Below is a summary of
the main safety rules to
be followed when
carrying children
❒ The recommended position for
installing child restraint systems is on
the rear seat, as it is the most
protected area in the event of an
impact.
❒ If the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated always check the
dedicated LED on button
on the
instrument panel to make sure that it
has actually been deactivated.
❒ Carefully follow the instructions that
come with the child restraint system,
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 restraint systems 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 the seat belts do
not restrain the child's throat.
❒ While travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
❒ Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No-one can restrain
a child in the event of an accident.
❒ In the event of an accident, replace
the child restraint system with a
new one.
WARNING

Do not place a rearward 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 rearward facing cradle
seat, 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
