Check that the child restraint sys-
tem is secure by pushing and
pulling it in different directions.
Incorrectly fitted child restraints
may swing, twist, tip or separate
causing death or serious injury.
WARNING
- Child restraint anchorage
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circum-
stances are they to be used foradult seat belts or harnesses or
for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
The tether strap may not work properly if attached somewhereother than the correct tether
anchor.WARNING - Tether strap

single lower anchorage point. The
increased load caused by multiple
seats may cause the tethers or
anchorage points to break, causing
serious injury or death.

killed in a collision if the child
restraint is not properly anchored
to the car and the child is not prop-
erly restrained in the child restraint.

Curtain air bag (if equipped)
Curtain air bags are located along both
sides of the roof rails above the front and
rear doors.
They are designed to help protect the heads of the front seat occupants andthe rear outboard seat occupants in cer-
tain side impact collisions.The curtain air bags are designed to
deploy only during certain side impact
collisions, depending on the crash sever-
ity, angle, speed and impact. The curtain
air bags are not designed to deploy in all
side impact situations, collisions from the
front or rear of the vehicle or in most
rollover situations.
Important safety notes for curtain
airbag systems
Following is a number of safety points
concerning this system which should
always be observed to ensure risk of
injury is reduced in an accident.
WARNING
Before installing child restraints, always refer to "Child Restraint System" to ensure correct instal-
lation and occupant protection ismaximised.
Make sure that the occupant does not have any body parts
(head, arms & legs) protruding
outside the restraining system. If
an inflating airbag was to strike
an infant child on the head, it may
cause serious injury.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Ensure the opening for theCurtain Airbag System remains
unobstructed at all times, so that
the airbags can inflate properly ifneeded.
The built in coat hooks should only be used for light weight
clothing, ensure that pockets are
free of any heavy or sharp
objects. When using coat hooks,
do not hang clothes on coat
hangers.
The space between the occupant and the curtain airbag must never
be occupied by children, passen-
gers or pets. Occupants should
never lean out or have any parts
of their body protruding from the
window whilst the engine is run-ning.
Do not move the sun visor out to cover the side window if there is
an item attached to it such as
garage door remote control,
pens, air fresheners or the like.
These objects may cause injury if
the Curtain Airbag is deployed.

Where sun blinds are fitted to the
rear doors, these must not
obstruct or impair the airbag in
any way.
Do not install any accessories or children’s toys in the Curtain
Airbag deployment zones, as this
may impair the operation of the
system or throw parts of them
into the vehicle cabin causing
injury to occupants if the system
is deployed.
To maintain the integrity of the Curtain Airbag system, any work,
removal or installation of the
airbag and associated compo-
nents (such as roof lining and
side trims) should always be per-
formed by a qualified vehicle
repairer.WARNING
In order for side and curtain air bags to provide its best protec-
tion, both front seat occupants
and both outboard rear occu-pants should sit in an upright
position with the seat belts prop-
erly fastened. Importantly, chil-
dren should sit in a proper childrestraint system in the rear seat.
When children are seated in the rear outboard seats, they must be
seated in the proper child
restraint system. Make sure to
put the child restraint system as
far away from the door side as
possible, and secure the child
restraint system in a locked posi-tion.

doors, put their arms on the
doors, stretch their arms out of
the window, or place objects
between the doors and passen-
gers when they are seated onseats equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
