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.

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.

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 90).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 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
Side airbags are fitted inside the seatback
of the front seats. A label indicates that
side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.
