L5 - "KLIPPAN Optima": installed using
a three-point seat belt.
From the age of 6 years (approxi-
mately 22 kg), the booster is used
on its own. Recommendations
For optimum installation of a for-
wards facing child seat, check that
the back of the child seat is resting
against the back of the vehicle's seat
correctly and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfort.
If it is necessary to remove the
head restraint, as in the case of the
"RECARO Start", "KLIPPAN Optima"
and "KIDDY Life" child seats (over
6 years of age), ensure that the
head restraint is securely stored or
attached so that it cannot act as
a projectile in the event of sharp
braking.
Disarm the passenger air bag*
when installing a "rearwards fac-
ing" child seat on the front pas-
senger seat. Otherwise, the child
would risk being seriously injured
or killed were the air bag to inlate.
Never leave one or more chil-
dren alone and unsupervised
in a vehicle.
Never leave a child or an
animal in a vehicle which is exposed
to the sun and has the windows
closed.
To protect your young children from
the sun, it blinds on the rear windows.
Never leave the keys within reach of
children inside the vehicle.
Observe strictly the recommenda-
tions for assembling and securing
the child seat as shown in the child
seat instructions.
To prevent the doors from opening
accidentally, use the child lock*.
Also, do not open the windows more
than a third*.
* According to model.
Groups 2 and 3: from 15 to 36 kg
L4 - "RECARO Start'': installed using
a three-point seat belt.

slide control 1 upwards. Detection of fastening of the front
seat belts
When the ignition is switched on
,
if a front passenger has not fastened
his seat belt and if the vehicle speed
is below 13 mph (20 km/h) , you are
warned by lighting of the seat belt
warning light .
The warning light switches off when
the seat belt(s) concerned is(are)
fastened.
- If the vehicle speed is above
13 mph (20 km/h) , you are warned
by lashing of the seat belt warning
light , an audible signal and a mes-
sage on the multifunction screen
locating the unfastened seat belt(s).
Note: a bag or an animal placed on
the front passenger seat may trigger
the lighting of the warning light.
The audible signal ceases and the
warning light switches off when the
seat belt concerned is fastened.
After two minutes without any action
on the seat belts, the lashing warning
light remains on permanently and the
audible signal ceases. All of the warn-
ings cease when a door is opened or
when the engine is switched off.
Front seat belts with
pre-tensioner and force limiter
In the event of a serious impact, the
pre-tensioning system instantly tight-
ens the seat belts irmly against the
bodies of the occupants.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
armed when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pres-
sure of the seat belt on the body
of the occupant in the event of an
accident.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats are all itted with a
three-point inertia reel seat belt.
The rear side seat belts have a force
limiter and may be itted with a pre-
tensioning inertia reel.
Before folding the seat back, pull the
strap and insert the seat belt buckle
into the clasp. This precaution will
ensure that each seat belt is in place
when the rear seats are lifted again.
