Overhead Console
A visual and audible reminder alert the
vehicle occupants if a seatbelt is not
being worn. The audible reminder is
dependent on vehicle speed.
Child Safety
Statistics show that children are safer
when properly restrained in the back
seat of a vehicle, an option unavailable
in this vehicle. In addition, a passenger
airbag is fitted, producing a serious
risk to children - particularly infants
and small children. Please read the
information before a child or person of
small stature uses the passenger seat.
Occupant Classification Sensor
The passenger seat is fitted with an
OCS (Occupant Classification Sensor).
This is designed to disable (will not
inflate) the passenger’s side front
airbag under certain conditions, such
as if the passenger seat is being used
by a baby seated in a suitable, correctly
fitted child restraint system (such as
forward/rearward-facing child seat).
Only if a passenger (child or adult),
is of a physical size (4 feet 5 inches
or taller), so that the seat belt can
be satisfactorily positioned over the
collar bone and against the centre of
their chest, and over 110 lb (50 kg),
should they be allowed to travel in the
passenger seat.
WARNING: A passenger outside of
this weight and height group, may
not be recognized correctly by
the occupant classification sensor
system resulting in the incorrect
disabling of the front passenger
airbag and so should not be
transported in the passenger seat.
See page 40 for further details.
Never allow a child to sit on the knee of
the passenger.
Child Restraints
The only child restraint system that
can be used on the passenger seat is
a suitable, correctly fitted forward/
rearward-facing child seat intended for
a baby.
Booster Cushions
WARNING: Booster cushions must
not be used on the passenger
seat as the occupant classification
sensor may not enable (may not
inflate), the forward passenger
airbag in the event of a collision.
Suitable Child Seats
Only universal child seats are suitable
for the Emira. See pages 35 and 36 for
further information.
