Radio frequency remote 
control operating range
This varies according to the surroun-
dings: take care not to lock or unlock 
the doors by inadvertently pressing the

Interference
Interference by factors in the imme-

the use of equipment operating on the 
same frequency as the remote control) 
may affect the operation of the remote 
control.
Replacement and additional keys 
or remote controls.
You must only contact an approved 
dealer:
–  If you need to replace a key it will  be necessary to take the vehicle 
and all of its keys to an approved 
Dealer in order to initialise the 
system.

four remote controls.
Remote control unit failure
Make sure that the correct battery 
type is being used, and that the bat-
tery is in good condition and inser-
ted correctly. These batteries have 
a service life of approximately two 
years.
Refer to Section 5: “Radio fre-
quency remote control: batteries” 
for the battery changing procedure.
The key must not be used for any 
function other than those described 
in the handbook (removing the cap 
from a bottle, etc.).
Driver’s responsibility 
when parking or stopping 
the vehicle

activating equipment such as the 
electric windows or locking the 
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, 
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly 
seated and strapped in for all journeys. 
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children 
are at risk of specific injuries as their 
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone 
would not provide suitable protection. 
Use an approved child seat and ensure 
you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph 
(50 km/h) is the same as fall-
ing a distance of 10 metres. 
Transporting a child without 
a restraint is the equivalent of allow-
ing him or her to play on a fourth-
floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your 
arms. In the event of an accident, 
you will not be able to keep hold of 
the child, even if you yourself are 
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in 
a road accident, replace the child 
seat and have the seat belts and 
ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
To prevent the doors being 
opened, use the “Child 
safety” device (refer to the 
information on “Opening 
and closing the doors” in Section 1).
Driver’s responsibility 
when parking or stopping 
the vehicle
Never leave an animal, 
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for 
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves 
or to others by starting the engine, 
activating equipment such as the 
electric windows or by locking the 
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, 
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)
Using a child seat
The level of protection offered by the 
child seat depends on its ability to re-
strain your child and on its installation. 
Incorrect installation compromises the 
protection it offers the child in the event 
of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a child seat, check 
that it complies with the regulations for 
the country you are in and that it can 
be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap-
proved dealer to find out which seats 
are recommended for your vehicle.
Before fitting a child seat, read the 
manual and respect its instructions. If 
you experience any difficulties during 
installation, contact the manufacturer 
of the equipment. Keep the instructions 
with the seat.Set a good example by always fas-
tening your seat belt and teaching 
your child:
–  to strap themselves in correctly;
–  to always get in and out of the car  at the kerb, away from busy traf-
fic.
Do not use a second-hand child 
seat or one without an instruction 
manual.
Check that there are no objects in 
the vicinity of the child seat which 
could impede its operation.
Never leave a child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is 
always strapped in and that 
the belt or safety harness used is 
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid 
wearing bulky clothing which could 
cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or 
arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct 
position for the entire journey, espe-
cially if asleep.

CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (1/3)
There are two ways of attaching child 
seats: via the seat belt or using the 
ISOFIX system.
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to 
ensure that it is effective in the event of 
harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated 
by the child seat manufacturer are re-
spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor-
rectly fastened by pulling it up, then 
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the 
child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by 
moving it from side to side and back 
to front: the seat should remain firmly 
fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been 
installed at an angle and that it is not 
resting against a window.
Do not use the child seat 
if it may unfasten the seat 
belt restraining it: the base 
of the seat must not rest on 
the buckle and/or catch of the seat 
belt.
The seat belt must never 
be twisted or the tension 
relieved. Never pass the 
shoulder strap under the 
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not 
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate nor-
mally, it will not protect the child. 
Consult an approved dealer. Do not 
use this seat until the seat belt has 
been repaired.
No modifications may be 
made to the component 
parts of the restraint system 
(seat belts, ISOFIX and 
seats and their mountings) originally 
fitted.
Attachment using the ISOFIX 
system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-
proved in accordance with regulation 
ECE-R44 in one of the three following 
cases:
–  ISOFIXuniversal 3-point forward-fac- ing seat;
–  ISOFIXsemi-universal 2-point seat;
– specific.
For the latter two, check that your child 
seat can be installed by consulting the 
list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX 
locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX 
system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings 
and, in some cases, a third ring.Before using an ISOFIX 
child seat that you pur-
chased for another vehicle, 
check that its installation is 
authorised. Consult the list of ve-
hicles which can be fitted with the 
seat from the equipment manufac-
turer.
