CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/11)

Some seats are not suitable for fitting

child seats. The diagram on the follow-

ing page shows you how to attach a

child seat.

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.

The types of child seats indicated may

not be available. Before using a differ-

ent child seat, check with the manufac-

turer that it can be fitted.

Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if

authorised):

– lower the seat belt as far as possible;

– move the seat as far back as possi-

ble;

– gently tilt the seatback away from

vertical (approximately 25°);

– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat

base as far as possible.

Fit the child seat in a rear

seat wherever possible.

Check that when installing

the child seat in the vehicle

it is not at risk of coming loose from

its base.

Do not change these settings after the

child seat is installed.

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.

RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY: before

fitting a rear-facing child

seat to this seat, check

that the air bag has been deacti-

vated (refer to the information on

“Child safety: deactivating/activat-

ing the front passenger air bag” in

Section 1).

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.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (2/11)

In the rear seat

In the rear centre seat

When fitting a child seat

(Group 2 or 3 booster seat),

check that the seat belts op-

erate (wind) correctly: refer

to Section 1 “Rear seat belts”. If

necessary, adjust the position of the

vehicle seat.

A carrycot can be installed across the

vehicle and will take up at least two

seats. Position the child with his or her

feet nearest the door.

Some child seats are too wide to allow

access to the seat belt buckles. Check

that your child seat can be fitted in this

seat.

Move the front seat as far forward as

possible to install a rear-facing child

seat, then move back the seat in front

as far as it will go, although without al-

lowing it to come into contact with the

child seat.

When fitting an ISOFIX child seat in

this place, ensure that the two seat

belt buckles are placed flat under the

child seat, except in the case of booster

seats attached to the ISOFIX locks,

whose fitting is authorised

For the safety of the child in the for-

ward-facing seat, do not move the seat

in front back past the middle of the

runner, do not tilt the seatback too far

(maximum of 25°) and move the seat

backwards as far as possible.

Check that the child seat is resting

against the back of the vehicle seat and

that the headrest of the vehicle is not

obstructing its use.

The floor of your vehicle

has storage spaces. Before

installing a child seat with

a floor support, ensure that

this seat can be correctly installed

by consulting the list of compatible

vehicles supplied with the child seat.

For 7-seater vehicles, the second row

rear seats must be pushed forward

before a child is seated in the third row

rear seats.

Ensure that the child seat

or the child’s feet do not

prevent the front seat from

locking correctly. Refer to

the information on the “Front seat”

in Section 1 or “Rear seat operation”

in Section 3.

Risk of serious injury in the event of

sudden braking or accident.
