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.

When the engine immobiliser 
system is activated, the handbrake 
cannot be released.

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.
