WARNING

Fit the child seat according to the
instructions, which must be included

with this type of restraint system.

Main recommendations to carry children
safely:
❒ Install the child seats on the rear seat, which is the

most protected position in the event of an
accident.

❒ Keep children in rearward facing restraint systems

for as long as possible, until 3–4 years old.

❒ Should a rearward facing restraint system be

installed on the rear seats, it is advisable to
position it as far forward as the position of the
front seat allows.

❒ If the passenger's front airbag is deactivated always

check the warning light on the instrument panel
to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.

❒ Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the

child restraint system itself. Keep the instructions
in the car along with the other documents and this
handbook. Do not use second-hand child restraint
systems without instructions.

❒ Only one child is to be strapped into each

restraint system; never carry two children using
one child restraint system.

❒ Always check that the seat belts do not interfere

with the child's throat.

❒ Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by

pulling on it.

❒ While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly

or unfasten the belts.

❒ Never allow a child to put the belt's diagonal

section under an arm or behind their back.

❒ Never carry children on your lap, even newborns.

No-one can restrain a child in the event of an
accident.

❒ In the event of an accident, replace the child

restraint system with a new one.
