CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat, general information (1/2)
Some seats are not suitable for fitting
child seats. The diagram on the follow-
ing page shows you how to attach a
child seat.
The types of child seat indicated may
not be available. Before using a differ-
ent child seat, check with the manufac-
turer that it can be fitted.
After installing the child seat, when this
is possible, you can move the vehi-
cle seat forward if necessary (so as to
leave enough space in the rear seats
for passengers or other child seats).
For a rear-facing child seat, do not let
it touch the dashboard or move it to the
furthest forward position.
In the front seat
The laws concerning children travel-
ling in the front passenger seat differ in
every country. Consult the legislation in
force and follow the indications on the
diagram on the following page.
Do not change other settings after in-
stalling the child seat.
Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if
authorised):
Make sure the child seat or
the child’s feet do not pre-
vent the front seat from locking cor-
rectly. ➥ 1.21.
– lower the seat belt as far as possible;
– move the seat as far back as possi-
ble;
Check that when installing the child
seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of
coming loose from its base.
– gently tilt the seatback away from
vertical (approximately 25°);
If you have to remove the headrest,
check that it is correctly stored so
that it does not come loose under
harsh braking or impact.
– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat
base as far as possible.
Always fully raise the seat headrest so
that it does not interfere with the child
seat ➥ 1.98.
Always attach the child seat to the
vehicle even if it is not in use so that
it does not come loose under harsh
braking or impact.
RISK OF DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY: before
fitting a rear-facing child
seat in this seat, make sure
that the front passenger airbag has
been deactivated. ➥ 1.57.
