CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat: general information (2/2)
In the rear side seat
Always remove the headrest from the
rear seat on which the child seat is
positioned. ➥ 3.32. If necessary, posi-
tion the rear seat as far back as pos-
sible. This must be done before fitting
the child seat. Check that the child seat
is resting against the back of the rear
seat.
Rear centre seat
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
seat belt. For any additional informa-
tion, 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 neces-
sary, move the buckle from the seat in
question towards the centre of the ve-
hicle.
A child seat with a floor
support must never be in-
stalled on the rear centre
seat. RISK OF DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY.
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.
For the safety of a child in the facing
forwards, move the seat as far back as
possible and move the seat in front of
the child forward, remembering to move
the seatback forwards to avoid contact
between the seat and the child’s legs.
When fitting a child seat
(Group 2 or 3 booster seat),
check that the seat belts
operate (wind) correctly
➥ 1.21. If necessary, adjust the posi-
tion of the vehicle seat.
Ensure that the child seat or
the child’s feet are not pre-
venting the front seat from
locking into place ➥ 1.20 or
➥ 3.33.
