Main recommendations to carry
children safely
Always check that the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling on it.
WARNING
Install the child restraint systems on
the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an
impact.
While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
88) SEVERE DANGER When a front
passenger airbag is fitted, do not install
rearward facing child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a
collision.
Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or
behind their back.
Keep children in rearward facing
child restraint systems for as long as
possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.
Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No one can hold
a child in the case of an accident.
Should a rearward facing child
restraint system be installed on the rear
seats, it is advisable to position it as
far forward as the position of the front
seat allows.
If the car has been involved in a
medium-high severity road accident,
replace the child restraint system with a
new one. In addition, and depending
on the type of child restraint system
installed, replace the isofix anchorages
or the seat belt with which the child
restraint system was connected.
89) On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if
a rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger side sun visor (see the
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)
- Airbag" paragraph).
If the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated, always check that the
warning light is on constantly in the
central dashboard, to make sure that
it has actually been deactivated.
Before installing a child restraint
system of any kind on the rear seat
facing in the direction of movement of
the vehicle, it is necessary to remove
the head restraint from the rear seat
position in which the child restraint
system is to be installed. On the other
hand, before installing a child restraint
system composed of only the seat
cushion (without backrest) on the rear
seat, it is necessary to ensure that
the head restraint of the rear seat
position in which the child restraint
system is to be installed is correctly
fitted.
90) Should it be necessary to carry a child
on the passenger side front seat in a rear
facing child restraint system, the passenger
side front and side airbags must be
deactivated through the display main
menu, verifying deactivation by checking
Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint system.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle
along with the other documents and
this handbook. Do not use second-
hand child restraint systems without
instructions.
that the warning light
located in the
central part of the dashboard has switched
on. Move the passenger's seat as far
back as possible to avoid contact between
the child seat and the dashboard.
Only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry two
children using one child restraint
system.
91) Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
Always check that the seat belts do
not rest on the child’s neck.
