Safety
●
To correctly use a child seat in the back, the
front backrest must be adjusted so that there is
no contact with the child seat in the back if it is
rear facing. In the case of front facing restraint
systems, the front backrest must be adjusted so
that there is no contact with the child's feet.
●
For a correct assembly of the child's seat on
the rear seats, adjust or dismount the headrest,
in order to prevent contact with the seat.
●
If a semi-universal type seat is to be installed,
in which the method of attachment to the car
is through the seat belt and support bracket,
it should never be installed in the central rear
seat as the ground clearance is lower than in
other places and the support bracket will not
allow the seat to remain suciently stable.
Important information about the front pas-
senger airbag
A sticker with important information about the
passenger airbag is located on the passenger's
sunshade blind and/or on the passenger side
door frame ›››Fig.38.
Read and always observe the safety informa-
tion included in the following chapters:
●
Safety distance with respect to the passen-
ger airbag ›››page54.
●
Objects between the passenger and the pas-
senger side airbag ››› in Front airbags on
page57.
The passenger side front airbag, when enabled,
is a serious risk for a rear-facing child since the
airbag can strike the seat with such force that it
can cause serious or fatal injuries. Children up
to 12 years old should always travel on the rear
seat.
Therefore we strongly recommend that you
transport children on the rear seats. This is the
safest location in the vehicle. Alternatively, the
front passenger airbag can be disabled with a
key-operated switch ›››page57. When trans-
porting children, use a child seat suitable for the
age and size of each child ›››page62.
WARNING
●
If a child seat is secured to the front pas-
senger seat, the risk to the child of sustaining
critical or fatal injuries in the event of an ac-
cident increases.
●
An inflating front passenger airbag can
strike the rear-facing child seat and throw it
with great force against the door, the roof or
the backrest.
●
Never install a rear-facing child seat on the
front passenger seat unless the front pas-
senger airbag has been disabled. Risk of po-
tentially fatal injuries to the child! However, if
necessary, the front passenger airbag must
be deactivated›››page57.
●
For those vehicles that do not include a key
lock switch to deactivate the airbag, the ve-
hicle must be taken to a technical service. Do
not forget to reconnect the airbag when an
adult wants to sit in the front passenger seat.
●
Never allow a child to be transported in a
vehicle without being properly secured, or
to stand up or kneel on a seat while travel-
ling. In an accident, the child could be flung
through the vehicle, causing possibly fatal
injuries to themselves and to the other vehi-
cle occupants.
●
Never leave a child alone in the child seat
or in the vehicle.
●
Children who are less than 1.50 m tall must
not wear a normal seat belt without a child
seat, as this could cause injuries to the ab-
dominal and neck areas during a sudden
braking manoeuvre or in an accident.
●
When a child seat is mounted in the rear
seats, the door's child lock should be activa-
ted ›››page109.
Attachment systems
Depending on the country, dierent attach-
ment systems are used for safely installing child
seats.
