most protected position in the event of an
accident.
❒ If the passenger's air bag is deactivated always
check the warning light (amber) on the instrument
panel to make sure that it has actually been
deactivated.
❒ Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system which are mandatory by law.
Keep the instructions in the car along with the
other documents and this handbook. Do not use
second-hand child seats without instructions.
❒ Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by
pulling on it.
❒ Only one child is to be strapped into each
retaining system; never carry two children using
one child seat.
❒ Always check that the seat belts do not restrain
the child's throat.
❒ While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly
or release the belts.
❒ 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's seat
with a new one.
WARNING
In cars fitted with passenger's air bag
never place child restraint systems
on the front seat, since children must never
travel on the front seat.
