instrument pack will illuminate
to alert you that the driver’s

and/or front passenger’s seat belt is
unbuckled. Dependent upon specification
this may be accompanied by an
intermittent chime.

Child Seats

It is important to remember that your
child’s weight, rather than age,
determines the type of seat that is
required.

Refer to Child Safety to determine the
correct seat for your child, see page 82.

Automatic Locking Reels (ALR)

All passenger seat belts have ALR fitted
for use with child seats.
• To engage: extend the belt to

mechanism.

Sunroof

The sunroof is fitted with a facility that
allows it to be fully opened or closed with
a single operation of switch 3.

With ALR enabled, as the seat belt
retracts, it will automatically lock
preventing re-extension.
Ensure passengers do not fully extend
the restraints and inadvertently engage
this feature during normal use.

Parking assist care points
Sensors may activate on detection of
water, snow or ice on their surface.
This is entirely normal and regular
cleaning will aid performance.
Parking assist may sound if it detects a
signal operating at the same frequency
to that of the sensors (e.g.
motorcycles, airbrakes).
