CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (6/6)
(1) RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: before fitting a rear-facing child seat in the front passenger seat, check
that the air bag has been deactivated (refer to the information on “Deactivating the front passenger air bags” at the
end of the paragraph).
X = seat not suitable for fitting child seats.
U = seat allowing a child seat with “Universal” approval to be attached by seat belt; check that it can be fitted correctly.
IUF/IL = on equipped vehicles, seat which allows a child seat with “universal, semi-universal or vehicle specific” approval to be
fitted using the ISOFIX system; check that it can be fitted correctly.
L = seat which allows certain booster cushions to be fitted. Consult the booklet available from an approved Dealer.
(2) Only a rear-facing child seat can be fitted to this seat: position the vehicle seat as far back and as high as possible, and tilt the
seatback slightly (approximately 25°).
(3) A carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nearest
the door.
(4) Push the vehicle seat fully forwards to install a rear-facing child seat, then push it back as far as possible without allowing it to
make contact with the child seat.
(5) Forward-facing child seat; position the seatback of the child seat in contact with the seatback of the vehicle seat. Adjust the
height of the headrest or remove it if necessary; do not push the seat in front of the child more than halfway back on its runners
and do not recline the seatback more than 25°.
