Pass on this handbook when
selling your vehicle. It is an integral part of
the vehicle.

This vehicle has received both the
endorsement of TÜV, the accredited
international testing organisation, and
been awarded the British Allergy
Foundation’s Seal of Approval’ for its
allergy-friendly properties.

All materials used in the manufacture of
the interior of this vehicle meet strict
requirements of the TÜV TOXPROOF
Criteria Catalogue for Vehicle Interiors by

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS

E68945

You can fit ISOFIX child restraints using
the ISOFIX anchor points.

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

The ISOFIX system comprises oftwo rigid
attachment arms on the child restraint
that attach to anchor points on the rear
seats, where the cushion and backrest
meet.

A third anchor point has been provided
for child seats that are equipped with a
top tether, available for use in the forward
facing configuration.

The toptether anchors in your vehicle are
located on the floor of the luggage
compartment.

The tether strap should be routed
beneath the raised rear head restraint, to
the anchor point on the floor of the
luggage compartment. The anchor point
is identified by a pictogram.

After installing the child safety seat, tighten
the tether strap according to the
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: 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 88).

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.

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.

22

Occupant protection

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.

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. Only the airbag
on the side affected by the collision will
deploy. 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 88).

Never use a seat belt for more than

one person.

Use the correct buckle for each seat

belt.

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
buckles 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.

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.

23

Occupant protection

E74124

E85817

Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if you
pull it sharply or if the vehicle is ona slope.

Press the red button on the buckle to
release the belt. Let it retract completely
and smoothly.

SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

E87511

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

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Outside air

Keep the air intakes forward of the
windscreen free from obstruction (snow,
leaves etc.) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.

Recirculated air

CAUTION

Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to mist up. If the

windows mist up, follow the settings
for defrosting and demisting the
windscreen.

The air currently in the passenger
compartment will be recirculated. Outside
air will not enter the vehicle.

Heating

Heating performance depends on the
temperature of the engine coolant.

Air conditioning

Note:

The air conditioning operates only
when the temperature is above 4ºC
(39ºF).

Note:

If you use the air conditioning, the
fuel consumption of your vehicle will be
higher.

Air is directed through the evaporator
where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted
from the air to help keep the windows free
of mist. The resulting condensation is
directed to the outside of the vehicle and
it is therefore normal if you see a small
pool of water under your vehicle.

General information on
controlling the interior climate

Fully close all the windows.

Warming the interior

Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or
humid weather conditions, direct some
of the air towards the windscreen and the
door windows.

Cooling the interior

Direct the air towards your face.

AUXILIARY HEATER

Parking heater

WARNINGS

The parking heater must not be
operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or

dust or in enclosed spaces.

The parking heater should be
switched on for approximately 10

minutes at least once a month all
year round. This prevents the water pump
and heater motor from seizing.

To avoid corrosion, the coolant in

your vehicle should contain at least

10 % antifreeze all year round.

Note:

The parking heater will only
operate if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6
gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank and the
ambient temperature is below 15°C
(59°F). The heater will not operate if the
battery is low.

Note:

The heating depends on the
outside air temperature.

Note:

When the parking heater is
activated, exhaust fumes may come from
under the sides of the vehicle. This is
normal.

Note:

On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior
is dependent on the temperature, air
distribution and blower control settings.

The parking heater operates
independently of the vehicle heater by
heating the engine’s coolant circuit. It is
fed from the vehicle fuel tank. You can
also use it while the vehicle is in motion to
help the vehicle heater warm up the
interior more quickly.

Used properly, the parking heater
provides the following benefits:

•

It preheats the interior of the vehicle.

•

It keeps the windows clear of ice in
the event of frost and prevents
condensation.

•

It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating
temperature sooner.

To prevent the battery from discharging:

•

Once the parking heater has
performed one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only
be carried out if you have started the
vehicle’s engine in between.

•

After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.
