Seats, restraints63Either a Top-tether strap or a support
leg must be used in addition to the
ISOFIX brackets.
i-Size child seats and vehicle seats
with i-Size approval are marked with i-Size symbol, see illustration.
Top-tether anchors
Top-tether anchors are marked with
the symbol : for a child seat.
In addition to the ISOFIX brackets,
fasten the Top-tether strap to the
Top-tether anchors.
ISOFIX child restraint systems of
universal category positions are
marked in the table by IUF 3 65.
Selecting the right system The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident.
Suitable are child restraint systems
that comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child
restraint systems.The following child restraints are recommended for the following
weight classes:
● Group 0, Group 0+ :
Maxi Cosi Cabriofix with or
without ISOFIX base for children
up to 13 kg
● Group I : Duo Plus with ISOFIX
and Top-tether for children from
9 kg to 18 kg
● Group II, Group III : Kidfix XP with
or without ISOFIX for children
from 15 kg to 36 kg
● Group III : Graco Booster for
children from 22 kg to 36 kg
Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.
Allow children to enter and exit the vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat beltor remove it from the vehicle.

Open all doors.
Mounting points are located in each
door frame of the vehicle body.
Detach the cover from each mounting
point and fasten the roof rack with the attached screws.
Loading information
● Heavy objects in the load compartment should be placed
against the seat backrests. Make
sure that the backrests are
securely engaged. If objects can
be stacked, heavier objects
should be placed at the bottom.
● Prevent sliding of loose objects by securing them with straps
attached to the lashing eyes
3 74.
● Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.
● Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or theinstrument panel, and do notcover the sensor on top of the
instrument panel.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or
hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment.9Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or car.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 257) and the EC kerb
weight.
78StorageTo calculate the payload, enter
the data for your vehicle in the
weights table at the front of this
manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel
tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
● Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and
secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than
120 km/h.
The permissible roof load is
85 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack and the load.
158Driving and operatingThe LED in the button a extinguishes
when ESC and traction control
system are reactivated.
ESC and traction control system are
also reactivated the next time the
ignition is switched on.
Fault
If there is a fault in the system, the
control indicator b illuminates
continuously and a message appears
in the Driver Information Centre. The
system is not operational.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Selective ride controlCaution
The vehicle is designed to drive
principally on-road, but it also
enables driving off-road
occasionally.
However, do not drive on terrain
where the vehicle could be
damaged due to obstacles, such
as stones among others and on
terrain with steep inclines and
poor grip.
Do not cross waters.Caution
When driving off-road, sudden
motion and manoeuvres can
cause a collision or losing control.
Selective ride control is designed to
optimise traction in low-grip
conditions (snow, mud and sand).
It adapts to the terrain by acting on the
front wheels, in doing so this saves
the weight normally associated with a more conventional four wheel drive
system.Selective ride control allows to
choose between five driving modes:
● ESC off mode 9
● standard mode 2
● snow mode 3
● mud mode 4
● sand mode 1
The several modes can be activated
by turning the control.
A LED illuminates and a status
message appears in the Driver
Information Centre to confirm the
chosen mode.
196Driving and operatingCharging at domestic electrical
outlets
Start charging9 Warning
Only use a domestic electrical
outlet which is properly grounded and protected by a 30 mA
differential switch.
Only use a domestic electrical
outlet protected by a circuit
breaker adapted to the amperage
of the electrical circuit.
Have a qualified electrician check
the electrical installation to be
used. The installation has to be in
compliance with national
standards and compatible with the vehicle.
When using a dedicated domestic electrical outlet, have it installed
by a qualified electrician.
Make sure that the electrical
outlet, the plug and the cable do
not support the weight of the
control box.
9 Warning
Do not carry out any works in the
engine compartment during
charging.
The vehicle can be charged at
domestic electrical outlets. Charging
an empty high voltage battery at a
domestic electrical outlet takes
approx. 7 hours.
A portable charge cord used to charge the vehicle high voltage
battery is stored under the rear floor
storage cover in the load
compartment.
1. Shift into P and switch off the
vehicle.
2. Push the rearward edge of the charge port door in and release to
open the door.
