SAFETY DEVICES
Below is a summary of the rules
of safety to be followed
for carrying children:
❒ The recommended position for in-
stalling children’s seat is on the rear
seat, as it is the most protected in the
case of a crash.
❒ If the passenger’s air bag is deactivat-
ed (where required) always check the
amber yellow warning light “ on the
cluster to make sure that it has actu-
ally been deactivated.
❒ Attain to the instructions for fastening
the specific child restraint system
which you are using. These instruc-
tions must be provided by the manu-
facturer. Keep the child restraint sys-
tem installation instructions with the
car documents and this Handbook.
Never use a child restraint system
without installation instructions.
❒ Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened by pulling the webbing.
❒ Only one child is to be strapped to
each retaining system.
❒ Always check the seat belts do not fit
around the child’s throat.
❒ While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or release the belts.
❒ Passengers should never carry children
on their laps. No-one, however strong
they are, can hold a child in the event
of a crash.
❒ In case of an accident, replace the seat
with a new one.
With passenger’s air bag ac-
tive, never place child’s seats
with the cradle facing backwards
since the air bag activation could
cause to the child serious injuries,
even mortal, regardless of the seri-
ousness of the crash that triggered it.
You are advised to carry children al-
ways with proper restraint systems on
the rear seats, as this is the most pro-
tected position in the case of a crash.

ISOFIX CHILD
RESTRAINT
ASSEMBLY SETUP
Provision has been made on the car to
mount a Universal Isofix child restraint
system, a new European standardised sys-
tem for carrying children safely.
Isofix systems can be mounted simultane-
ously with a traditional restraint system.
An example of child seat is shown in
fig. 14.
The Universal Isofix child seat covers
weight group: 1.
Specific Isofix child seats cover the other
weight groups. These seats must be de-
signed, tested and type-approved specifi-
cally for this car (refer to the list of cars
attached to the child seat).
