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

Note: When using a child seat on a front seat, always adjust the front passenger seat to its fully rearwards position. If it proves difficult to tighten the lap section of the seat belt without slack remaining, adjust the seatback to the fully upright position and raise the height of the seat. See Seats (page 89).

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 (33 pounds) but

tightly against the vehicle seat. It may be necessary to lift or remove the head restraint. See Head Restraints (page 89).
Booster seat (Group 2)
E70710

20
Child Safety
Booster cushion (Group 3)
E68924

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 of two 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 top tether 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.
WARNING
Use an anti-rotation device when using the ISOFIX system. We recommend that you use a top tether
or a support leg.
Attaching a child restraint with a top tether
E78828
WARNING
Do not attach a tether strap to anything other than the correct tether anchor point.
21
Child Safety
Route the tether strap to the anchor point. Tighten the tether strap to the manufacturer's instructions.
WARNINGS
Make sure the top tether strap is not slack or twisted and is properly located on the anchor point.
Make sure that the seatback is secure and fully engaged in the catch.

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 89).
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.
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.
23

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 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
89).
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 not wear 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.
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.
24
Occupant protection

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

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES

CAUTIONS
The radio frequency used by your remote control can also be used by
other short distance radio transmissions (e.g. amateur radios, medical equipment, wireless headphones, remote controls and alarm systems). If the frequencies are jammed, you will not be able to use your remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key.
Check your vehicle is locked before
leaving it unattended. This will
safeguard against any potential malicious frequency blocking.
Note: You could unlock the doors if you press the buttons on the remote control unintentionally.
The operating range between your remote control and your vehicle varies depending on the environment.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL

You can programme a maximum of eight remote controls to use with your vehicle (including any supplied with your vehicle). Ask your dealer for instructions.
