Child safety

ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS
You can fit ISOFIX child restraints using
the ISOFIX anchor points.
Your vehicle is fitted with ISOFIX anchor
points that accommodate universally
approved ISOFIX child restraints.
The ISOFIX system comprises of two rigid
attachment arms on the child restraint
that attach to anchor points on the rear
seats, where the cushion and backrest
meet.
A third anchor point has been provided
for child seats that are equipped with a
top tether, available for use in the forward
facing configuration.
The top tether anchors in your vehicle are
located on the floor of the luggage
compartment.
The tether strap should be routed
beneath the raised rear head restraint, to
the anchor point on the floor of the
luggage compartment. The anchor point
is identified by a pictogram.
After installing the child safety seat, tighten
the tether strap according to the
manufacturer's instructions. WARNING
Use an anti-rotation device when
using the ISOFIX system. We
recommend that you use a top
tether or a support leg. Attaching a child restraint with
a top tether
WARNING
Do not attach a tether strap to
anything other than the correct
tether anchor point.
Route the tether strap to the anchor point.
Tighten the tether strap to the
manufacturer's instructions.
WARNINGS
Make sure the top tether strap is not
slack or twisted and is properly
located on the anchor point.
Make sure that the seatback is
secure and fully engaged in the
catch.

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.

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.
