CHILDREN PROTECTION

 Advice on child seats

Incorrect installation of the child seat in 

the vehicle compromises protection of 

the child in the event of an accident.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or 

child seat harnesses keeping the slack in 

relation to the child’s body in a minimum 

even for short journeys.

For optimum installation of the “forward-

facing” child seat, ensure the back of the 

child seat is in contact with the back of the 

vehicle’s seat and that the head restraint 

does not causes any discomfort. 

If the head restraint has to be removed, 

ensure that it is stored or attached securely 

to prevent it from being thrown around the 

vehicle in the event of sharp braking. 

Children under the age of 10 must not 

travel on the front passenger seat. Only if 

the rear seat is occupied by other children 

or the seat is unusable and/or removed, 

child may travel on the front passenger 

seat. Disarm the passenger air bag when 

the child seat is “rearward-facing” position. 

Otherwise there is the risk of severe 

injuries or even death of the child in the 

event of the air bag inflation. 

Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must be 

positioned on the child’s shoulder without 

touching the neck.

Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt 

passes correctly over the child’s thighs.

Iran Khodro recommends the use of 

a 

child booster seat belt which has 

a  back,  fitted  with  a  seat  belt  guide  at 

shoulder level.

As a safety precaution, do not leave:

- One or more children alone and 

unsupervised in a vehicle.

- A child or an animal in a vehicle which is 

exposed to the sun, with the windows closed.

- The keys within reach of children inside 

the vehicle.

To prevent accidental opening of the doors, 

use the “Children safety locking system.”.

Take care not to open the rear windows 

by more than one third.

To protect young children from rays of the 

sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

Warning

Front air bags are triggered only in case of a serious impact from front of the vehicle when 

there is the risk of head and chest injuries. they are not for reaction in case of the minor, rear 

and side impacts and certain roll-over of the vehicles. 

AIR BAGS

Air bags

System is designed to maximize the safety 

of the front occupants in the event of 

violent collisions. It supplements the action 

of the force-limiting seat belts.

If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors 

record and analysis the front impacts 

sustained in the impact detection zones:

In the case of a serious impact, the air bags 

are triggered instantly and protect the front 

occupants of the vehicle; immediately after 

the impact, the air bags deflate rapidly so 

that they do not hinder visibility or exit of 

the occupants. In case of a minor impact, 

the air bags will not be triggered; the seat 

belt alone is sufficient to provide optimum 

protection in these situations.

Seriousness of the impact depends on 

the type of obstacle and speed of the 

vehicle at impact time. 

The air bags do not operate when the 

ignition is switched off.

Note: triggering of the air bag is accompanied 

by a slight emission of harmless smoke 

which may cause slight irritation.

Front air bags

The air bag is fitted in front of the steering 

wheel, and front passenger air  bag is 

located in front of the instrument panel. 

These two air bags are usually triggered 

together, except when the front passenger 

air  bag is deactivated.

Air bag malfunction

 If this indicator comes on and stays 

on, refer to one of the Iran Khodro 

authorized dealers.

When a rearward-facing child seat is 

installed on the front passenger seat, it 

is essential that the passenger air bag 

to be disarmed. Otherwise the child 

would risk being seriously injured or 

killed if the air bag were to inflate. 

- Switch off the vehicle, insert key in the 

special switch to disarm the passenger air 

bag (1) and turn it to the “OFF” position, 

then take the key out in the same position. 

Deactivation warning light of front 

passenger air bag:

 This light stays on as long as the 

front passenger air bag is disarmed.

Warning

Should the air bag warning indicator 

light remain on extendedly, you should 

not place child seat in the “rearward-

facing” position. Refer to an authorized 

dealer as soon as possible.

Warning

In order to have full effectiveness of the air bags, observe the following safety 

rules:

- Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt

- Sit in a normal upright position.                                         

- Do not leave anything between the occupants and the air bags (a child, pet, object). 

This could hamper the operation of the air bags or injure the occupants.

- Function of the air bag has been programmed very precisely; in case of any fault 

refer only to the Iran Khodro authorized dealer.

- After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the air bag 

systems checked.

- When driving, never put your hands on the steering wheel paddle or its central part.

VENTILATION

Ventilation 

1) Wind screen heating and de-misting vents

2) Front windows heating and de-misting 

vents

3) Side vents

4) Central vents

5) Air outlet (heating) under front passenger 

foot

Applied recommendations and reminders

Adjust  air  flow  control  switch  to  ensure 

enough and suitable fresh air circulation 

in the vehicle.

If you leave the switch in the OFF position 

(inactivation of the system), passengers 

convenience in regard to the air 

temperature could not be assured.

Adjust the temperature as per requirements 

and climate.

Adjust the temperature to the optimum 

temperature.

Leave the air inlet control at “exterior air” 

position to have better demisting function.     

Vehicle interior temperature is very high 

after a long stop under the sun, so have 

the vehicle air ventilated for a while.

To ensure proper and complete distribution 

of the air, avoid closing the exterior inlet 

vents, air vents, and air outlet under 

passengers’ foot.

If you switch off ventilation in some hard 

usage of vehicle (loading max. cargo at 

steep and high temperature), the engine 

function is recovered. So its towing power 

is improved. Ensure the ventilation filter of 

the vehicle cab works properly. This filer is 

located at windscreen and under the engine 

compartment  cover.  Replace  filter  parts 

regularly. In case climate is unfavorable, it 

is better to replace them even at scheduled 

maintenance intervals.  Air ventilation has 

no chlorine and so it is safe for Ozone layer.  

Operate the air conditioning system once or 

twice a month, to keep it in perfect working 

order.

The water formed by the air conditioning 

condensation is discharged via an opening 

provided for this purpose. Therefore, a 

puddle of water may form underneath the 

vehicle when stationary. 

If the system does not produce cold air, 

do not use it and contact an Iran Khodro 

dealer.

VENTILATION

Rear screen heating

Heater of the rear screen and exterior 

mirrors are activated by pushing this 

switch, while engine is ignited on.

In order to avoid over consumption of the 

power, the heater is switched off after 12 

minutes automatically. 

You  can  inactivate  the  heater    by  re-

pressing the switch before it is switched 

OFF automatically. 

Switch heater off as soon as the rear 

screen is demisted, as low consumption 

of the power causes reduction of the 

vehicle fuel consumption.

Manual demisting

For rapid demisting of the wind screen 

and side windows:

-Activate the ventilation system

-Set the heat control switch and air flow 

control switch at maximum.

-Close the central vents.

-Have the exterior air inlet control at the 

left side i.e. at position “exterior air”

VENTILATION

Cuation

- It is recommended to inspect and 

service the air condition system 

regularly to ensure its proper function.

- Let the manual control 4 to be at left, 

“exterior air recirculation” position as 

far as possible. This prevents decline 

of the good quality of air.

Warning

Do  not  open  the  cooling  fluid  circuit. 

This fluid is dangerous for eye and skin.

Air condition

The air conditioning system can only 

operate when the engine is running.

1-Air condition ON/OFF switch

This system functions in all seasons 

when the windows are closed. It caused 

reduction of temperature during summer 

and increase demisting power in above 

zero degree temperature at winter.

Press the A/C of this button. The indicator 

light is activated.

Air condition does not operate when the 

air flow control switch is at position “Off”.

2-Temperature adjustment

Turn the dial from blue (cold) to red (hot) 

to adjust the temperature to suit your 

requirements.

3-Air distribution adjustment

Windscreen and side windows demisting 

and deicing Windscreen, side windows 

and foot wells.

Passengers’ foot wells

These settings are recommended for 

cold climate.

Central and side vents

This setting is recommended for hot climate.

To adjust the air distribution evenly in all 

directions, you can leave its switch on “-“ sign. 

4-Air flow adjustment

Turn the dial from position 1 toward 

position 4 to achieve your desired air flow.

5-Air inlet / Air recirculation

Exterior air in take

Interior air flow

Recirculation of the interior air prevents 

exterior smoke and odors from entering 

the passenger compartment. 

The inlet of the exterior air prevents the 

formation of mist on the windscreen and 

side windows.

If you apply air recirculation together with 

air ventilation, the heating and cooling 

functions improves. 

In humid climate, air recirculation may 

form mist on the windows. Turn the 

manual control 5 to right to select  “interior 

air flow” position. turn the manual control 

5 to left as far as possible to “exterior air 

flow”  position.  This  prevents  decline  of 

the air quality in the cab.
