints (page 121).
Booster seat (Group 2)
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.
21
Child safety
Booster cushion (Group 3)
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.
When fitting a child seat using the
vehicle seat belts make sure the
belts are not slack.
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 22).
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 176).
1. Remove the head restraint. See
Head restraints (page 121).
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.

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: ExtremeHazard! Donot use
a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it!
Wear a seat beltand 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 118).
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
11).
27

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 beltand 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 118).
Never use a seat belt for more than
one person.
Use the correct buckle for each seat
belt.
