pelvis, not across the stomach, and always fit closely. Pull the belt tight if
necessary to take up any slack ⇒page 22, “Seat belts”.

Securing child seatsWays to secure a child seat
A child seat can be secured differently on th e rear seat and on the front passenger seat.You can secure a child seat to the rear seat or front passenger seat in the
following ways:•
Child seats in groups 0 to 3 can be secured with a seat belt.
•
Seats for children aged 0, 0+ and 1 with the “ISOFIX” system can be
secured without fastening seat belts, using the “ISOFIX” and/or Top Tether
securing rings ⇒page 52.
U: Suitable for universal approved rest raining systems for use in this age
category (universal retention systems are those fitted using the adult
seat belt).
*: Move the passenger seat as far to rear as possible, as high as possible and always deactivate the airbag.
L: Suitable for retention system s using the “ISOFIX” anchors.
WARNING
•
When travelling, children must be secured in the vehicle with a
restraint system suitable for age, weight and size.
•
Never install a child seat facing backwards (or rear-facing) on the front
passenger seat unless the front passenger airbag has been disabled. This
could cause fatal injuries to the child! However, if it is necessary, in excep- tional cases, to transport a child in the front passenger seat, the front
passenger airbag must always be disabled
⇒page 44, “Deactivating
airbags*” and move the seat to its h ighest position, in case it has this
adjustment.
•
Read and always observe information and warnings concerning the use
of child seats ⇒ in “Safety notes on using child seats” on page 46.

WARNING
The retainers employed for this child safety seat are specially designed for
the “ISOFIX” system. Never secure othe r child seats, seat belts or other
items into the retainers. If you do, you increase the risk of sustaining
severe or fatal injuries.Top Tether retainer straps
Some child restraint seats have a third anchoring point Top
Tether, apart from both “ISOFIX” anchoring points, which
allow a better child subjection.The Top Tether has an upper belt for the subjection to the vehicle upper
anchoring point, which is found on the rear luggage compartment cover. The retainer strap is used to reduce forwards movements of the safety seat in
a crash, helping reduce the risk of injuries to the head from hitting the inside
of the vehicle.
It is foreseen that the EU Board of Dire
ctors introduce requirements related to
the subjection of the children restra int systems by means of ISOFIX and Top
Tether anchorages (probably compulsory for new types from 2010), which will
entail a better subjection of the child restraint and less head movements in
case of frontal collisions.
Use of retainer straps on rear-facing seats
At present there are very few rear-facing child safety seats fitted with a
retainer strap. Please carefully read and follow the safety seat manufacturer's
instructions for information on how to install the retainer strap properly.
WARNING
An undue installation of the safety seat will increase the risk of injury in the
event of a crash.•
Never tie the retainer strap to a hook in the luggage compartment.
•
Never secure or tie the equipment or other items to the lower anchor-
ages (ISOFIX) or the upper ones (Top Tether).

Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge ⇒fig. 38 only works when the ignition is
switched on. In order to avoid engine damage, please read the following
notes for the different temperature ranges.
Cold temperature
If the needle is still on the left of the dial, this indicates that the engine has
not yet reached operating temperature. Avoid high revs and heavy accelera-
tion and do not make the engine work hard. Normal temperature
In normal operations, the needle will settle somewhere in the centre of the
dial once the engine has reached running temperature. The temperature may
also rise when the engine is working hard, especially at high outside temper-
atures. This is no cause for conc
ern, provided the warning lamp
does not
light up in the instrument panel.
Warning temperature
If the symbol
flashes in the display, this means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low ⇒page 77.
WARNING
•
Before opening the bonnet and checking the coolant level, observe the
warning information ⇒ page 213.
•
Never open the bonnet when steam or coolant is being released from it.
This could lead to burns. Wait until you can no longer see or hear escaping
steam or coolant.Caution
Accessories in front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect of the coolant. At
high outside temperatures and high engine loads, there is a risk of the
engine overheating.

If the warning lamp lights up continuously you should take your vehicle to a
specialist garage as soon as possible in order to have the fault rectified.
If the warning lamp flashes drive on at reduced speed and seek professional
help in order to avoid damage to the catalytic converter.
For further information on the catalytic converter ⇒page 182.Airbag system
This warning lamp monitors the airbag and belt tension
device system.The warning lamp
should light up for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on.
If the warning lamp does not go out, or if it lights up, flashes or flickers when
the vehicle is moving, this indicates a malfunction in the system.
WARNING
If a malfunction should occur, have the system checked immediately by a
specialist garage. Otherwise there is a risk that the airbag system and/or
belt tensioners may not be triggered in an accident.

The tyre pressure should be corrected as soon as possible if
it is too low.
