Key not detected
Back-up starting
A back-up reader is fitted to the steering column
so that the engine can be started if the system
does not detect the key in the recognition zone,
or if the battery in the electronic key is flat.
Place and hold the remote control against the
reader...
An incorrectly installed
child seat
compromises the child's safety in the
event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
harness of child seats, keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys...
