Having the seat backrest in a reclined
position could increase the risk of
serious injury.
In the event of an accident, you could
be thrown against the belt and suffer
injuries to your elbow or other serious
or fatal injuries.
Having the seat backrest in a reclined
position also increases the risk of being
thrown forward, slipping under the
lap belt, giving rise to serious internal
injuries. The seat backrest must be in a vertical
position to provide effective protection
while the vehicle is moving.
It is essential to sit fully down in the seat
so that the lap seat belt is able to work
effectively in the event of an accident.
Driving with a seat in the "sleeping"
position is prohibited.
Adjust the seat to your wishes with
the backrest reclined no more than
necessary for comfort.
After adjustment, shake the seat
backrest slightly to ensure that it has
locked into position.

Seat belts
All persons carried in your E-MEHARI
must always wear a seat belt.Never leave children unsupervised in
the vehicle playing with the seat belts.
Most current seat belts have an
automatic locking reel (ALR).
If a seat belt wrapped around a child's
elbow were to retract or lock, the child
could be seriously injured or killed.
This can happen even with the vehicle
stationary.

General points on child
seats
Infants and children must be given
special protection.
The vehicle's seat belts are not suitable
for their size.
The diagonal part of the seat belt can
pass too close to their head or their
elbow, which can cause serious lesions
and serious injuries in the event of
sudden braking or an accident.
If the lap part of the seat belt is not
suitable for the size of your children, it
can introduce the risk of being thrown
for ward and so cause serious or fatal
injuries in the event of sudden braking
or an accident.
Always use safety restraint systems
appropriate for the size of your
children so as to provide the highest
level of safety for them when the vehicle
is moving.

ISOFIX mountings (child
seat s)*
ISOFIX is an ISO standard for child seat
mountings (ISO standard 13216 -1: 1999).
This system avoids the use of the vehicle's seat
belts for securing the child seat: two latches on
the child seat engage on two anchorage points
(1) positioned between the seat cushion and
backrest at the right and left seating positions
of the bench rear seat of your E-MEHARI.
(1) Locations of ISOFIX mountings.
(1) Location of the Top Tether ring for fixing the
upper strap. The ISOFIX standard is overseen by the
International Standards Organisation.
Always use child seats compatible with
this standard when using the dedicated
mounting points.
Using a child seat that is not compatible
with the ISOFIX standard could
increase the risk of accident and injury
for the child, as well as for the other
occupants of the vehicle.
The aim of the ISOFIX system is to facilitate
the installation of a child seat and its transfer
to another vehicle, while avoiding the problems
inherent in fixing systems that use the vehicle's
seat belts.
Your E-MEHARI is fitted with ISOFIX
mountings at the left and right seating positions
of the bench rear seat.
This system simplifies the installation and fixing
of a child seat while improving the safety of the
installation at the same time.

to each country. Refer to the legislation in
force in your country.

Failure to observe the instructions and
warnings related to the installation of
a child seat or child restraint system
would expose the child and the other
occupants of the vehicle to the risk of
serious injury in the event of a collision
or sudden braking.
Always use child seats that meet
the European standards and follow
scrupulously the installation and fixing
instructions provided with the child seat.
Before installing a child seat, check that
there is nothing that might inter fere with
its fixing to the two mounting points.
You will not be able to secure a child
seat to the two mounting points if they
are not clear of obstruction.A child restraint system in a vehicle
parked in the sun can become very hot.
Always check the sur face of the child
seat before placing the child in it, to
avoid any risk of injury.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
compromises the protection and safety
of the child and the occupants of the
vehicle in the event of a collision.
