Risk of serious injury.

1.15
ENGINE IMMOBILISER
This prevents the vehicle being
driven by anyone not in possession
of the vehicle’s coded ignition key.
The vehicle is automatically protected
after the engine is switched off.
Any unauthorised work
carried out on the engine
immobiliser (computers,
wiring, etc.) could be dan-
gerous. Work must be carried out
by qualified personnel.
Operating principle
When the engine is started, warning
light 1 remains lit for a few seconds,
then goes out (refer to the information
on “Starting, stopping the engine” in
Section 2).
If the code is not recognised, the warn-
ing light flashes rapidly and the vehicle
will not start. Vehicle protection tell-tale light
After the ignition has been switched off,
warning light
1 flashes and the vehicle
is protected.
Operating fault warning light
If the warning light continues to flash or
stays lit up permanently following an at-
tempt to start the engine, this indicates
a fault in the system.
In this case, use the second key (sup-
plied with the vehicle). If the fault is still
present, contact your authorised dealer,
as only they are qualified to repair the
engine immobiliser system.
1
When the engine immobiliser
system is activated, the handbrake
cannot be released.

1.24
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 a booster 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
booster seat and have the seat belts
checked.
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 of injury, such
as by starting the engine or activat-
ing equipment.
Risk of serious injury.
Driver’s responsibility
Never use the storage
space as a booster seat for
a child or a pet. Otherwise,
this could place your child or pet in
danger, or endanger the driver, in
the event of hard braking or impact.
Risk of death or serious injuries.
