Safety
"Forward facing"
General points relating to
child seats
Ensure that the seat belt is positioned and
tightened correctly.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in firm and steady
contact with the floor.
At the front: if necessary, adjust the
passenger seat.
At the rear: if necessary, adjust the
relevant front seat.
The regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
When a "forward facing" child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat, adjust the
vehicle's seat to the rearmost longitudinal
position, with the backrest straightened and
leave the front passenger airbag activated.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
-
In accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to
their weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt
or ISOFIX mountings.

"Rearward facing"

-
Statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
A child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the rearward facing position
both in the front and in the rear.
When a child seat is installed on the front
passenger seat, adjust the seat to the highest
position, in the rearmost longitudinal
position, with the backrest straightened.
When a "rearward facing" child seat is installed
on the front passenger seat, adjust the
vehicle's seat to the rearmost longitudinal
position, with the backrest straightened.
Deactivating the front
passenger airbag
The front passenger airbag must be
deactivated, without exception. Otherwise,
the child risks being seriously injured
or killed if the airbag is deployed.
It is recommended that children travel on
the rear seats of your vehicle:
Never install a "rearward facing" child
restraint system on a seat protected by an
active front airbag. This could cause the
death of the child or serious injury.
