When installing
achild restraint system in your ve-
hicle, always follow the child restraint system manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation. For additional
information, see “Child restraints” earlier in this sec-
tion.
SRS air bag warning light
The supplemental air bag warning light, displaying in the instrument panel, monitors the circuits
for the air bag systems, pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem (where fitted) and all related wiring.
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, the
SRS air bag warning light illuminates for about 7
seconds and then turns off. This indicates that the
SRS air bag systems are operational.
Have the air bag systems and/or pre-tensioner seat
belt systems serviced at the nearest approved dealer
or qualified workshop if any of the following condi-
tions occur:
• The SRS air bag warning light remains on after
approximately
7seconds. •
The SRS air bag warning light flashes intermit-
tently.
• The SRS air bag warning light does not illumi-
nate at all.
Under these conditions, the air bag and/or pre-
tensioner seat belt system may not operate prop-
erly. They must be checked and repaired. Contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop immedi-
ately. SP A1097Z
Safety—seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-35

•
Tampering with the supplemental air bag sys-
tems may result in serious personal injury.
Tampering includes changes to the steering
wheel and the instrument panel by placing
materials over the steering wheel pad and
above, around or on the instrument panel or
by installing additional trim materials around
the supplemental air bag systems.
• Work on and around the supplemental air bag
systems should be done by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop. The SRS wiring
should not be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorised electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on the
supplemental air bag systems.
• The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-
low for easy identification.
• Never install
arear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the passenger air bag with the
front passenger air bag switch. In afrontal
collision, supplemental front-impact air bags
inflate with great force. An inflating supple-
mental front-impact air bag could seriously
injure or kill your child.
When the air bags inflate, afairly loud noise may be
heard, followed by the release of smoke. This smoke
is not harmful and does not indicate afire. Care
should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irri-
tation and choking. Those with ahistory of abreath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly. Supplemental front-impact air bag
system
The driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag is
located at the centre of the steering wheel. The pas-
senger’s supplemental front-impact air bag is lo-
cated at the instrument panel above the glove box.
The supplemental front-impact air bag system is de-
signed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of
ahigher severity fron-
tal impact. It may not inflate in certain frontal colli-
sions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental front-impact air
bag system operation. WARNING
Never install
arear-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat without first deacti-
vating the passenger air bag with the front pas-
senger air bag switch (where fitted), see “Front
passenger air bag switch (where fitted)” later in
this section. In afrontal collision, supplemental
front-impact air bags inflate with great force. An
inflating supplemental front-impact air bag could
seriously injure or kill your child. Front passenger air bag status light (where fit-
ted):
WARNING
• Since your vehicle is equipped with
af
ront
passenger air bag, it is not permitted to install
ar earward facing child restraint on the front
passenger seat unless the front passenger air
bag has been deactivated first. NP A1531

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indi-
cation of proper supplemental driver’s knee air bag
system operation.
Supplemental side-impact air bag
system (where fitted)
The supplemental side-impact air bag is located at
the outside of the front seats’ seatbacks.
The supplemental side-impact air bag system is de-
signed to inflate in higher severity side collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of ahigher severity side
impact. It may not inflate in certain side collisions.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indi-
cation of proper supplemental side-impact air bag
system operation. Supplemental curtain side-impact air
bag system (where fitted)
The supplemental curtain side-impact air bag is lo-
cated at the roof rails.
The supplemental curtain side-impact air bag sys-
tem is designed to inflate in higher severity side col-
lisions, although it may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of ahigher se-
verity side impact. It may not inflate in certain side
collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not al-
ways an indication of proper supplemental curtain
side-impact air bag system operation.
PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT
SYSTEM (where fitted) WARNING
• The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be reused
after activation. It must be replaced together
with the retractor and buckle as aunit.
• If the vehicle becomes involved in
acollision
but the pre-tensioner is not activated, be sure
to have the pre-tensioner system checked
and, if necessary, replaced by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop.
• No unauthorised changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system. This is to prevent accidental
activation of the pre-tensioner seat belt or
damage to the pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem. •
Work around or on the pre-tensioner seat belt
system should be done by an approved dealer
or qualified workshop. The SRS wiring should
not be modified or disconnected. Unautho-
rised electrical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt system.
• If you need to dispose of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system, or scrap the vehicle, contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop.
Correct pre-tensioner disposal procedures are set forth in the appropriate maintenance
service manual. Incorrect disposal proce-
dures could cause personal injury.
The pre-tensioner is encased with the front seat
belt’s retractor and anchor. These seat belts are
used the same as conventional seat belts.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates, afairly
loud noise may be heard, followed by the release of
smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does not indi-
cate afire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as
it may cause irritation and choking. Those with ahis-
tory of abreathing condition should get fresh air
promptly. SSS1092Z

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
warning light (where fitted)
When the DPF warning light illuminates, it indicates
that particulate matter is accumulated to the speci- fied amount of the limit in the filter and the filter
needs to regenerate. For filter regeneration details,
see “Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) (where fitted)” in
the “5. Starting and driving” section.
CAUTION
If you continue driving with the DPF warning light
on without performing the filter regeneration, this
will lead to particulate matter overload in the fil-
ter.
If this occurs, then the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) will turn on. The performance of the engine
might be limited to protect the DPF system. See
an approved dealer or qualified workshop to per-
form the service regeneration. Door open warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
door open warning light illuminates if any of the doors
are open or not closed securely. Electronic Stability Programme
(ESP) warning light (where fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) warning light illuminates and then turns off. The warning light blinks when the ESP system is
operating.
When the warning light blinks while driving, the driv-
ing condition is slippery and the vehicle’s traction
limit is about to be exceeded.
If the ESP warning light illuminates while the engine
is running or while driving, it may indicate that the
ESP system is not functioning properly and may
need servicing. Have the system checked, and if
necessary repaired, by an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop promptly. If amalfunction occurs, the
ESP function is turned off, but the vehicle is still driv-
able. (See “Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
system (where fitted)” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.) Engine oil pressure warning light

engine oil pressure warning light illuminates. After
starting the engine, the engine oil pressure warning
light turns off. This indicates that the oil pressure
sensors in the engine are operational.
If the engine oil pressure warning light illuminates or
blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate
that the engine oil pressure is low.
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible. Stop
the engine immediately and call an approved dealer
or qualified workshop. CAUTION
• Running the engine with the engine oil pres-
sure warning light illuminated could cause se-
rious damage to the engine.
• The engine oil pressure warning light is not
designed to indicate
alow oil level. The oil
level should be checked using the dipstick.

“8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.) Engine temperature warning
light (red/blue) (where fitted)
High temperature indicator light (Red):
The red warning light comes on when the engine
overheats. WARNING
If the high temperature warning light illuminates
while the engine is running, it may indicate the
engine temperature is extremely high. Stop the
vehicle safely as soon as possible. If the vehicle
is overheated, continuing vehicle operation may
seriously damage the engine.
• If the engine coolant temperature warning
light (RED) comes on while driving, stop the
vehicle as soon as possible and contact an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
• When towing
atrailer or driving uphill, reduce
the vehicle speed as soon as safely possible
to decrease the engine coolant temperature.
