BOOSTER CUSHIONS

In a situation where a child is too large to
fit into a child safety seat, but is still too
small to safely fit the three point belt
properly, a booster seat is recommended
for maximum safety. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for fitting and
use, then adjust the seat belt to rest on
the child's shoulder, not the neck.

LATCH ANCHOR POINTS

(Latch Anchorages and Tethers for CHild
restraints)

The rear seats of your vehicle are fitted
with LATCH brackets that allow the
LATCH child seat to be secured directly
and easily to the vehicle body without the
use of adult seat belts.

The LATCH system reduces the
likelihood of incorrect fitting and is also
quicker and simpler to use.

Note: LATCH anchorages are provided
for rear seats only. LATCH child restraints
should be securely attached following the
manufacturer's instructions at these
locations only.

Installing a LATCH child seat

The anchorage loops are accessible
through two trimmed apertures at the
back of the rear seat cushion. Their
location is highlighted by the small tag
labels with a child seat graphic. The
anchorage loops are located
approximately 60 mm (2.5 inches) below
each label. Pull back the side of the trim
to reveal the aperture and the anchorage
loops.

Fit the seat as follows (the following is to
be considered only as a guide):

1. Push the adult seat belt buckles into

their stowage recesses, to ensure
they do not interfere with the fitment
of the child seat.

WARNINGS

If the restraint is not correctly
anchored, there is a significant
risk of injury to the child in the

event of a collision or emergency
braking.

Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only loads
imposed by correctly fitted child

restraints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts,
harnesses, or for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.

If removing a head restraint in
order to fit a child restraint, always
secure the head restraint when

storing it. If left loose in the vehicle it may
cause death or serious injury during
sudden braking or an impact.

2. Make sure there is nothing

obstructing the seat mounting
mechanism at the anchorage points.

3. Fully extend the two attachment legs

on the child seat. Ensure the hook at
the end of each leg is open.

4. Position the attachment legs just in

front of the trimmed apertures for the
LATCH anchorage loops. Push the
anchorage leg through the trimmed
aperture to engage with the vehicle’s
anchorage loop. There should be an
audible click.

5. Repeat Step 4 for the child seat’s

second anchorage leg.

6. Using firm and even pressure on both

sides, push the child seat rearwards
until it is secured firmly against the
seat back. Make sure you do not trap
the top tether strap behind the child
seat.

7. If your vehicle is fitted with top tether

anchorage brackets, make sure that
the top tether strap is secured.

8. As a final check, firmly pull both sides

of the seat to confirm that it is
correctly locked into position.

Removing the LATCH seat

To remove the LATCH child seat, press
the locking button on each side of the
seat to release anchorage legs. If your
vehicle is fitted with top tether
anchorages, undo the top tether strap
and lift the child seat from the vehicle.

Always follow the manufacturer’s

Steering wheel

ADJUSTING THE STEERING
WHEEL

The steering wheel can be adjusted for tilt
and reach.

1. Turn the switch to the COLUMN or

AUTO position.

2. Move the switch forwards or

backwards to adjust reach.

3. Move the switch up or down to adjust

tilt.

Three steering wheel positions can be
stored and recalled by the driver position
memory system. See MEMORY
FUNCTION (page 150).

The message centre will indicate which
switch position has been selected by
displaying the message COLUMN
ADJUST or COLUMN ADJUST AUTO.

Entry and exit mode

Entry and exit mode provides automatic
movement of the steering column to
allow easier entry to or exit from the
vehicle.

Entry and exit mode is selected by setting
the steering column adjustment switch to
the AUTO position.

Exit: If the ignition system is in the
convenience mode position and the
driver’s door is opened, the steering
column will move to the uppermost tilt
position, unless already in that position.

Entry: When the door is closed and the
START/STOP button is pressed, the
steering column will return to the previous
position.

WARNING

Never adjust the steering wheel
position whilst the vehicle is in
motion. Doing so will reduce

control of the vehicle, and may cause
unpredictable steering movements.

CAUTION

Do not use steering wheel mounted
security devices since movement
of the steering wheel in entry or exit

mode could result in damage to the
vehicle (e.g. the windscreen) or possible
injury to the occupant.

button is pressed.

• If the steering column is adjusted

during entry and exit operation,
steering column movement will stop.
