SAFETY
Below is a summary of the
rules of safety to be followed for
carrying children:
❒
The recommended position for in-
stalling child’s seat is on the rear seat,
as it is the most protected in the ca-
se of a crash.
❒
If the passenger’s air bag is deactivated
always check the amber warning light
“ on the cluster to make sure that it
has actually been deactivated.
❒
Carefully follow the instructions sup-
plied with the child restraint system
which are mandatory by law. Keep the
instructions in the car along with the
other papers and this handbook. Do
not use child seats without instruc-
tions.
❒
Always check the seat belt is well fa-
stened by pulling the webbing.
❒
Only one child is to be strapped to ea-
ch retaining system.
❒
Always check the seat belts do not fit
around the child’s throat.
❒
While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or release the belts.
❒
Never carry children on your lap, even
newborns. No-one, however strong,
can hold a child in the event of an ac-
cident.
❒
In case of an accident, replace the
child’s seat with a new one.
Do not place a cradle seat
facing backwards on the
front seat if the passenger side airbag
is on. Deployment of the airbag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to
the baby regardless of the severity of
the collision. It is advisable to carry
children in an appropriate restraint
system on the rear seat which is the
most protected position in the event
of an accident.
WARNING
“ISOFIX” CHILD
RESTRAINT
ASSEMBLY SETUP
This car is preset for mounting the Uni-
versal Isofix child restraint system, a new
European standardised system for carrying
children safely.
It is possible to fit either traditional re-
straint systems and “Isofix” restraint sy-
stems.
An example of child seat is shown in
Fig. 14.
The Universal Isofix child’s seat covers
weight group: 1.
Specific Isofix systems are provided for the
other weight classes and may be used only
if specifically designed, tested and appro-
ved for use on this car (see list of cars at-
tached to the child restraint).
