The seats, illustrated below, are fitted with
regulation ISOFIX mountings:
ISOFIX mountings
- two rings A, located between the vehicle
seat backrest and cushion, indicated by a
marking,
There are three rings for each seat:
-
a r
ing B
, behind the seat and identified by a
marking, referred to as the TOP TETHER ,
for fixing the upper strap.
This arrangement reduces forward tipping of
the child seat in the event of a front impact.
This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured to the two rings A .
Some seats also have a upper strap , which is
attached to ring B .
To secure the child seat at the TOP TETHER :
F r emove and stow the head restraint before
installing the child seat on the seat (refit it
once the child seat has been removed),
F

p
ass the upper strap of the child seat behind
the seat backrest, centring it between the
apertures of the head restraint rods, When fitting an ISOFIX child seat to the
left-hand rear position of the bench seat,
before fitting the seat, first move the
centre rear seat belt towards the middle
of the vehicle, so as to avoid inter ference
with the operation of the seat belt.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Strictly follow the fitting instructions
provided in the user guide supplied with
the child seat.
For information on the possibilities for
installing ISOFIX child seats in your
vehicle, refer to the summary table.

Advice
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it for wards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:
-
a "
rear ward facing" child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
"forward facing".
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position.
For optimal installation of the "forward facing"
child seat, verify that its backrest is as close
as possible to the backrest of the vehicle
seat, if possible in contact with it. The head restraint must be removed
before installing a child seat with a
backrest on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when
the child seat is removed.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
a c hild or children alone and unattended in
a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
-

t
he keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of the
sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
Children in front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the front passenger airbag when a
"rear ward facing" child seat is installed on the
front passenger seat.
Other wise, there is a risk of serious or fatal
injury to the child if the airbag is deployed.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
We recommend using a booster seat with
a backrest equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
