Curtain airbags
Do not x or attach anything to the roof,
as this could cause head injuries when the
curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the grab handles installed on
the roof, as these help to secure the curtain
airbags.
Child seats
The regulations on carrying children are
specic to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
– In accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less than
1.5 metres tall must travel in approved child
seats suited to their weight, on seats tted with
a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.
– Statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
– Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearward facing" position,
whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel
on the rear seats of the vehicle:
– "rearward facing" up to the age of 3.
– "forward facing" over the age of 3.
Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in rm and steady contact
with the oor.
An incorrectly installed child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's safety in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harness keeping the slack relative
to the child's body to a minimum, even for
short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat rmly on the vehicle seat. If
the passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
Remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with a backrest on a
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Ret the head restraint once
the child seat has been removed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped
with a belt guide at shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the sun's rays,
t side blinds on the rear windows.
As a safety measure, do not leave:
– A child alone and unsupervised inside a
vehicle.
– A child or an animal in a vehicle which is
exposed to the sun, with the windows closed.
– The keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.
