. In these cases,
the vehicles occupants are protected in the conventional way by
the seat belts.
It is not possible to define globally when exactly the Air Bag system
will be triggered given that the circumstances of each impact may
vary enormously.
During inflation, the Air Bag emits a fine dust. This is quite normal
and there is no fire risk.
K
Function of front airbags1)
When the system is triggered, the bags are inflated by gas opening
in front of the driver and passenger.
The Air Bag inflation is considerably rapid and takes fractions of a
second, to offer the best protection in the case of an accident.

Attaching child seats with the ISOFIX system
Where rear seats in the second row do not have an integrated child
seat, there are two fastening rings at each seat, between the
backrest and seat cushion
⇒ arrows.
With the ISOFIX system you can use these rings to attach a
maximum of three child seats. When you fit the child seat you must
be able to feel it set into place with a “clicking” noise on both
sides (installation sounds). Pull the child seat to check whether itis
in place (pull test!).
Safety for children
1)Not available in all countries.

Depending on the model version or the country, please keep in mind that
some of the messages may not appear in the fitted equipment* of your
vehicle or they may not correspond to the ones described in this
Instructions Manual as date of print.
For this reason, we recommend that for additional information you also
check carefully the "Warning lamps" chapter where you will find the different
symbols and a description of their operation.
While the ignition is switched on and you are driving the onboard
computer continuously checks the functioning of certain systems
and components of the vehicle.
Malfunctioning, repair work or urgent servicing is indicated by
acoustic signals and, depending on the priority, by red and yellow
warning lamps in the instrument panel.
In addition to red and yellow symbolsi in
