Second Row Center Seat Belt Operating
Instructions
The second row center seat belt may feature
a seat belt with a mini-latch plate and
buckle. The mini-latch plate and buckle, if
equipped, should remain connected at all
times. If the mini-latch plate and buckle
become disconnected, they must be properly
reconnected prior to the rear center seat belt
being used by an occupant.1. Grasp the mini-latch plate and pull the
seat belt over the seat.2. When the seat belt is long enough to fit,
insert the mini-latch plate into the mini-
buckle until you hear a “click.”
3. Sit back in seat. Slide the regular latch
plate up the webbing as far as necessary
to allow the seat belt to go around your
lap.

Seat Belts For Older Children
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat
belts instead of using child restraints.
Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether
the seat belt properly fits the child or if they
should still use a Group 2 or Group 3 child
restraint to improve the fit of the seat belt:
1. Can the child sit all the way back against
the back of the vehicle seat?
2. Do the child’s knees bend comfortably
over the front of the vehicle seat – while
the child is still sitting all the way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s
shoulder between the neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as
possible, touching the child’s thighs and
not the stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for the
whole trip?If the answer to any of these questions was
“no,” then the child still needs to use a Group
2 or 3 child restraint in this vehicle. If the
child is using the lap/shoulder belt, check
belt fit periodically and make sure the seat
belt buckle is latched. A child’s squirming or
slouching can move the belt out of position.
If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck,
move the child closer to the center of the
vehicle, or use a booster seat to position the
seat belt on the child correctly.
WARNING!
Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt
under an arm or behind their back. In a
crash, the shoulder belt will not protect a
child properly, which may result in serious
injury or death. A child must always wear
both the lap and shoulder portions of the
seat belt correctly.
ISOFIX Restraint System
Your vehicle is equipped with the child re-
straint anchorage system called ISOFIX. This
system allows ISOFIX-equipped child seats
to be installed without using the vehicle’s
seat belts. The ISOFIX system has two lower
anchorages located at the back of the seat
cushion where it meets the seatback and a
top tether anchorage located behind the seat-
ing position.

two posts. If not possible, lower the head
restraint and pass the tether strap around
the outboard side of the head restraint.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child
restraint to the top tether anchorage as
shown in the diagram.
4. Remove slack in the tether strap accord-
ing to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.WARNING!
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap
could lead to increased head motion
and possible injury to the child. Use
only the anchorage position directly be-
hind the child seat to secure a child
restraint top tether strap.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a split
rear seat, make sure the tether strap
does not slip into the opening between
the seatbacks as you remove slack in
the strap.
WARNING!
The child restraint owner’s manual pro-
vides instructions for installing the child
restraint using the seat belt. Read and
follow these instructions to install the
child seat properly.
Suitability of Passenger Seats for i-Size
Child Restraint System Use
The rear outboard seats of the vehicle are
type-approved to house the state-of-the-art
i-Size child restraint systems.
These child restraint systems, built and type-
approved according to the i-Size (ECE R129)
standard, ensure better safety conditions to
carry children on board a vehicle:
• The child must be transported rearward
facing until 15 months;
• Child restraint system protection is in-
creased in the event of a side collision;
• The use of the ISOFIX system is promoted
to avoid faulty installation of the child re-
straint system;
• Efficiency in the choice of the child re-
straint system, which isn't made according
to weight anymore but according to the
child's height, is increased;

• The use of non-conforming or degraded
AdBlue (UREA) may lead to indications
appearing on the instrument panel display
refer to “Warning Lights And Messages" in
the “Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
• Never pour AdBlue (UREA) into another
container: it could be contaminated.
• If the AdBlue (UREA) runs out, see refer to
“Warning Lights And Messages" in the
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel”
for further information to continue using
the car normally.
TRAILER TOWING
Common Towing Definitions
The following trailer towing related defini-
tions will assist you in understanding the
following information:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The GVWR is the total allowable weight of
your vehicle. This includes driver, passen-
gers, cargo and tongue weight.
The total load must be limited so that you do
not exceed the GVWR. Refer to “Vehicle
Loading/Vehicle Certification Label” in “Start-
ing And Operating” for further information.
Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)
The GTW is the weight of the trailer plus the
weight of all cargo, consumables and equip-
ment (permanent or temporary) loaded in or
on the trailer in its "loaded and ready for
operation" condition.
The recommended way to measure GTW is to
put your fully loaded trailer on a vehicle
scale. The entire weight of the trailer must be
supported by the scale.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the
front and rear axles. Distribute the load over
the front and rear axles evenly. Make sure
that you do not exceed either front or rear
GAWR. Refer to “Vehicle Loading/Vehicle
Certification Label” in “Starting And Operat-
ing” for further information.
WARNING!
It is important that you do not exceed the
maximum front or rear GAWR. A dangerous
driving condition can result if either rating
is exceeded. You could lose control of the
vehicle and have a collision.
Tongue Weight (TW)
The tongue weight is the downward force
exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer. You
must consider this as part of the load on your
vehicle.
Trailer Frontal Area
The frontal area is the maximum height mul-
tiplied by the maximum width of the front of
a trailer.
