Side Airbags
These airbags may be fitted to individ-
ual seats and are deployed at the sides
of the seats (door side) to protect the
occupants in the event of a severe side
impact.
Curtain Airbags
These are airbags fitted to each upper
side of the vehicle. They deploy along
the front door side windows to protect
occupants in the event of a severe side
impact.
SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Warning relating to the side airbag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an airbag require covers spe-
cifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to find \
out
if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those de-
signed for your vehicle (and including those designed for another vehic\
le) may
affect the operation of the airbags and reduce your protection.
– Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback,\
the door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items\
such as
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly
or cause injury when the airbag is deployed.
– No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or int\
ernal fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved Dealer.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use an approved child seat and ensure
you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph
(50 km/h) is the same as fall-
ing a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without
a restraint is the equivalent of allow-
ing him or her to play on a fourth-
floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, replace the child
seat and have the seat belts and
ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
To prevent the doors being
opened, use the “Child
safety” device (refer to the
information on “Opening
and closing the doors” in Section 1).
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or by locking the
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.

Rear centre seat
Check that the belt is suitable for secu-
ring your child seat. Consult an appro-
ved dealer.
Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.
In the rear side seat
A carrycot can be installed across the
vehicle and will take up at least two
seats.
Position the child with their feet nearest
the door.
Move the front seat as far forward as
possible to install a rear-facing child
seat, then move back the seat in front
as far as it will go, although without al-
lowing it to come into contact with the
child seat.
For the safety of the child in the for-
ward-facing seat, do not move the seat
in front back past the middle of the
runner, do not tilt the seatback too far
(maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as
much as possible.
In all situations, remove the rear head-
rests (refer to the information on the
“Rear headrests” in Section 3). This
must be done before fitting the child
seat.
Check that the forward-facing child seat
is resting against the back of the vehi-
cle seat.
