● In
vehicles with the LongLife system in
which the b

a long period of time, it is not possible to cal-
culate the date of the next service. Therefore
the service interval display may not be cor- rect. In this case, bear in mind the maximum
service intervals permitted in the ››› Book-
let Maintenance Programme.
● If you reset the display manually, the next
serv
ice interval will be indicated as in vehi-

Safety
●
Adju s
t the driver's seat so that there is at
least 25 cm distance between the centre of
the chest and the centre of the steering
wheel ››› Fig. 81. If you are sitting closer than
25 cm, the airbag system cannot protect you
properly.
● If your physical constitution prevents you
from m
aintaining the minimum distance of 25
cm, contact a specialised workshop. The
workshop will help you decide if special spe-
cific modifications are necessary.
● When driving, always hold the steering
wheel w
ith both hands on the outside of the
ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
This reduces the risk of injury when the driver
airbag is triggered.
● Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'cloc
k position, or in any other manner (e.g.
in the centre of the steering wheel). In such
cases, if the airbag is triggered, you may sus-
tain injuries to the arms, hands and head.
● To reduce the risk of injury to the driver
during s
udden braking manoeuvres or an ac-
cident, never drive with the backrest tilted far
back! The airbag system and seat belts can
only provide optimal protection when the
backrest is in an upright position and the
driver is wearing his or her seat belt correct-
ly.
● Adjust the head restraint properly to ach-
ieve optim
al protection. Adjusting the steering wheel position

● Make sure you are capable of reaching and
firmly
holding the upper part of the steering
wheel: risk of accident!
● If you adjust the steering wheel so that it
points
towards your face, the driver airbag
will not protect you properly in the event of
an accident. Make sure that the steering
wheel points towards your chest. Correct sitting position for front pas-
sen
g

er For your own safety and to reduce the risk of
injur
y

in the event of an accident, we recom-
mend the following adjustments for the front
passenger:
– Move the front passenger seat back as far
as

possible ››› .–
Mo v

e the seat backrest to an upright posi-
tion so that your back rests completely
against it.
– Adjust the head restraint so that its upper
edge i

s at the same level as the top of your
head, or as close as possible to the same
level as the top of your head ››› page 66.
– Always keep both feet in the footwell in
front

of the front passenger seat.
– Fasten your seat belt securely ››

ect sitting position of the front
passenger can lead to severe injuries.
● Adjust the front passenger seat so that
there i

Opening and closing
The childproof lock prevents the rear doors
fr om bein
g opened from the inside. This sys-
tem prevents minors from opening a door ac-
cidentally while the vehicle is running.
This function is independent of the vehicle
electronic opening and locking systems. It
only affects rear doors. It can only be activa-
ted and deactivated manually, as described
below:
Activating the childproof lock
– Unlock the vehicle and open the door in
which

you wish to activate the childproof
lock.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door us

ing the ignition key, clockwise
for the left hand side doors ››› Fig. 127 and
anti-clockwise for the right hand side
doors.
Deactivating the childproof lock
– Unlock the vehicle and open the door
whose c

hildproof lock you want to deacti-
vate.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door us

ing the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the left hand side doors ››› Fig. 127
and clockwise for the right hand side
doors.
Once the childproof lock is activated, the
door can only be opened from the outside. The childproof lock can be activated or deac-
tivat

ed by inserting the key in the groove
when the door is open, as described above.
Anti-theft alarm system* De
scription The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to
br
e

ak into the vehicle or steal it.
The anti-theft alarm is automatically turned
on when the vehicle is locked with the key.
● The turn signal light will flash twice on
openin g and de

activating the alarm.
● The turn signal light will flash once on clos-
ing and activ
ating the alarm.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The anti-theft alarm siren will be triggered for
about 30 seconds accompanied by sound
and optical (flashing) warning signals and
will be repeated about ten times when the
vehicle is locked and the following unauthor-
ised actions are attempted:
● Opening a door that is mechanically un-
lock
ed using the vehicle key without switch-
ing on the ignition in the next 15 seconds (in
certain markets, such as the Netherlands,
there is no 15 second waiting time and the alarm is activated immediately on opening
the door).
●
A door is opened.
● The bonnet is opened.
● The rear lid is opened.
● When the ignition is switched on with a
non-authori
sed key.
● When the vehicle battery is disconnected.
● Movement inside the vehicle (in vehicles
with int
erior monitoring ››› page 123).
● When the vehicle is towed (in vehicles with
anti-to
w system ››› page 123).
● When the vehicle is raised (in vehicles with
anti-to
w system ››› page 123).
● When the vehicle is transported on a ferry
or by
rail (vehicles with an anti-tow system or
vehicle interior monitoring ››› page 123).
● When a trailer connected to the anti-theft
alarm sy
stem is disconnected.
How to turn OFF the alarm
Unlock the vehicle with the unlocking button
on the key or turn on the ignition with a valid
key. Note
● Af t

er 28 days, the indicator light will be
switched off to prevent the battery from ex-
hausting if the vehicle has been left parked » 121
