Passive Features Airbags: Front driver and passenger airbags, front side airbags, and curtain airbags for all rows. Seatbelts: Three-point seatbelts with pretensioners and load limiters for all seating positions. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Audio System: Factory fitted radio/CD player, often with steering wheel controls. Higher trims may offer premium sound systems. Navigation: Optional factory-fitted GPS navigation system, often integrated into the dashboard display. Driver Assistance Parking Assistance: Rear parking sensors were available as an option. Connectivity Multiplexing: Utilizes a multiplexed electrical system (CAN bus) for communication between various ECUs, affecting diagnostics and troubleshooting. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Interval: Typically every 20,000 km (12,500 miles) or 1 year, whichever comes first. Diesel variants might have slightly different intervals or require specific oil types. Timing Belt Replacement: For petrol engines (e.g., EW10J4), typically around 120,000 km (75,000 miles) or 5 years. Diesel engines (HDI) use timing chains or belts with potentially longer intervals, but the manual will specify. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Specification: Likely PSA B71 2294 (for petrol) or PSA B71 2296/2297 (for diesel) meeting specific SAE viscosity grades (e.g., 5W-40, 0W-30).
