Child restraints
Child restraint systems
When a child restraint system is beingused, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructionsand also those supplied with the childrestraint system.
Always comply with local or nationalregulations. In some countries, theuse of child restraint systems isforbidden on certain seats.
Warning
When using a child restraintsystem on the front passenger seat, the airbag systems for thefront passenger seat must bedeactivated; if not, the triggering of the airbags poses a risk of fatalinjury to the child.
This is especially the case if rear-
facing child restraint systems areused on the front passenger seat.
Selecting the right system
The rear seats are the mostconvenient location to fasten a childrestraint system. Children shouldtravel facing rearwards in the vehicle
as long as possible. This makes surethat the child's backbone, which is stillvery weak, is under less strain in theevent of an accident.
Children under the age of 12 yearsthat are smaller than 150 cm are onlyallowed to travel in a restraint systemthat is suitable for the child. Suitableare restraint systems that comply withECE 44-03 or ECE 44-04. Sincea proper position of the belt is rarelypossible with a child that is smaller than 150 cm, we strongly advise touse an appropriate child restraintsystem, even though this might, dueto the age of the child, no longer belegally binding.
Never hold a child whilst travelling inthe vehicle. The child will become too
heavy to be held in the event of a collision.
When transporting children, use thechild restraint systems suitable for thechild's weight.
Ensure that the child restraint systemto be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.Ensure that the mounting location of the child restraint system within thevehicle is correct.
Only allow children to enter and exitthe vehicle at the side facing awayfrom the traffic.
When the child restraint system is notin use, secure the seat with a seat belt
or remove it from the vehicle.Note
Do not stick anything on the childrestraint systems and do not cover them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which hasbeen subjected to stress in anaccident must be replaced.

Always make sure that the load inthe vehicle is securely stowed.Otherwise objects can be thrownaround inside the vehicle andcause personal injury or damageto the load or car.
■ The payload is the differencebetween the permitted grossvehicle weight (see identificationplate 3 181) and the EC kerbweight.
To calculate the payload weight,
enter the data for your vehicle in theWeights table at the front of thismanual.
The EC kerb weight includesweights for the driver (68 kg),luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank90 % full).
Optional equipment andaccessories increase the kerbweight.

Multigrade oil is indicated by twofigures, e.g. S AE 5W-30. The firstfigure, followed by a W, indicates thelow temperature viscosity and thesecond figure the high temperature
viscosity.Select the appropriate viscosity gradedepending on the minimum ambienttemperature 3 183.
All of the recommended viscositygrades are suitable for high ambienttemperatures.
protection or seal against minor leakcan cause function problems. Liabilitfor consequences resulting from theuse of additional coolant additives wibe rejected.
Brake and clutch fluid
Only use high-performance brakefluid approved for the vehicle, consua workshop.
Over time, brake fluid absorbsmoisture which will reduce brakingeffectiveness. The brake fluid shouldtherefore be replaced at the specifieinterval.

180 Service and maintenance
Brake fluid should be stored ina sealed container to avoid water absorption.
Ensure brake fluid does not becomecontaminated.
