							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 64). Have repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column, seats, airbags and
seat belts carried out by properly
trained technicians. 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 properly trained technicians.
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.
The restraint system comprises:
• a driver airbag
• a front passenger airbag •
side airbags
• curtain airbags
• a driver seat belt pretensioner
• a front passenger seat belt
pretensioner
• crash sensors
• an airbag warning lamp
• a seat belt reminder
• an electronic control and diagnostic
unit.
You can also have your vehicle fitted with:
• an airbag deactivation switch
• an airbag deactivation warning lamp.
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.

Occupant protectionE74302      
						

							Side airbags
Side airbags are fitted inside the seatback
of the front seats. A label indicates that
side airbags are fitted to your vehicle.
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
64). 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
retractors 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. FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS
WARNING
Insert the tongue into the buckle until
you hear a distinct click. You have
not fastened the seat belt properly
if you do not hear a click. Pull the belt out steadily. It may lock if you
pull it sharply or if the vehicle is on a slope.
Press the red button on the buckle to
release the belt. Let it retract completely
and smoothly.

ADJUSTMENT
Note:
Lifting the slider slightly while
pressing the locking button makes it easier
to release the locking mechanism.
To raise or lower, press the locking button
on the adjuster and move as necessary.

							USING SEAT BELTS DURING
PREGNANCY
WARNING
Position the seat belt correctly for
your safety and that of your unborn
child. Do not use only the lap strap
or the shoulder strap. Position the lap strap comfortably across
your hips and low beneath your pregnant
abdomen. Position the shoulder strap
between your breasts, above and to the
side of your pregnant abdomen.
DISABLING THE PASSENGER
AIRBAG
WARNING
Make sure that the passenger airbag
is disabled when using a rearward
facing child restraint on the front
passenger seat. Fitting the passenger airbag
deactivation switch
WARNING
If you need to fit a child restraint on
a seat protected by an operational
airbag in front of it, have a passenger
airbag deactivation switch fitted. Ask your
dealer for further information. Note:
The key switch is located in the glove
compartment with an airbag deactivation
lamp in the instrument panel.
If the airbag warning lamp illuminates or
flashes when you are driving, this indicates
a malfunction.  See Warning Lamps and
Indicators (page 50).  Remove the child
restraint and have the system checked
immediately.

							GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES
CAUTIONS
The radio frequency used by your
remote control can also be used by
other short distance radio
transmissions (e.g. amateur radios,
medical equipment, wireless headphones,
remote controls and alarm systems). If the
frequencies are jammed, you will not be
able to use your remote control. You can
lock and unlock the doors with the key. Check your vehicle is locked before
leaving it unattended. This will
safeguard against any potential
malicious frequency blocking. Note:
You could unlock the doors if you
press the buttons on the remote control
unintentionally.
The operating range between your remote
control and your vehicle varies depending
on the environment.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
CONTROL
A maximum of four remote controls
(including the ones supplied with the
vehicle) can be programmed. To programme a new remote control:
•
Turn the ignition key to position II four
times within six seconds.
• Switch off the ignition. A tone sounds
to indicate that it is now possible to
programme a new remote control.
• Press any button on a new remote
control. A tone will sound as
confirmation. Repeat this last step for
all of your remote controls, including
the original.
• Switch the ignition back on or wait for
ten seconds without programming
another remote control to end remote
control programming. Only the remote
controls which you have just
programmed are now able to lock and
unlock your vehicle.
Re-programming the unlocking
function
You can change the unlocking function so
that pressing the unlock button once
deactivates the central locking or double
locking, disarms the anti-theft alarm
system and unlocks the driver ’s door.
Pressing the unlock button twice within
