Install the child restraint systems
on the rear seat, which is the most
protected positionin the event of an
impact.
Keep children in rearward facing
child restraint systems for as long as
possible, ideally until they are 2 years
old.
Should a rearwardfacing child
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'sfront airbag
is deactivated always check the
permanent switching on of the
warning light to make sure that it has
actually been deactivated.
Carefully follow theinstructions
supplied with the child restraint system.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle
along with the other documents and
this handbook. Donot use second-
hand child seats without instructions.
Only one child is tobe strapped into
each restraint system; never carry two
children simultaneously.
Always check that the seat belts do
not rest on the child’s neck.
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 childto put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or
behind their back.
Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No-one can hold a
child in the case ofa crash.
In the event of anaccident, replace
the child restraint system with a new
one. In addition, and depending on the
type of child restraint system installed,
replace the ISOFIXanchorages or the
seat belt with which the child restraint
system was connected.
The rear headrest(where provided)
can be removed ifneeded to install a
child restraint system. The headrest
must always be fitted in the car if the
seat is used by anadult passenger
or a child sitting in arestraint system
without a backrest.

The front driver/passenger airbags and
the driver's knee bag (where provided)
protect the front seat occupants in the
event of frontal impacts of medium/high
severity, by placingthe bag between
the occupant andthe steering wheel or
dashboard.
Therefore non-activation of airbags in
other types of collisions (side impacts,
rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not
indicate a systemmalfunction.
An electronic control unit will make
the bag inflate in the event of a frontal
impact.
The bag will inflate instantaneously
