Transporting children safety
Important information regarding the
front passenger's airbag Fig. 19
Passenger's side sun visor: airbag
sticker. Fig. 20
On the rear frame of the passenger
side door: airbag sticker. A sticker with important information about
the passenger airbag is located on the pas-
senger's sun visor and/or on the passenger
side door frame. Read and always observe the safety information included in the follow-
ing chapters:
● Safety distance with respect to the passen-
ger airbag ››› page 16, Why wear a seat belt
and assume the correct sitting position? .
● Objects between the passenger and the
passenger side airbag ››› in Front airbags
on page 20 .
The p a
ssenger side front airbag, when ena-
bled, is a serious risk for a child that is facing
backward since the airbag can strike the seat
with such force that it can cause serious or
fatal injuries. Children up to 12 years old
should always travel on the rear seat.
Therefore we strongly recommend you to
transport children on the rear seats. This is
the safest location in the vehicle. Alternative-
ly, the front passenger airbag can be disa-
bled with a key-operated switch ››› page 22.
When transporting children, use a child seat
suitable for the age and size of each child
››› page 24. WARNING
● If a child seat is secured to the front pas-
senger seat, the risk to the child of sustain-
ing critical or fatal injuries in the event of an
accident increases.
● An inflating front passenger airbag can
strike the rear-facing child seat and project it with great force against the door, the roof or
the backrest.
●
Never install a child seat facing backwards
on the front passenger seat unless the front
passenger front airbag has been disabled.
Risk of potentially fatal injuries to the child!
However, if it is necessary, in exceptional ca-
ses, to transport a child in the front passen-
ger seat, the front passenger front airbag
must always be disabled ››› page 22. If the
front passenger seat has a height adjustment
option, move it to the highest position.
● For those vehicles that do not include a key
lock switch to deactivate the airbag, the vehi-
cle must be taken to a technical service.
● All vehicle occupants, especially children,
must assume the proper sitting position and
be properly belted in while travelling.
● Never hold children or babies on your lap,
this can result in potentially fatal injuries to
the child!
● Never allow a child to be transported in a
vehicle without being properly secured, or to
stand up or kneel on a seat while travelling.
In an accident, the child could be flung
through the vehicle, causing possibly fatal in-
juries to themselves and to the other vehicle
occupants.
● If children assume an improper sitting posi-
tion when the vehicle is moving, they expose
themselves to greater risk of injury in the
event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an
accident. This is particularly important if the
child is travelling on the front passenger seat » 25

ing systems for use in this age category
(universal retention systems are those
fitted using the adult seat belt).
Move the front passenger seat as far
back as possible, as high as possible
and always disable the airbag.
Suitable for retention systems using the
“ISOFIX” and Top Tether* anchors. WARNING
● When travelling, children must be secured
in the vehicle with a restraint system suitable
for age, weight and size.
● Read and always observe information and
warnings concerning the use of child seats

Top Tether* securing ring. Child seats with the “ISOFIX” or Top Tether*
system can be secured quickly, easily and
safely on the rear outer seats.
When removing or fitting the child seat,
please be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
– Move the rear seat as far to the rear as it
will go.
– Press the child seat onto the “ISOFIX” re-
taining rings until the child seat can be
heard to engage. If the child seat is equip-
ped with Top Tether* anchor points, secure
it to the correspondent ring. Observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
– Pull on both sides of the child seat to en-
sure that it is secure.
Two “ISOFIX” retaining rings are fitted on
e ac
h rear seat. In some vehicles, the rings
are secured to the seat frame and, in others,
they are secured to the rear floor. Access to the “ISOFIX” rings is between the rear seat
backrest and the seat cushioning. The Top
Tether* rings are located at the rear of the
backrests of the rear seats (behind the seat
backrest or in the boot).
Child seats with the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether*
attachment system are available from Techni-
cal Services.
WARNING
● The retaining rings are designed only for
use with “ISOFIX” and Top Tether* system
child seats.
● Never secure other child seats that do not
have the “ISOFIX” or Top Tether* system, or
retaining belts or objects to the fastening
rings - this can result in potentially fatal inju-
ries to the child.
● Ensure that the child seat is secured cor-
rectly using the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether* se-
curing rings. 27

Instruments and warning lamps
Rev counter The red part of the rev counter scale
1›››
Fig. 24 ››› page 30 marks the area where
the engine control unit begins to limit the en-
gine speed. The engine control unit is re-
sponsible for reducing the revs to a safe lim-
it.
Before the needle reaches the red zone
change up into a higher gear, or move the se-
lector lever of the automatic gearbox to D.
In order to drive at an optimum RPM, follow
the gear change indications ››› page 32. For the sake of the environment
Changing to higher gears in advance helps to
reduce fuel consumption and noise levels,
helps to protect the environment and benefits
both the useful life and the reliability of the
engine. Speedometer
Speed warning
An audible warning will be heard when 120
km/h (75 mph) is exceeded. If the speed falls
below this limit, the audible warning
switches off. Note
This function is only valid for certain coun-
tries. Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauge
4
››› Fig. 24
››› page 30 only works when the ignition is
sw it
ched on.
Damage to the engine can be avoided by ob-
serving the indications regarding the temper-
ature zones.
Engine cold
If the needle is still on the left of the scale,
the engine has not yet reached operating
temperature. Avoid high engine speeds, hard
acceleration and subjecting the engine to
high loads.
Operating temperature zone
When the needle has reached the central part
of the scale, this means the engine has
reached operating temperature. Running the
engine at full throttle and the high tempera-
tures involved can cause the needle to be
positioned in the zone on the right. CAUTION
The additional headlights and other parts
placed in front of the fresh air inlets reduce
the effect of engine cooling. With high out-
side temperatures and engine speeds a risk
becomes present of the engine overheating.

Instruments and warning lamps
Go to a technical service.
Particulate filter (diesel engines)The particulate filter eliminates soot from
emissions. The particles accumulate in the
filter where they are normally burned off.
If the warning lamp
is illuminated, the fil-
ter is obstructed by soot.
In order for the filter to clean itself (if the traf-
fic conditions ››› so permit) it is essential
to drive for at least 15 minutes (or until the
warning lamp switches off) with 4th or 5th
gear engaged (automatic gearbox: position
S) at a minimum speed of 60 km/h (37 mph)
with the engine speed between
1,800-2,500 rpm.
The warning lamp switches off once the
filter has been successfully cleaned.
If the cleaning process is not successful, the
warning lamp does not switch off and the
warning lamp starts to flash.
The informative display indicates:
Diesel particulate filter. Instruction Manual!
The engine control unit allows driving to con-
tinue in an emergency program. When
switching the ignition off and on again, the
warning lamp also illuminates.
Go to a technical service. WARNING
● The particulate filter attains very high tem-
peratures. Therefore, do not park the vehicle
in places where the exhaust pipe could come
into contact with dry grass or with highly-
flammable materials. Risk of fire! CAUTION
While the warning lamp is lit up, the fuel
c
onsumption is high, and in certain condi-
tions, the engine power is reduced. Note
● In order for the particulate filter to burn off
soot in a correct manner, avoid carrying out
frequent short journeys.
● Using diesel fuel with a high sulphur count
can considerably reduce the useful life of the
particulate filter. The specialised service pro-
vides information about the countries where
fuel with a high sulphur content is used. Fuel reserve
The warning lamp illuminates when ap-
proximately only 7 litres of fuel remain in the
tank
The informative display indicates:
