Below is a summary of the rules of
safety to be followed for carrying
children:
❒
The recommended position for in-
stalling children’s seat is on the rear
seat, as it is the most protected in the
case of a crash.
❒
If the passenger’s air bag is deactivated
always check the warning light F on
the instrument panel to make sure that
it has actually been deactivated.
❒
Attain to the instructions for fastening
the specific child restraint system which
you are using. These instructions must
be provided by the manufacturer. Keep
the child restraint system installation in-
structions with the car documents and
this Handbook. Never use a child re-
straint system without installation in-
structions.
❒
Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened by pulling the webbing.
❒
Only one child is to be strapped to each
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.
❒
Passengers should never carry children
on their laps. No-one, however strong
they are, can hold a child in the event
of a crash.
❒
In case of an accident, replace the seat
with a new one.
Never place cradle child’s
seats facing backwards on
the front passenger seat of cars fitted
with passenger air bag since the air
bag activation could cause serious in-
juries, even mortal. You are advised
to carry children always on the rear
seat, as this is the most protected po-
sition in the case of a crash.
