Compliance with current national legislation and the manufacturer's instructions is required when using or installing child seats.
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.

When tting a child seat on the front passen-
ger seat, the seat must be moved backwards as
far as possible and placed in the highest posi-
tion. The backrest must also be put in a vertical

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.38.
Read and always observe the safety informa-
tion included in the following chapters:
●
Safety distance with respect to the passenger
airbag ›››page54.
●
Objects between the passenger and the pas-
senger side airbag ›››
in Front airbags on
page57.
The passenger side front airbag, when ena-
bled, is a serious risk for a child that is facing
backward 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 you to
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57. When trans-
porting children, use a child seat suitable for
the age and size of each child ›››page62.
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 child seat facing backwards
on the front passenger seat unless the front
passenger airbag has been disabled. Risk of
potentially fatal injuries to the child! How-
ever, if necessary, the front passenger front
airbag must be deactivated ›››page57. If
the passenger seat has a height adjustment
option, move it to the highest, most upright
position. If you have a xed seat, do not in-
stall any child restraint system in this loca-
tion.
●
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.
●
Children who are less than 1.50m tall must
not wear a normal seat belt without a child
seat, as this could cause injuries to the ab-
dominal and neck areas during a sudden
braking manoeuvre or in an accident.
●
When a child seat is mounted in the rear
seats, the door's child lock should be activa-
ted ›››page110.
Attachment systems

ment systems are used for safely installing child
