Remember that, in the event of a violent
collision, back seat passengers not
wearing seat belts represent a serious danger
not only to themselves but also to the front seat
passengers.
WARNING
Ensure that the backrest is properly
secured on both sides so that it does not
fly forwards in the event of sharp braking and
injure passengers.
WARNING
IMPORTANT After putting the seats back to their
travelling position, restore the seat belt position to
make them ready for use.
Never press button C-fig. 106 when
travelling.
WARNING
The rear seat belts must be used as shown in the
diagram in fig. 107.
IMPORTANT When the red band next to the backrest
folding levers fig. 108 disappears, it means the backrest
is properly secured.
If you can still see the red band, the backrest is not
securely fastened. When returning the backrest to its
normal position, make sure that it is correctly fastened
and you hear the lock click.

GROUP 2
Starting from 15 kg to 25 kg in weight, children may be
restrained directly using the car belts
fig. 114.
The only function of the seat is to position the child
correctly in relation to the belts, so that the diagonal
part adheres to the chest and not to the neck and that
the horizontal part clings to the child’s pelvis and not
the abdomen.GROUP 3
For children from 22 kg up to 36 kg suitable risers make
fastening the seat belt easier.
Fig. 115 shows correct child seat positioning on the rear
seat.
Children taller than 1.50 m can wear seat belts like
adults.
The figure is indicative for fitting purposes
only. Refer to the instructions supplied
with the child restraint for the fastening.
