airbags.

Original text according to ECER94.01: Extreme Hazard! Do not usea rearward facing child restraint on

a seat protected by an airbag in front ofit!

Wear a seat belt and keep sufficientdistance between yourself and thesteering wheel. Only when you use

the seat belt properly, can it hold you in aposition that allows the airbag to achieveits optimum effect. See Sitting in thecorrect position (page 110).

trained technician.

Keep the areas in front of theairbags free from obstruction. Donot affix anything to or over the

airbag covers.

Do not poke sharp objects intoareas where airbags are fitted. Thiscould damage and adversely affect

deployment of the airbags.

Use seat covers designed for seatswith side airbags. Have these fittedby a properly trained technician.

Note: You will hear a loud bang and seea cloud of harmless powdery residue if anairbag deploys. This is normal.

Note: Only wipe airbag covers with adamp cloth.

Driverandfrontpassengerairbags

E74302

The driver and front passenger airbagswill deploy during significant frontalcollisions or collisions that are up to 30degrees from the left or the right. Theairbags will inflate within a fewthousandths of a second and deflate oncontact with the occupants, thuscushioning forward body movement.During minor frontal collisions, overturns,rear collisions and side collisions, the driverand front passenger airbags will notdeploy.

Driver knee airbag

CAUTION

Do not attempt to open the driverknee airbag cover.

The driver knee airbag will deploy duringfrontal collisions or collisions that are upto 30 degrees from the left or the right.The airbag will inflate within a fewthousandths of a second and deflate oncontact with the occupants, thusproviding a cushion between the driversknees and the steering column. Duringoverturns, rear collisions and sidecollisions, the knee airbag will not deploy.

24

Occupant protection

For item location: SeeQuickstart (page8).

PRINCIPLEOFOPERATION

Alarmsystem

Your vehicle may be equipped with oneof the following alarm systems:

Perimeter alarm. Perimeter alarm with interior sensors. Category one alarm with interior

sensors and battery back-up sounder. Category one alarm with interior

sensors, battery back-up sounder andtilt sensors.

Perimeter alarm

The perimeter alarm is a deterrent againstunauthorised access to your vehiclethrough the doors and the bonnet. It alsoprotects the audio unit.

Interior sensors

E71401

WARNING

The sensors in the interior lamp unitmust not be covered up. Do notactivate the alarm with full guard if

any persons, animals or other movingobjects are inside the vehicle.

The sensors act as a deterrent againstunauthorised intrusion by sensing anymovement within the vehicle.

Battery back-up sounder

The battery back-up sounder is an extraalarm system which will sound a sirenwhen the alarm is triggered. It is armeddirectly when you lock the vehicle. Thesounder has its own battery and willsound an alarm siren even if someonedisconnects the vehicle battery or thebattery back-up sounder itself.

Tilt sensors

The tilt sensors detect if someoneattempts to steal a wheel or tow thevehicle away by sensing changes in theinclination of the vehicle.

Note: When travelling on a ferry with thealarm armed, deactivate the tilt sensorsby selecting reduced guard. This willprevent the alarm from being triggeredby the movement.

Triggering the alarm

Once armed, the alarm is triggered in anyof the following ways:

If someone opens a door, the tailgateor the bonnet without a valid key orremote control.

If someone removes the audio ornavigation system.

If the ignition is turned to position I, IIor III without a valid key.

If the interior sensors detectmovement within the vehicle.

On vehicles with a battery back-upsounder, if someone disconnects thevehicle battery or the battery back-upsounder itself.

If the tilt sensors detect a change inthe inclination of the vehicle.

If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horn willsound for 30 seconds and the hazardwarning flasher will flash for five minutes.
