Transporting children safely
The head-protection airbags reduce the risk of
injury to passengers in the front and rear side
seats facing the impact.
WARNING
●
In order for the head-protection airbags to
provide their maximum protection, the pre-
scribed sitting position must always be main-
tained with seat belts fastened while travel-
ling.
●
For safety reasons, the curtain airbag must
be disabled in those vehicles tted with a
screen dividing the interior of the vehicle.
See your technical service to make this ad-
justment.
●
There must be no other persons, animals
or objects between the occupants of the
outer seats and the deployment space of the
head-protection airbags so that the head-
protection airbag can deploy completely
without restriction and provide the greatest
possible protection. Therefore, sun blinds
which have not been expressly approved for
use in your vehicle may not be attached to
the side windows.
●
Ensure that children are correctly seated
in their seats and that their heads are not
in the deployment zone of the head airbags
›››Fig.36, as deploying airbags could hit
them and cause serious injury.
●
The built-in coat hooks should be used
only for lightweight clothing. Do not leave
any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the
pockets. Please, do not hang the clothes on
coat hangers.
●
The airbags provide protection for just one
accident; replace them once they have de-
ployed.
●
Any work on the head-protection airbag
system or removal and installation of the air-
bag components for other repairs (such as
removal of the roof lining) should only be
performed by a specialised workshop. Other-
wise, faults may occur during the airbag sys-
tem operation.
●
The side and head airbags are managed
through sensors located in the interior of the
front doors. To ensure the correct operation
of the side and curtain airbags neither the
doors nor the door panels should be modi-
ed in any way (e.g. tting loudspeakers). If
the front door is damaged, the airbag system
may not work correctly. All work carried out
on the front door must be done in a special-
ised workshop.

Introduction
For safety reasons, as we have learned from
accident statistics, we recommend that chil-
dren under 12 years of age travel in the rear
seats. Depending on their age, height and
weight, children travelling in rear seats must
use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety rea-
sons, the child seat should be installed in the
rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or in
the centre back seat.
The laws of physics involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children
›››page48. But unlike adults, children do not
have fully developed muscle and bone struc-
tures. This means that children are subject to a
greater risk of injury.
To reduce the risk of injuries, children must
always use special child restraint systems when
travelling in the vehicle.
We recommend the use of child safety
products from the Genuine Accessories Pro-
gramme, which includes systems for all ages
(see www.cupraaccessories.com).
These systems have been especially de-
signed and approved and comply with the
UNECER129 (i-Size) regulation.
CUPRA recommends securing the child seats
