    It is advised to mount the childrestraint system only on one of therear outer seats.

    Selectingtheright systemYour child should travel facing

    backwards in the vehicle, until asold as possible. It is appropriate tochange the system when the child'shead can no longer be properly

    supported at eye height. The child'scervical vertebrae are still veryweak and in an accident they sufferless stress in the semi-prone rearward position than when sittingupright.

    Children under 12 years or under 150cm tall should only travel in anappropriatechildsafety seat.

    Never carry a child whilst traveling inthe vehicle. The child willbecometoo heavy to hold in the event of acollision. When transportingchildren, use the child restraintsystems suitable for the child'sweight.

    Ensure that the child restraint system tobe installed is compatible with thevehicle type.

    Ensure that the mounting location ofthe child restraint system within thevehicle is correct.

    Only allow children to enter and exitthe vehicle at the side facing awayfrom the traffic.

    Engine oil life system for diesel

    engines(not available on all versions orengines)

    When to change engine oil

    This vehicle may have a computer systemthat indicates when to change the engineoil and filter. This is based on enginerevolutions and engine temperature, andnot on mileage.

    Based on driving conditions, themileage at which an oil change isindicated can vary considerably.

    For the oil life system to work properly,the system must be reset every time theoil is changed. When the system hascalculated that oil life has beendiminished, it indicates that an oilchange is necessary. Code 82appearsin the Driver Information Center.Change the oil as soon as possiblewithin the next 1000 kms.

    It is possible that, if driving under the

    best conditions, the oil life systemmight indicate that an oil change is notnecessary for up to a year. The engineoil and filter must be changed at leastonce a year and, at this time, the systemmust be reset. Your

    has trained service people whocan perform this work and reset thesystem.

    It is also important to check the oil

    regularly over the course of an oil draininterval and keep it at the proper level.If the system is ever reset accidentally,the oil must be changed at 15000 kms /1year since the last oil change.Remember to reset the oil life systemwhenever the oil is changed.
