ISOFIX ANCHORING
POINTS AND THE ISOFIX
FASTENING SYSTEM

Your  vehicle  is  type-approved
according  to  new   ISOFIX  direc-
tives.  The  lateral  rear  seats  of
your  vehicle  are  each  equipped
with  regulation   ISOFIX  anchoring
points.
Incorrect installation of a child seat
in  a  vehicle  compromises  protec-
tion of the child in the event of a col-
lision. The  ISOFIX system enables
you to minimise the risks posed by

incorrect ﬁ tting. The ISOFIX fas-

tening system gives you a conven-

ient, strong and reliable ﬁ tting for a

child seat in your vehicle.

Benchseat

The ISOFIX fastening
system

The ISOFIX system features 3 rings
for each lateral rear seat position:

Two bottom rings a and b
located between the backrest
and the seat cushion. These
are about 28 cm apart,
concealed in the case of a

benchseat under a ﬂ ap with the

logo ISOFIX.
One top ring c

ﬁ xed on the rear

shelf, concealed

under a ﬂ ap

with the logo TOP TETHER
behind the head restraint.

•

The ISOFIX child seat
fastening system

ISOFIX  child  seats  have  two
latches  which  are  easy  to  secure
on the two bottom rings a and b.
Some  ISOFIX child seats also have
a top belt which is for attaching on
the  ISOFIX top ring c.
To  attach  the  top  belt,  raise  the
head  restraint  of  the  vehicle  seat,
then  pass  the  buckle  between  the

two supports. Next ﬁ x the buckle

on the top ring c and tension the
top belt.
This ﬁ xing system is intended for

children weighing up to 18 kg.
The ISOFIX child seats rhat can be

Glass sun roof

The sun roof is operated by the
electrical control A.
An action to the ﬁ rst notch of the

control  starts  a  movement  which
stops  as  soon  as  you  release  the
control.
An  action  to  the  second  notch  of
the control opens or closes the sun
roof fully. A further action stops the
movement.

ANTI-PINCH

An  anti-pinch  device  is  present  to  stop  the  sun  roof  from  sliding  shut.  If  it
meets an obstacle it slides in the opposite direction.
After  a  battery  disconnection  or  if  there  has  been  a  malfunction,  you
have to re-initialise the anti-pinch function.
To  do  that,  action  the  control A  to  the  second  notch  to  make  the  sun  roof
open fully, then keep the control A pressed for at least 1 seconds.
Warning: During this manœuvre, the anti-pinch does not operate.

Your vehicle's sun roof has a manually-
operated blind.

Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even
if for a short time.
In the event of anything being caught by the sun roof closing,
you must reverse the roof movement.

To do that, reverse the position of the control concerned.
When  the  driver  is  operating  the  sun  roof,  he  or  she  must  always
make  sure  that  the  passengers  are  not  preventing  it  from  closing
properly.
The  driver  must  ensure  that  passengers  use  the  sun  roof  control
correctly.
PAY  ESPECIAL  ATTENTION  TO  WHERE  CHILDREN  ARE  WHEN
OPERATING THE SUN ROOF.
