Safety
●
Please read and follow the child seat manu-
facturer's operating instructions.
●
The child seat should preferably be tted to
the rear seat behind the front passenger seat
so that the child can exit the vehicle on the
pavement side.
●
Set the height of the seat belt such that
it adapts to the child seat naturally, without
twisting. The lowest position of the seat belt
height regulator must be used with rear-facing
child seats.
●
To correctly use a child seat in the back, the
front backrest must be adjusted so that there is
no contact with the child seat in the back if it is
rear facing. In the case of front facing restraint
systems, the front backrest must be adjusted
so that there is no contact with the child's feet.
●
For a correct assembly of the child's seat on
the rear seats, adjust or dismount the head-
rest, in order to prevent contact with the seat.
●
If a semi-universal type seat is to be installed,
in which the method of attachment to the car
is through the seat belt and support bracket,
it should never be installed in the central rear
seat as the ground clearance is lower than in
other places and the support bracket will not
allow the seat to remain suiciently stable.
Important information about the front pas-
senger airbag
A sticker with important information about the
passenger airbag is located on the passenger's
sunshade blind and/or on the passenger side
door frame ›››Fig.34.
Read and always observe the safety informa-
tion included in the following chapters:
●
Safety distance with respect to the passenger
airbag ›››page48.
●
Objects between the passenger and the pas-
senger side airbag ››› in Front airbags on
page51.
The passenger side front airbag, when ena-
bled, is a serious risk for a rear-facing child
since the airbag can strike the seat with such
force that it can cause serious or fatal injuries.
Children up to 12 years old should always travel
on the rear seat.
Therefore we strongly recommend that you
transport children on the rear seats. This is the
safest location in the vehicle. Alternatively, the
front passenger airbag can be disabled with a
key-operated switch ›››page52. When trans-
porting children, use a child seat suitable for
the age and size of each child ›››page56.
WARNING
●
If a child seat is secured to the front pas-
senger seat, the risk to the child of sustaining
critical or fatal injuries in the event of an ac-
cident increases.
●
An inating front passenger airbag can
strike the rear-facing child seat and throw it
with great force against the door, the roof or
the backrest.
●
Never install a rear-facing child seat on the
front passenger seat unless the front passen-
ger airbag has been disabled. Risk of poten-
tially fatal injuries to the child! However, if
necessary, the front passenger airbag must
be deactivated›››page52.
●
For those vehicles that do not include a key
lock switch to deactivate the airbag, the vehi-
cle must be taken to a technical service. Do
not forget to reconnect the airbag when an
adult wants to sit in the front passenger seat.
●
Never allow a child to be transported in a
vehicle without being properly secured, or
to stand up or kneel on a seat while travel-
ling. In an accident, the child could be ung
through the vehicle, causing possibly fatal in-
juries to themselves and to the other vehicle
occupants.
●
Never leave a child alone in the child seat
or in the vehicle.
