The shoulder part of the seat belt should be

well centred over it, never over the neck. The

seat belt lies flat and fits comfortably on the

upper part of the body.

The lap part of the seat belt lies across the

pelvis, never across the stomach. The seat

Airbags

The front airbag for the driver is located in

the s

teering wheel ››› Fig. 17 and the airbag

for the front passenger is located in the dash

panel ››› Fig. 18. Airbags are identified by the

word “AIRBAG”.

When the driver and front passenger airbags

are deployed, the covers remain attached to

the steering wheel and dashboard, respec-

tively ››› Fig. 17 ››› Fig. 18.

In conjunction with the seat belts, the front

airbag system gives the driver and the front

passenger additional protection for the head

and chest in the event of a severe frontal col-

li

sion.

The special design of the airbag allows the

controlled escape of the propellant gas when

an occupant puts pressure on the bag. Thus,

the head and chest are surrounded and pro-

tected by the airbag. After the collision, the

airbag deflates sufficiently to allow visibility.

To deactivate the front passenger front air-

●

Open the door on the front passenger side.

●

Insert the key blade into the slot provided

in the deactivation switch.

●

Approximately ¾ of the length of the key

blade remains inserted (the maximum).

●

Turn the key blade, changing its position to

sure that you have inserted the key as far as

it will go.

Side airbags*

Fig. 21 Illustration of completely inflated side

airb

ag on left side of vehicle.

The side airbags are located in the driver's

se

at and front passenger seat backrests

››› Fig. 20. The locations are identified by the

text “AIRBAG” in the upper region of the

backrests.

In conjunction with the seat belts, the side

airbag system provides additional protection

for the upper body in the event of a severe

side collision.

In a side collision, the side airbags reduce

the risk of injury to passengers to the areas

of the body facing the impact. In addition to

their normal function of protecting the occu-

pants in a collision, the front and rear outer

seat belts also hold the passengers in the

event of a side collision; this is how these air-

bags provide maximum protection.

Head-protection airbags*

There is a head airbag on each side of the in-

erior above the doors ››› Fig. 22. Airbags are

identified by the word “AIRBAG”.

The area framed in red is covered by the

head-protection airbag when it is deployed

››› Fig. 22 (deployment area). Therefore, ob-

jects should never be placed or mounted in

this area ›››

in Curtain airbags* on

age 76.

In the event of a side collision the curtain air-

bag is triggered on the impact side of the ve-

hicle.

The head-protection airbags reduce the risk

of injury to passengers in the front and rear

side seats facing the impact.

shows the child restraint

sy

stem mounting using the vehicle seat belt.

The seat belt may be used to secure univer-

sal type child seats to the vehicle seats

marked with a U in the table below.

●

In the passenger seat without height ad-

justment: It is necessary to place the passen-

ger seat in its rearmost position

1)

.

●

In the passenger seat with height adjust-

ment: It is necessary to place the passenger

seat in its rearmost and highest position

1)

.

To correctly use a child seat in the back, the

front backrest must be adjusted so that there

is no contact with the child seat in the back

in the case that it goes opposite to the direc-

tion of the car. In the case of front facing re-

straint systems, the front backrest must be

adjusted so that there is no contact with the

child's feet.

To adjust the passenger seat to accommo-

date a child's seat and get the seat belt in a

perfect position, adjust the passenger back-

rest as far forward as possible

1)

.

If a semi-universal type chair is to be instal-

led, in which the method of attachment to

the car is through the seat belt and support

bracket, it should never be installed in the

central rear seat as the ground clearance is

lower than in other places and the support

bracket will not allow the seat to remain suffi-

ciently stable.

1)

Compliance with current national legislation and

the m

anufacturer's instructions is required when us-

ing or installing child seats.

Retaining the child seat with the ISOFIX/iSize system and Top Tether*

Fig. 26 ISOFIX/iSize securing rings.

Fig. 27 Position of the Top Tether rings on the

b

ack of the rear seat.

Child seats can be secured quickly, easily

and s

afely on the rear outer seats with the

“ISOFIX” and Top Tether* system.

Two “ISOFIX” retaining rings are fitted on

each rear seat. In some vehicles, the rings

are secured to the seat frame and, in others,

they are secured to the rear floor. The “ISO-

FIX” rings are located between the rear seat

backrest and the seat cushioning ››› Fig. 26.

The Top Tether* rings are located on the rear

part of the backrests of the rear seats (be-

hind the seat backrest or in the boot)

››› Fig. 27.

To understand the compatibility of the "ISO-

FIX" systems in the vehicle, consult the table

below.
