Fabric upholstery of your Fiat
Ducato is purpose-made to
withstand common wear re-
sulting from normal use of the
vehicle. It is however absolutely neces-
sary to prevent hard and/or prolonged
scratching/scraping caused by clothing
accessories like metallic buckles, studs,
“Velcro” fixings, etc. that stressing lo-
cally the fabric could break yarns and
damage the upholstery as a conse-
quence.

Seats exist which are suitable for covering weight groups 0 and 1 with a rear connection to the vehicle belts and
their own belts to restrain the child. Due to their size, they can be dangerous if installed incorrectly fastened to the
vehicle belts with a cushion. Carefully follow the instructions for installation provided with the seat.
GROUP 2
Starting from 15 kg to 25 kg in weight, children may be restrained directly by the vehicle belts fig. 9. The only function of the seat
is to position the child correctly in relation to the belts, so that the diagonal part adheres to the chest and not to the neck and that
the horizontal part clings to the child’s pelvis and not the abdomen.
