BOOSTER CUSHIONS
WARNINGS
Do not install a booster seat or a

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.
Make sure that your children sit in
an upright position.
Secure children that weigh more
than 15 kilograms but are less than
150 centimetres tall in a booster
seat or a booster cushion. CAUTION

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.

C Automatic wiper system
Some models without autowipers are
fitted with a speed-dependent front
screen wiper system.
When the vehicle is slowed to walking
speed or is brought to a standstill, the
wiper speed will automatically switch to
the next lower wiper speed setting.
When the vehicle speed is increased, the
wiper speed will return to the
manually-chosen setting.
Moving the wiper lever when the system
is operating will switch off the system.
If the vehicle is again slowed to walking
speed or is brought to a standstill, the
system is reactivated.
AUTOWIPERS
CAUTIONS
Do not switch autowipers on in dry
weather conditions. The rain sensor
is very sensitive and the wipers may
operate if dirt, mist or flies hit the
windscreen. Replace the wiper blades as soon as
they begin to leave bands of water
and smears. If you do not replace
them, the rain sensor will continue to
detect water on the windscreen and the
wipers will operate, even though the
majority of the windscreen is dry. Fully defrost the windscreen in icy
conditions before you switch
autowipers on.
Switch autowipers off before you
enter a car wash.

High sensitivity
C
If you switch autowipers on, the wipers
will not cycle until water is detected on
the windscreen. The rain sensor will then
continuously measure the amount of
water on the windscreen and adjust the
speed of the wipers automatically.
Adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor
using the rotary control. With low
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a lot of water on the
windscreen. With high sensitivity, the
wipers will operate if the sensor detects
a small amount of water on the
windscreen.
WINDSCREEN WASHERS WARNING
Do not operate the washer for more
than 10 seconds at a time, and
never when the reservoir is empty.
While the button at the end of the lever is

conjunction with the wipers.
After releasing the button, the wipers
operate for a short time.
