mountings . These are 2 rings loca-
ted between the seat back and seatcushion of your vehicle. The ISOFIX child seats are fitted
with 2 locks which fit onto these rings. Incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the protection of the child in the event ofa collision. This ISOFIX mounting system guarantees reliable, safe and fastinstallation of the child seat in yourvehicle.

the slack in relation to the child's body to a minimum , even
for short journeys.
Special points relating to thetransportation of children on thefront passenger seat* Children under the age of 10 must not travel in the forwards facingposition, unless the rear seats arealready occupied by other childrenor the rear seats cannot be used(absent or folded). In this case,adjust the front passenger seat tothe intermediate longitudinal posi-tion and leave the passenger air bagarmed. The transportation of children in the rearwards facing position is permit-ted. In this position, it is essential todisarm the passenger air bag.Otherwise, the child would risk beingkilled or seriously injured if the airbag were to inflate.
