CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat, general information (2/2)
In the rear seat
A carrycot can be installed across the
vehicle and will take up at least two
seats. Position the child with his or her
feet nearest the door.
Move the front seat as far forward as
possible to install a rear-facing child
seat, then move back the seat in front
as far as it will go, although without al-
lowing it to come into contact with the
child seat.
For the safety of the child in the for-
ward-facing position:
– move the relevant seat backwards as far as possible;
– move the seat in front of the child forwards, and set the position of the
seatback to avoid contact between
the seat and the child’s legs.
Always remove the headrest from the
rear seat used for the child seat (see
“Rear headrests” in Section 3). If nec-
essary, position the vehicle seat as far
back as possible. This must be done
before fitting the child seat.
Check that the child seat is resting
against the back of the vehicle seat.
Ensure that the child seat
or the child’s feet do not
prevent the front seat from
locking correctly. Refer to
the information on the “Front seat”
in Section 1 or “Rear seat operation”
in Section 3.
The floor of your vehicle
has storage spaces. Before
installing a child seat with
a floor support, ensure that
this seat can be correctly installed
by consulting the list of compatible
vehicles supplied with the child seat.
Risk of serious injury in the event of
sudden braking or accident.
When fitting a child seat
(Group 2 or 3 booster seat),
check that the seat belts op-
erate (wind) correctly: refer
to Section 1 “Rear seat belts”. If
necessary, adjust the position of the
vehicle seat.
For 7-seater vehicles, a
child seat with a stay should
never be installed on the
third row rear seats.
For 7-seater vehicles, the second row
rear seats must be pushed forward
before a child is seated in the third row
rear seats.
