CHILD SAFETY(continued)
Integrated seat mounting
system for children - Isofix
This is a new procedure for
installing a child seat. It can be used
on the two rear side seat positions.
It consists of the following
components:
• Two anchoring rings per seat
located between the seat and the
seatback.
• A special Renault child seat fitted
with two catches which hook
onto the two rings.
Only the specific Renault seat is
type approved for this vehicle.
Please contact your Renault Dealer
to purchase this seat.
This seat is used as a rear-facing
seat for children up to the age of
approximately 18 months and then
as a front-facing seat up to the age
of four. It is equipped with two
retractable catches which can be
secured with the Isofix
attachments provided for Renault
vehicles. It can also be fitted
“conventionally” in other vehicles
(without catches) using a
three-point seat belt.•Makesurethatthere
is nothing obstructing the
seat mounting mechanism
at the anchorage points
(gravel, rags, toys, etc.).
• Always remember to fasten the
seat belt on child seats for all
journeys.
