CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)

Carrying children

Please ensure that you comply with the

legislation of your country.

Children, and adults, must be correctly

seated and strapped in for all journeys.

The children being carried in your vehi-

cle are your responsibility.

Driver’s responsibility

when parking or stopping

the vehicle

A child is not a miniature adult. Children

To prevent the doors being

opened, use the “Child lock”

feature. ➥ 1.14.

are at risk of specific injuries as their

muscles and bones have not yet fin-

ished growing. The seat belt alone

would not provide suitable protection.

Use an approved child seat and ensure

you use it correctly.

Never leave an animal,

child or adult who is not self-suffi-

cient alone on your vehicle, even for

a short time.

A collision at 31 mph

(50 km/ꢀh) is the same

as falling a distance of

10 metres.

They may pose a risk to themselves

or to others by starting the engine,

activating equipment such as the

electric windows or by locking the

doors.

Transporting

child without

a restraint is the equivalent of allow-

ing him or her to play on a fourth-

floor balcony without railings.

Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,

please remember that the tempera-

ture inside the passenger compart-

ment increases very quickly.

Never travel with a child held in your

arms.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS

INJURY.

In the event of an accident, you will

not be able to keep hold of the child,

even if you yourself are wearing a

seat belt.

If your vehicle has been involved in

a road accident, replace the child

seat and have the seat belts and

ISOFIX anchorage points checked.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)

Before fitting a child seat, read the

Using a child seat

manual and respect its instructions. If

you experience any difficulties during

installation, contact the manufacturer

of the equipment. Keep the instructions

with the seat.

The level of protection offered by the

child seat depends on its ability to re-

strain your child and on its installation.

Incorrect installation compromises the

protection it offers the child in the event

of harsh braking or an impact.

Before purchasing a child seat, check

that it complies with the regulations for

the country you are in and that it can

be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap-

proved dealer to find out which seats

are recommended for your vehicle.

The regulations on transporting chil-

dren are specific to each country. The

use of a child seat during transport de-

pends on the age and/or the size and/

or weight of the child.

Never leave a child unat-

tended in the vehicle.

Check that your child is

always strapped in and that

the belt or safety harness used is

correctly set and adjusted. Avoid

wearing bulky clothing which could

cause the belts to slacken ➥ 1.23.

For children who do not need to be

transported in a child seat, make sure

that the seat belt is correctly adjusted

and fastened.

Set a good example by always fas-

tening your seat belt and teaching

your child:

– to strap themselves in correctly;

Never let your child put their head or

arms out of the window.

In all cases, you must comply with the

regulations of the particular country you

are in.

– to always get in and out of the car

at the kerb, away from busy traf-

fic.

Check that the child is in the correct

position for the entire journey, espe-

cially if asleep.

Do not use a second-hand child

seat or one without an instruction

manual.

Check that there are no objects in

the vicinity of the child seat which

could impede its operation.
