CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/6)

Some seats are not suitable for fitting

child seats. The diagram on the fol-

lowing page shows you how to attach

a child seat.

In the front seat

The laws concerning children travel-

ling in the front passenger seat differ in

every country. Consult the legislation in

force and follow the indications on the

diagram on the following page.

The types of child seats indicated may

not be available. Before using a diffe-

rent child seat, check with the manufac-

turer that it can be fitted.

Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if

authorised):

– deactivate the front passenger air

bag;

– lower the seat belt as far as possible;

– move the seat as far back as pos-

sible;

– gently tilt the seatback away from

vertical (approximately 25°).

Fit the child seat in a rear

seat wherever possible.

Check that when installing

the child seat in the vehicle

it is not at risk of coming loose from

its base.

Do not change these settings after the

child seat is installed.

If you have to remove the headrest,

check that it is correctly stored so

that it does not come loose under

harsh braking or impact.

Always attach the child seat to the

vehicle even if it is not in use so that

it does not come loose under harsh

braking or impact.

RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY: before

fitting a child seat in this

seat, check that the air bag

has been deactivated (refer to the in-

formation on “Deactivating the front

passenger air bag” in Section 1).

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (2/6)

In the rear side seat

For the safety of the child in the

Rear centre seat

forward-facing seat, do not move the

seat in front back past the middle of the

runner, do not tilt the seatback too far

(maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as

much as possible.

A carrycot can be installed across the

vehicle and will take up at least two

seats. Position the child with his or her

feet nearest the door.

A child seat may only be fitted in this

seat if it is equipped with an inertia-reel

belt. For any additional information,

contact an approved dealer.

Before installing a child seat in the

ISOFIX anchoring points on a rear side

seat, check that the seat belt buckles

are not placed between the two ISOFIX

anchorage points in this seat. If ne-

cessary, move the buckle for the seat

concerned towards the centre of the

vehicle.

Check that the forward-facing child seat

is resting against the back of the vehi-

cle seat and that the headrest of the

vehicle is not obstructing its use.

Move the front seat as far forward as

possible to install a rear-facing child

seat, then move back the seat in front

as far as it will go, although without al-

lowing it to come into contact with the

child seat.

Make sure that the child

seat or the child’s feet do

not prevent the front seat

from locking correctly.

Please refer to the information on

the “Front seat” in Section 1.
