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 seats 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). In

the case of 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.

Fit the child seat in a rear

seat wherever possible.

Do not change other settings after in-

stalling the child seat.

Make sure that the child

seat or the child’s feet do

not prevent the front seat from lock-

ing correctly. Refer to the informa-

tion on the “Front seat” in Section 1.

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.

Check that when installing the child

seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of

coming loose from its base.

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.

In all situations, reinsert the headrest to

its full extent so that it does not interfere

with the child seat (see the information

on “Front headrests” in Section 1);

RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY: before

fitting a rear-facing child

seat to this seat, check

that the airbag has been deacti-

vated (refer to the information on

“Child safety: deactivating/activat-

ing the front passenger airbag” 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, general information (2/2)

In the rear 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.

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.

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 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.

For the safety of the child in the for-

ward-facing position:

– move the relevant seat backwards

as far as possible;

For 7-seater vehicles, a

child seat with a floor sup-

port should never be in-

stalled on the third row rear

seats.

– move the seat in front of the child

forwards, and set the position of the

seatback to avoid contact between

the seat and the child’s legs.

Always remove the headrest from the

rear seat used for the child seat (see

“Rear headrests” in Section 3). If nec-

essary, position the rear seat as far

back as possible. This must be done

before fitting the child seat.

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.

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 the “Rear seats” in

Section 3.

Check that the child seat is resting

against the back of the rear seat.

Risk of serious injury in the event

of sudden braking or accident.
