Airbags
WARNINGS
Do not modify the front of your
vehicle in any way. This could
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags. 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 109). 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. Front airbags
The driver airbag, front passenger airbag
and the seat belt pretensioners 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 and curtain airbags
During significant lateral collisions, only
the airbags on the side affected by the
collision and the seat belt pretensioners
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 body. The side
and curtain airbags will not deploy during
minor lateral collisions, front collisions, rear
collisions or overturns.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When you turn the system off no further
alerts will be received. The BLIS warning
indicator will illuminate. See Warning
Lamps and Indicators (page 79).
Detection errors
Note:
The alert indicator in the mirror will
not illuminate.
If the system senses a fault on either
sensor, the system warning symbol will
illuminate and remain on. The information
display will confirm the fault and indicate
whether the left or right side is affected.
Blocked sensor WARNING
Prior to the system recognizing a
blocked condition and issuing a
warning, the number of missed
objects will increase. CAUTION
The sensors may not detect vehicles
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
Note:
Keep the rear bumper area
surrounding the sensors free from dirt, ice
and snow.
If a sensor becomes blocked the system
performance may degrade. A blocked
sensor message may be displayed.
The system will automatically return to
normal operation once two other vehicles
have been detected on both sides. Trailer towing false alerts CAUTION
Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly be detected. Switch the
system off to avoid false alerts. See
Information Displays (page 83). If the vehicle is fitted with a trailer tow
module approved by us, the system will
detect a connected trailer and deactivate.
A confirmation message will be shown in
the information display. See Information
Messages (page 90). The BLIS warning
indicator will illuminate. See Warning
Lamps and Indicators (page 79).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine SITTING IN THE CORRECT
POSITION
WARNINGS
Do not adjust the seats when the
vehicle is moving.
Only when you use the seat belt
properly, can it hold you in a position
that allows the airbag to achieve its
optimum effect. When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seat belt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a collision. We recommend that you:
•
sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.
• do not recline the seatback more than
30 degrees.
• adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forwards as possible,
remaining comfortable.
• keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 250
millimetres (10 inches) between your
breastbone and the airbag cover.
• hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent. •
bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.
• position the shoulder strap of the seat
belt over the centre of your shoulder
and position the lap strap tightly across
your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine TOWING A TRAILER
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph).
The rear tyre pressures must be
increased by 0.2 bar (3 psi) above
specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 209). Do not exceed the maximum gross
train weight stated on the vehicle
identification plate. See Vehicle
identification (page 214). CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible nose weight, i.e. vertical
weight on the tow ball, of 75
kilogrammes (165 pounds). Note:
Not all vehicles are suitable or
approved to have tow bars fitted. Check
with your dealer first.
Place loads as low and central to the
axle(s) of the trailer as possible. If you are
towing with an unladen vehicle, the load
in the trailer should be placed toward the
nose, within the maximum nose load, as
this gives the best stability.
The stability of the vehicle to trailer
combination is very much dependant on
the quality of the trailer.
In high altitude regions above 1000 metres
(3281 feet), the stipulated maximum
permitted gross train weight must be
reduced by 10% for every additional 1000
metres (3281 feet).
Steep gradients WARNING
The overrun brake on a trailer is not
controlled by ABS. Change down a gear before you reach a
steep downhill gradient.
RETRACTABLE TOW BALL
CAUTION
Only move the tow ball arm with your
hand. Never use your foot or auxiliary
tools as damage to the mechanism
may result. You can turn the retractable tow ball arm
through 90 degrees using the handwheel
A.
A 13-pin trailer socket B is provided
underneath the rear bumper next to the
tow ball arm C.
