Beyond the warning required by ECE R94.02, for safety reasons a forward-facing child restraint system must only be used subject to the instructions and restrictions in the tables 3 49.
The airbag label is located on both sides of the front passenger sun visor.
Airbag deactivation 3 45.

Front airbag system

The front airbag system consists of one airbag in the steering wheel and one in the instrument panel on the front passenger side. The location is identified by the word AIRBAG.
The front airbag system is triggered in the event of a front-end impact of a certain severity. The ignition must be switched on.
44 Seats, restraints
The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and head of the front seat occupants considerably.
9 Warning
Optimum protection is only provided when the seat is in the proper position.
Seat position 3 35. Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions. Fit the seat belt correctly and
engage securely. Only then is the airbag able to protect.

Side airbag system

The side airbag system consists of an airbag in each front seat backrest. The location is identified by the word AIRBAG.
The side airbag system is triggered in the event of a side impact of a certain severity. The ignition must be switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and pelvis in the event of a side-on collision considerably.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions.
Note Only use protective seat covers that have been approved for the vehicle. Be careful not to cover the airbags.
Seats, restraints 45

Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbag system consists of an airbag in the roof frame on each side. The location is identified by the word AIRBAG on the roof pillars.
The curtain airbag system is triggered in the event of a side-on impact of a certain severity. The ignition must be switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the head in the event of a side-on impact considerably.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions.
The hooks on the handles in the roof frame are only suitable for hanging up light articles of clothing, without coat hangers. Do not keep any items in these clothes.

Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system must be deactivated for a child restraint system on the passenger seat according to the instructions in the tables 3 49.

Remove rear head restraint before mounting a child restraint system, if required 3 34.
48 Seats, restraints
Selecting the right system
The rear seats are the most convenient location to fasten a child restraint system.
Children should travel facing rearwards in the vehicle as long as possible. This ensures that the child's backbone, which is still very weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident.
Suitable are restraint systems that comply with valid UN ECE regulations. Check local laws and regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems.
Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the vehicle type.
Refer to the tables on the following pages, the instructions supplied with the child restraint system and the vehicle type list of non-universal child restraint systems.
The following child restraints are recommended for the following weight classes:
● Group 0, Group 0+ Maxi Cosi Cabriofix with ISOFIX
base, for children up to 13 kg
● Group I Duo Plus with ISOFIX and Top
tether, for children from 9 kg to 18 kg in this group
● Group II, Group III Kidfix XP with or without ISOFIX
for children from 15 kg to 36 kg Nania / OSANN Dream Booster
with or without ISOFIX for children from 22 kg to 36 kg
Ensure that the mounting location of the child restraint system within the vehicle is correct, see following tables.
Allow children to enter and exit the vehicle only on the side facing away from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.
Note Do not affix anything on the child restraint systems and do not cover them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which has been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced.

Loading information

● Heavy objects in the load compartment should be placed against the seat backrests. Ensure that the backrests are securely engaged. If objects can be stacked, heavier objects should be placed at the bottom.
● Prevent sliding of loose objects by securing them with straps attached to the lashing eyes.
● When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrests of the rear seats must not be angled forward.
● Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the backrests.
● Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the instrument panel, and do not cover the sensor on top of the instrument panel.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking brake and gear selector lever, or
hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any unsecured objects in the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment.
9 Warning
Always make sure that the load in the vehicle is securely stowed. Otherwise objects can be thrown around inside the vehicle and cause personal injury or damage to the load or vehicle.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross vehicle weight (see identification plate 3 168) and the EC kerb weight.
To calculate the payload, enter the data for your vehicle in the weights table at the front of this manual.
The EC kerb weight includes weights for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerb weight.
● Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds and has a detrimental effect on vehicle handling due to the vehicle's higher centre of gravity. Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly with retaining straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and vehicle speed according to the load conditions. Check and retighten the straps frequently.
The permissible roof load for vehicles with roof railing is 50 kg. The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack and the load.

Cooling A/C
Press A/C to switch on cooling. The LED in the button illuminates to indicate activation. Cooling is only functional when the engine is running and climate control fan is switched on.
Press A/C again to switch off cooling. The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) as soon as the outside temperature is slightly above the freezing point. Therefore condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required, switch off the cooling system for fuel saving reasons.
Activated cooling may inhibit Autostops.

9 Warning
Driving with recirculation mode for a prolonged period of time can make you sleepy. Periodically turn to the outside air mode for fresh air.
The exchange of fresh air is reduced in air recirculation mode. In operation without cooling the air humidity increases, so the windows may mist up. The quality of the passenger compartment air deteriorates, which may cause the vehicle occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen may mist up from outside, when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen mists up from outside, activate windscreen wiper and deactivate V.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot air can disperse quickly.
