Main safety rules to be followed when
carrying children:
❒ Install the child seats on the rear seat, which is
the most protected position in the event of an
accident.
❒ If the passenger's air bag is deactivated always
check the warning light on the instrument
panel to make sure that it has actually been
deactivated.
❒ Carefully follow the instructions supplied with
the child seat which are mandatory by law.
Keep the instructions in the car along with the
other documents 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
retaining system; never carry two children using
one child seat.
❒ Always check that the seat belts do not restrain
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 can restrain a child in the
event of an accident.
❒ In the event of an accident, replace the child
seat with a new one.
