ISOFIX ANCHOR POINTS
You can fit ISOFIX child restraints using
the ISOFIX anchor points.
Your vehicle is fitted with ISOFIX anchor
points that accommodate universally
approved ISOFIX child restraints.
The ISOFIX system comprises of two rigid
attachment arms on the child restraint
that attach to anchor points on the rear
seats, where the cushion and backrest
meet.
A third anchor point has been provided
for child seats that are equipped with a
top tether, available for use in the forward
facing configuration.
The top tether anchors in your vehicle are
located on the floor of the luggage
compartment.
The tether strap should be routed
beneath the raised rear head restraint, to
the anchor point on the floor of the
luggage compartment. The anchor point
is identified by a pictogram.
After installing the child safety seat, tighten
the tether strap according to the
manufacturer's instructions. WARNING
Use an anti-rotation device when
using the ISOFIX system. We
recommend that you use a top
tether or a support leg. Attaching a child restraint with
a top tether
WARNING
Do not attach a tether strap to
anything other than the correct
tether anchor point.
Route the tether strap to the anchor point.
Tighten the tether strap to the
manufacturer's instructions.
WARNINGS
Make sure the top tether strap is not
slack or twisted and is properly
located on the anchor point.
Make sure that the seatback is
secure and fully engaged in the

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Airbags
WARNINGS
Do not modify the front of your
vehicle in any way. This could
adversely affect deployment of the
airbags. Original text according to ECE
R94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not use
a rearward facing child restraint on
a seat protected by an airbag in front of
it! Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use
the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a
position that allows the airbag to achieve
its optimum effect. See Sitting in the
correct position (page 90).Have repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
seat belts carried out by a properly
trained technician. Keep the areas in front of the
airbags free from obstruction. Do
not affix anything to or over the
airbag covers. Do not poke sharp objects into
areas where airbags are fitted. This
could damage and adversely affect
deployment of the airbags. Use seat covers designed for seats
with side airbags. Have these fitted
by a properly trained technician.
Note:You will hear a loud bang and see
a cloud of harmless powdery residue if an airbag deploys. This is normal.
Note:Only wipe airbag covers with a
damp cloth.
Driver and front passenger airbags The driver and front passenger airbags
will deploy during significant frontal
collisions or collisions that are up to 30
degrees from the left or the right. The
airbags will inflate within a few
thousandths of a second and deflate on
contact with the occupants, thus
cushioning forward body movement.
During minor frontal collisions, overturns,
rear collisions and side collisions, the driver
and front passenger airbags will not
deploy.
Side airbags
Side airbags are fitted inside the seatback
of the front seats. A label indicates that
side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.
22
Occupant protectionE74302 E72658

The side airbags will deploy during
significant lateral collisions. Only the airbag
on the side affected by the collision will
deploy. The airbags will inflate within a few
thousandths of a second and deflate on
contact with the occupants, thus
providing protection for the chest and
shoulder areas. During minor lateral
collisions, overturns, front collisions and
rear collisions, the side airbags will not
deploy.
Curtain airbags
Curtain airbags are fitted inside the trim
panels over the front and rear side
windows. Moulded badges in the B-pillar
trim panels indicate that curtain airbags
are fitted to your vehicle.
The curtain airbags will deploy during
significant lateral collisions. Only the airbag
on the side affected by the collision will
deploy. The airbag will inflate within a few
thousandths of a second and deflate on
contact with the occupants, thus
providing protection for the head. During
minor lateral collisions, front collisions, rear
collisions, or overturns the curtain airbags
will not deploy. Seat belts WARNINGS
Wear a seat belt and keep sufficient
distance between yourself and the
steering wheel. Only when you use
the seat belt properly, can it hold you in a
position to achieve its optimum effect.
See Sitting in the correct position
(page 90). Never use a seat belt for more than
one person.
Use the correct buckle for each seat
belt.
Do not use a seat belt that is slack
or twisted.
Do not wear thick clothing. The seat
belt must fit tightly around your body
to achieve its optimum effect.
Position the shoulder strap of the
seat belt over the centre of your
shoulder and position the lap strap
tightly across your hips. The driver and front passenger seat belt
buckles are fitted with a seat belt
pretensioner. Seat belt pretensioners
have a lower deployment threshold than
the airbags. During minor collisions, it is
possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will deploy.
Status after a collision
WARNING
Seat belts subjected to strain, as a
result of an accident, should be
renewed and the anchorages
checked by a properly trained technician. 23
