CHILD SAFETY: Choosing a child seat mounting

There are two ways of attaching child

seats: via the seat belt or using the

ISOFIX system.

system

Do not use the child seat

if it may unfasten the seat

belt restraining it: the base

of the seat must not rest on

the buckle and/or catch of the seat

belt.

Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-

proved in accordance with regulation

ECE-R44 in one of the three following

cases:

Check that the seat belt has not

been damaged by sharp edges.

If the seat belt does not operate nor-

mally, it will not protect the child.

Consult an approved dealer. Do not

use this seat until the seat belt has

been repaired.

Check that the seat is correctly held by

moving it from side to side and back

to front: the seat should remain firmly

fixed.

The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings

and, in some cases, a third ring.

Check that the child seat has not been

installed at an angle and that it is not

resting against a window.

Before using an ISOFIX

child seat that you pur-

chased for another vehicle,

check that its installation is

authorised. Consult the list of ve-

hicles which can be fitted with the

seat from the equipment manufac-

turer.

No modifications may be

made to the component

parts of the restraint system

(seat belts, ISOFIX and

seats and their mountings) originally

fitted.

The two rings 1 are located between

the seatback and the seat base of the

seat and are identified by a marking.

To ensure your child seat can be easily

fitted and locked on rings 1, use access

guides 2 on the child seat.

The third ring is used to attach the

upper strap on some child seats:

– depending on the vehicle, unclip

mobile floor cover 6 then pass

through strap 3;

– hook 4 must be fitted to ring 5 or

to the ring located under cover 6

^{marked with}ꢀ. The strap must

then be tightened.

The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child

seats with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat

belt or other objects to these anchorage points.

Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.

If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage

points checked and replace your child seat.
