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

Integrated booster cushion

WARNINGS

Do not use the raised integrated booster cushion together with

a child safety seat.

The integrated booster cushion

can be used for children that weigh between 22 and 36 kilogrammes (49 and 79 pounds).

CAUTION

Remove the rear seat head restraint unless the child's head

exceeds the top of the backrest. See Head restraints (page 127).

Unlocking

E94860

Note:

Make sure that the locking

mechanism is fully engaged.

E94861

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 SEAT POSITIONING

WARNINGS

When using a child restraint with

a support leg on a second row seat, make sure the support leg rests securely on the floor.

When using a forward facing

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

Note:

When using a child restraint 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

124).

Child safety

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.

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.

Note:

Where applicable, remove the

luggage cover to ease installation. See Luggage covers (page 174).

Child safety

Note:

On 4-door vehicles, make sure the tether strap tightening mechanism remains accessible when the seatback is fully engaged.

E87591

1. Place the child seat on the back

seat cushion and fold the relevant seatback forwards. See Rear seats (page 127).

properly located on the anchor point.

3. Route the tether strap to the

anchor point.

WARNING

Make sure that the seatback is secure and fully engaged in the

catch.

4. Push the seatback to the upright

position.

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 124).

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.
