Babies up to 13 kg must be carried fac-
ing backwards fig. 7on a cradle seat,
which, supporting the head, does not in-
duce stress on the neck in the event of
sharp deceleration.
The cradle is restrained by the car seat
belts and in turn it must restrain the child
with its own belts.
SERIOUS DANGER If it
is absolutely necessary
to carry a child on the
front passenger seat
with the cradle child’s
seat facing backwards, the
front passenger’s air bags
(front air bag, knees air bag,
where provided, and side bag
on seat), must be deactivated
using the key switch (for ver-
sions/markets, where provid-
ed). In this case it is absolute-
ly necessary to check the
warning light
Fon the front
ceiling light panel (see para-
graph “Passenger’s front air
bag”) to make sure that deac-
tivation has actually taken
place. Moreover, the front
passenger’s seat shall be ad-
justed in the most backward
position to prevent any contact
between the child’s seat and
the dashboard.
WARNING

ments are available for a safe

anchored to the proper lower metal
bracketsA-fig. 12, set on rear seat

child’s seat) shall be then secured to fas-
tenerB-fig. 13set on rear seat back-
rest at child’s seat height .
It is possible to mount both the tradi-
tional restraint system and the “Uni-
versal Isofix” one. Remember that in
case of Universal Isofix child’s seat, you
can only use all those seats approved
with the marking ECE R44/03 “Uni-
versal Isofix”.The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child
seat and the special “G 0/1” seat are
