(Group 1) in the rear seat.
CHILD SEAT POSITIONING
Vehicles with under floor
storage
WARNINGS
When you are using a child seat with
a support leg, make sure that you
install the foam spacer correctly
inside the storage compartment and that
you position the cover correctly. WARNINGS
If the foam spacer is damaged or
missing, remove the storage
compartment cover and extend the
leg to the base of the compartment. All vehicles
WARNING
When fitting a child seat using the
vehicle seat belts make sure the
belts are not slack.
CAUTION
When using a child seat on a rear
seat, make sure that the child seat
rests tightly against the vehicle seat.
It may be necessary to lift or remove the
head restraint. See Head restraints
(page 90). Note:When using a child seat on a front
seat, it may prove difficult to tighten the lap section of the seat belt without slackremaining. If this is the case, adjust theseatback to the fully upright position and
raise the height of the seat. See Seats
(page 90). Mass group categories

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.
22
Occupant protectionE74302 E72658

The side airbags will deploy during
significant lateral collisions. Only the airbag
on the side affected by the collision 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 chest and
shoulder areas. During minor lateral
collisions, overturns, front collisions and
rear collisions, the side airbags will not
deploy.
Curtain airbags
Curtain airbags are fitted inside the trim
panels over the front and rear side
windows. Moulded badges in the B-pillar
trim panels indicate that curtain airbags
are fitted to your vehicle.
The curtain airbags will deploy during
significant lateral collisions. Only the airbag
on the side affected by the collision will
deploy. The airbag will inflate within a few
thousandths of a second and deflate on
contact with the occupants, thus
providing protection for the head. During
minor lateral collisions, front collisions, rear
collisions, or overturns the curtain airbags
will not deploy. Seat belts WARNINGS
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 to achieve its optimum effect.
See Sitting in the correct position
(page 90). Never use a seat belt for more than
one person.
Use the correct buckle for each seat
belt.
Do not use a seat belt that is slack
or twisted.
Do not wear thick clothing. The seat
belt must fit tightly around your body
to achieve its optimum effect.
Position the shoulder strap of the
seat belt over the centre of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips. The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are fitted with a seat belt
pretensioner. Seat belt pretensioners
have a lower deployment threshold than
the airbags. During minor collisions, it is
possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will deploy.
Status after a collision
WARNING
Seat belts subjected to strain, as a
result of an accident, should be
renewed and the anchorages
checked by a properly trained technician. 23

Deactivating the seat belt
reminder
See your dealer.
USING SEAT BELTS DURING
PREGNANCY
WARNING
Position the seat belt correctly for
your safety and that of your unborn
child. Do not use only the lap strap
or the shoulder strap. Position the lap strap comfortably across
your hips and low beneath your pregnant
abdomen. Position the shoulder strap
between your breasts, above and to the
side of your pregnant abdomen.
DISABLING THE
PASSENGER AIRBAG
WARNING
Make sure that the passenger
airbag is disabled when using a
rearward facing child restraint on the
front passenger seat. Fitting the passenger airbag
deactivation switch
WARNING
If you need to fit a child restraint on
a seat protected by an operational
airbag in front of it, have a
passenger airbag deactivation switch
fitted. Ask your dealer for further
information. Note:The key switch is located in the
glove compartment with an airbag deactivation lamp in the instrument panel.
If the airbag warning lamp illuminates or
flashes when you are driving, this indicates
a malfunction. See Warning lamps and
indicators (page 64). Remove the child
restraint and have the system checked
immediately.

engine is overheating. Stop the engine,
switch the ignition off and determine the
cause
once the engine has cooled

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.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Adjusting the head restraint WARNINGS
Raise the rear head restraint when
the rear seat is occupied by a
passenger.
When using a forward facing child
restraint on a rear seat, always
remove the head restraint from that
seat. Adjust the head restraint so that the top
of it is level with the top of your head.
Removing the head restraint
Press the locking buttons and remove the
head restraint.
