SAFETY
150
Below is a summary of
the main safety rules
to be followed when
carrying children
114)
The recommended position for
installing child restraint systems is
on the rear seat, as it is the most
protected area in the event of a
collision.
Keep children in rearward facing
child restraint systems for as long as
possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.
If the passenger front airbag is
deactivated, always check the
corresponding LED on the button
on the instrument panel to make sure
that it has actually been deactivated.
Carefully follow the instructions that
come with the child seat, which the
manufacturer must supply. Keep the
instructions in the vehicle along with
the other papers and this handbook.
Do not use second-hand child seats
without instructions.
Always check that the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling on it.
Only one child is to be strapped
into each restraint system; never carry
two children using one child restraint
system.
Always check that seat belts do not
rest on the child’s neck.
While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No-one can hold a
child in the case of a collision.
Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or
behind their back.
If the vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, replace the child
restraint system with a new one.
In addition, and depending on the
type of child restraint system installed,
replace the ISOFIX anchorages or the
seat belt with which the child restraint
system was connected.
The rear headrest can be removed
if needed to install a child restraint
system. The head restraint must always
be fitted in the vehicle if the seat is
used by an adult passenger or a child
sitting in a restraint system without
backrest.
WARNING
114)
Do not place a rear-facing cradle
seat on the front seat if the passenger
side airbag is enabled. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause
fatal injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the impact. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the
most protected position in the event
of a collision. If you need to carry a
child on the front passenger seat in a
rear-facing cradle restraint system, the
passenger side airbags (front and side
bags for chest/pelvis protection, for
versions/markets, where provided) must
be deactivated using the setup menu. It
is important to check the dedicated LED
on button
on the dashboard to make
sure that they are actually deactivated.
Move the passenger's seat as far back
as possible to avoid contact between the
child seat and the dashboard.
SUPPLEMENTARY

(SRS) - AIRBAG

the middle of the steering wheel, on
the dashboard, on the side lining or
on a label placed next to the airbag
deployment area.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front airbags protect the front seat
occupants in the event of a medium-
high severity frontal impact, by placing
