Lift the catch to release the table and
unfold it.
Aircraft style tables
Reading lamps are built into the back of
the front seats, behind the tables. With
the ignition on, they light up the top of
the table without inconveniencing other
passengers.
They are only accessible if the table is
unfolded.
Press the button to switch the lamp
on or off.
Individual reading lamps
Do not place hard or heavy objects
on the table. They could become
dangerous projectiles in the event
of sharp braking or impact.
As a safety precaution, if too much
pressure is exerted the table will
fold downwards. Side blinds
Blinds are available for the side windows.
Pull the side blind longways by the tab
to use it.

Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child's
thighs.

with a seat belt guide at shoulder level. As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- a child or children alone and unsu-
pervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the
"Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the

The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an ac-
cident.

the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack relative to the child's body to a
minimum, even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
a n d t h a t i t s e c u r e s t h e c h i l d s e a t fi r m l y
on the seat of your vehicle.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle's seat and
that the head restraint does not cause
any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely to prevent it from being thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking. Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forwards-facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied
by other children, cannot be used or
are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag
when a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
