Safety
●
The side and hea d airb
ags are managed
through sensors located in the interior of the
front doors. To ensure the correct operation of
the side and curtain (head) airbags neither
the doors nor the door panels should be
modified in any way (e.g. fitting loudspeak-
ers). If the front door is damaged, the airbag
system may not work correctly. All work car-
ried out on the front door must be done in a
specialised workshop.
● In a side-on collision the side airbags will
not work if
the sensors do not correctly meas-
ure the pressure increase on the interior of
the doors, due to air escaping through the
areas with holes or openings in the door pan-
el.
● Never drive if the interior door panels have
been removed or if
the panels have not been
correctly fitted.
● Never drive the vehicle if the loudspeakers
in the door panels h
ave been removed, un-
less the holes left by the loudspeakers have
been closed properly.
● Always check that the openings are closed
or cover
ed if additional loudspeakers or other
equipment are fitted inside the door panels.
● Any work carried out to the doors should be
made in an authorised s
pecialised workshop.Curtain airbags*

The airbag is deployed at high speed in frac-
tions of a sec
ond.
● Do not obstruct the head-protection airbag
deployment ar
eas.
● Never secure objects over the curtain air-
bag cov
er or in its deployment area.
● Occupants of the front seats and rear side
seats mu
st never carry any other people, ani-
mals or objects in the deployment space be-
tween them and the airbags. Make sure that
all the vehicle occupants, including children,
observe this.
● The clothes hangers are intended only for
light articl
es of clothing. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
● Do not mount accessories on the doors.
● Use only sun blinds which have been ex-
press
ly approved for use in your vehicle.
● Do not turn the sun blinds towards the win-
dows if
there are objects, e.g. pens or garage
remote controls, secured to them. Deactivating airbags

If you fit a rear-facing child seat to the front
passenger seat, the front passenger front air-
bag must be de-activated.
When the front passenger airbag is deactiva-
ted, this means that only the front passenger
front airbag is deactivated. All the other air-
bags in the vehicle remain activated.
Activating the front passenger front airbag
– Switch the ignition off.
– Open the glove compartment on the front
passen
ger side.
– Insert the key into the slot of the switch for
deactivating the fr
ont passenger airbag
››› Fig. 85. About 3/4 of the key should en-
ter, as far as it will go.
– Then turn the key gently to the position.
Do not f
orce it if you feel resistance, and
make sure you have inserted the key fully.
– When the ignition is switched on, check
whether the control
lamp
on the dash panel does ››› Fig. 86 not
light up ››› .
WARNING
● It is the driv
er's responsibility to ensure
that the key-operated switch is set to the cor-
rect position. ●
You shoul d de
activate the front passenger
front airbag only if you have to use a rear-fac-
ing child seat in exceptional cases
››› page 72, Transporting children safely.
● Never install a child seat facing backwards
on the front pa
ssenger seat unless the front
passenger front airbag has been disabled.
Otherwise, there is a risk of death.
● As soon as the child seat is no longer nee-
ded on the front pa
ssenger seat, enable the
front passenger front airbag again.
● Only deactivate the front passenger front
airbag when the ignition is off
, otherwise a
fault may occur in the airbag system, which
could cause the airbag to not deploy properly
or not deploy at all in case of an accident.
● Never leave the key in the airbag disabling
switch a
s it could get damaged or enable or
disable the airbag during driving.
● When the passenger airbag is deactivated,
if the contro
l lamp is not
continuously lit up when the front passenger
airbag is disabled, there may be a fault in the
airbag system:
–Have the airbag system inspected imme-
diately by a specialised workshop.
– Do not use a child seat on the front pas-
senger seat! The front passenger front
airbag could be triggered in the event of
an accident, even if there is a fault in the
system and, as a result, a child could sus-
tain serious or fatal injuries.
– It is unpredictable whether the front pas-
senger airbag will deploy in the event of an accident. Warn all your passengers of
this.

cases:
● If the wheel rim has been damaged.
● In outside temperatures below -20 °C
(-4 °F).
● In the event of cuts or perforations in the
tyre gre
ater than 4 mm.
● If you have been driving with very low pres-
sure or a comp
letely flat tyre.
● If the sealant bottle has passed its use by
date. WARNING
Using the tyre mobility system can be dan-
gerou s, e
specially when filling the tyre at the
roadside. Please observe the following rules
to minimise the risk of injury:
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
Park it at
a safe distance from surrounding
traffic to fill the tyre.
● Ensure the ground on which you park is flat
and solid. ●
All p
assengers and particularly children
must keep a safe distance from the work area.
● Turn on the hazard warning lights to warn
other road u
sers.
● Use the tyre mobility system only if you are

Intr
oduction Due to the constant updating of vehicles,
fuse a
s
signments based on equipment and
the use of the same fuse for various electrical
components, it is not possible to provide an
up-to-date summary of the fuse positions for
the electrical components at the time this
manual was printed. For detailed information
about the fuse positions, please consult a
technical service.
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Likewise, an electrical
component can be protected by several
fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the
problem has been solved. If a newly inserted
fuse blows after a short time, you must have
the electrical system checked by a special-
ised workshop as soon as possible. WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system can
give serious el
ectrical shocks, causing burns
and even death!
● Never touch the electrical wiring of the igni-
tion system. ●
Take c ar
e not to cause short circuits in the
electrical system. WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or
bridgin g a curr ent
circuit without fuses can
cause a fire and serious injury.
● Never use a fuse with a higher value. Only
replac
e fuses with a fuse of the same amper-
age (same colour and markings) and size.
● Never repair a fuse.
● Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple
or similar
. CAUTION
● To prev ent
damage to the vehicle's electric
system, before replacing a fuse always turn
off the ignition, the lights and all electrical
elements and remove the key from the igni-
tion.
● If you replace a fuse with higher-rating
fuse, y
ou could cause damage to another part
of the electrical system.
● Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-
vent the entry
of dust or humidity as they can
damage the electrical system.
● Always carefully remove the fuse box cov-
ers and refit
them correctly to avoid problems
with your vehicle. Note
● One component m a
y have more than one
fuse.
● Several components may run on a single
fuse.
● In the v
ehicle, there are more fuses than
those indicated in thi
s chapter. These should
only be changed by a specialised workshop.
● Positions not containing a fuse do not ap-
pear in the fol
lowing tables.
