Do not drive holding the steering
wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.

Make sure that the seat belt is
correctly positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in firm and steady

Child seats
The regulations on carrying children
are specific to each country. Refer to
the legislation in force in your country.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harness keeping the slack relative
to the child's body to a minimum, even for
short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it
secures the child seat firmly on the vehicle
seat.
Remove the head restraint before installing
a child seat with a backrest on a passenger
seat.

airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a

injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag
is deployed.
