adults and larger children. For their safety, it is

Child Restraints
Seat belt locking mechanism
All front passenger and second row seat belts
have a special locking mechanism which aids
the retention of child seats. The procedure to
install a child seat is as follows:
1. Install the child seat in the vehicle, attach
the seat belt and secure the buckle in
accordance with the manufacturers fitting
instructions.
2. Pull on the shoulder section of the belt to
unreel all of the remaining webbing to the
limit of its travel. This will engage the
automatic locking feature, which then acts
as a ratchet, allowing the webbing to
retract ONLY.
3. Allow the seat belt to retract onto the child
seat (a ‘clicking’ sound will confirm that
the ratchet has engaged), firmly pushing
the child seat into the seat.
4. Ensure there is no slack in the seat belt by
pulling upwards on the shoulder belt
immediately above the child restraint. The
seat belt should now be locked and the
child seat held firmly in position.
Once the child seat is removed and all the seat
belt webbing is allowed to retract, the seat belt
locking mechanism reverts to normal
operation.
NOTE: The automatic locking mechanism
should also be used when securing large items
of luggage to a seat.

Child Restraints
Fitting ISOFIX child restraints
ISOFIX child restraints should only be fitted in
the two outer seating positions of the second
row seats. Anchor bars built into the rear seat
frame enable the ISOFIX restraints to be
securely attached to the vehicle seat in these
positions only. The anchor bar locations are
shown in the illustration above.
When fitting ISOFIX child restraints, always
follow the instructions supplied by the
manufacturer of the restraint.
Once the ISOFIX restraint is installed, you are
recommended to test the security of the
installation before seating the child. Attempt to
twist the restraint from side to side and to pull
the restraint away from the vehicle seat; then
check that the anchors are still securely in
place.
WARNING
If the restraint is not correctly anchored, there
is a significant risk of injury to the child in the
event of a collision or emergency braking.

Airbag SRS warning light
A warning light mounted on the instrument

airbag SRS. The airbag SRS should always be
checked by a dealer if any of the following
symptoms occur:
• The warning light fails to illuminate when
the starter switch is turned to position ‘II’.
• The warning light fails to extinguish within
approximately four seconds after the starter
switch is turned to position ‘II’.

by a loud noise. The inflated bag, together with
the seat belt restraint system, limit the
movement of a front seat occupant, thereby
reducing the risk of injury to the head and upper
torso.
WARNING
An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions
and other injuries. Minimise the risk of injury
by ensuring that front seat occupants are
wearing their seat belts and are seated
correctly, with the seat as far back as is
practical.
When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is

released. This is not an indication of a
malfunction, however, the powder may cause
irritation to the skin and should be thoroughly
flushed from the eyes and any cuts or abrasions
of the skin. After inflation the airbags deflate
immediately. This provides a gradual
cushioning effect for the occupant and also
ensures that the driver's forward vision is not
impaired.
NOTE: After inflation, some airbag components
are hot - DO NOT touch until they have cooled.

Compass
To set the compass:
1. Identify the appropriate zone for your
location (see maps on the following
pages).
2. Turn the starter switch to position ‘II’.
3. Using a ballpoint pen or similar probe,
press and hold the button on the
underside of the mirror until a zone
number appears in the display. This will
take approximately 3 seconds (note that
the compass automatically defaults to
zone 8).
4. Release the button, then continue
pressing and releasing the button
alternately, until the required zone number
appears in the display.
5. Once the set zone has been selected, the
display reappears (after approximately 10
seconds) and the compass is correctly set
for the required zone.
