1.17
For safety reasons, always wear your
seat belt when travelling in your vehi-
cle. You must also comply with the leg-
islation of your country.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belts to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving
position
– Sit well back in your seat. This is essential to ensure your back is po-
sitioned correctly;
– adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to fully de-
press the pedals.
Incorrectly adjusted or twisted seat belts may cause injuries in the eve\
nt
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person, whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much pressure on the abdomen, but do no\
t allow
any slack.
SEAT BELTS (1/3)
1
Driver’s side seat belt
Slip your right shoulder under the belt 1.
Do not use the driver’s side
support belt on its own. This
belt is designed to comple-
ment the action of the seat
belt.

2
To avoid hampering the
proper operation of the side
support belt, make sure
nothing is positioned be-
tween the back 2 of the front seat
and the belt 1 . Risk of injury in the
event of an accident.

1.19
SEAT BELTS (3/3)
– No modification may be made to the component parts of the originally fit\
ted restraint system: belts, seats and their
mountings. For special operations (e.g.: fitting booster seats), pleas\
e contact an authorised dealer.
– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes peg\
s, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too
loosely may cause injury in the event of an accident.
– Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.
– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby o\
r child on your lap with your seat belt around them.
– The belt should never be twisted.
– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if neces\
sary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as they show any signs of wear.
– Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
– Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch\
as they could prevent it from being properly se- cured.
– Make sure the seat belt catch is properly positioned (it should not be \
hidden away, crushed or flattened by people or ob- jects).

1.24
CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use a booster seat and ensure you use
it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph
(50 km/h) is the same as fall-
ing a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without
a restraint is the equivalent of allow-
ing him or her to play on a fourth-
floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved
in a road accident, replace the
booster seat and have the seat belts
checked.Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk of injury, such
as by starting the engine or activat-
ing equipment.
Risk of serious injury.
Driver’s responsibility
Never use the storage
space as a booster seat for
a child or a pet. Otherwise,
this could place your child or pet in
danger, or endanger the driver, in
the event of hard braking or impact.
Risk of death or serious injuries.

1.25
CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)
Use
Only a booster seat should be used.
The level of protection offered by the
booster seat depends on its ability to
restrain your child and on its installa-
tion. Incorrect installation compromises
the protection it offers the child in the
event of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a booster seat,
check that it complies with the regula-
tions for your country and that it can be
fitted in your vehicle. Consult an autho-
rised dealer to find out which booster
seats are recommended for your vehi-
cle.
Before fitting a booster seat, read the
manual and follow its instructions. If you
experience any difficulties during instal-
lation, contact the equipment manu-
facturer. Keep the instructions with the
booster seat.
Never leave a child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is
always strapped in and that
the belt is correctly set and adjusted.
Never allow your child to stick their
head out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct
position for the entire journey, espe-
cially if asleep.
Set a good example by always fas-
tening your seat belt and teaching
your child:
– to strap themselves in correctly;
– to always get in and out of the car at the kerb, away from busy traf-
fic.
Do not use a second-hand child
seat or one without an instruction
manual.
Check that there are no objects in
the vicinity of the child seat which
could impede its operation.

1.26
CHILD SAFETY: booster seat
Only a booster seat should be used.
Booster cushions
From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can
travel using a booster seat, which will
enable the seat belt to be adapted
to suit his/her size and shape. The
booster seat cushion must be fitted with
guides to position the seat belt on the
child’s thighs rather than the stomach.
It is recommended that you use a seat-
back fitted with a belt strap guide which
can be adjusted in terms of height to
position the seat belt in the centre of the
shoulder. It must never rest on the neck
or on the arm.
Choose a bucket type seat for optimum
side protection.
Driver’s responsibility
Never use the storage
space as a booster seat for
a child or a pet. Otherwise,
this could place your child or pet in
danger, or endanger the driver, in
the event of hard braking or impact.
Risk of death or serious injuries.

1.27
CHILD SAFETY: attaching a booster seat
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to
ensure that it is effective in the event of
harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated by
the booster seat manufacturer are re-
spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor-
rectly fastened by pulling it up, then
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the
booster seat.
Check that the booster seat is correctly
held by moving it from side to side and
back to front: the booster seat should
remain firmly fixed in place.
Check that the booster seat has not
been installed at an angle.
No modifications may be
made to the component
parts of the restraint system
originally fitted: belts, seats
and their mountings.
The seat belt must never
be twisted or the tension
relieved. Never pass the
shoulder strap under the
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate nor-
mally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved dealer. Do not
use this seat until the seat belt has
been repaired.
Do not use the booster seat
if it risks loosening the seat
belt restraining it: the base
of the booster seat must not
rest on the buckle and/or catch of
the seat belt.

1.28
CHILD SAFETY: installing a booster seat (1/3)
Check that when installing
the booster seat in the vehi-
cle, it is not at risk of coming
loose from its base.
Always attach the booster seat to
the vehicle even if it is not in use so
that it does not come loose under
hard braking or upon impact.
Make sure that the booster
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.
In the rear seat
For child safety, move the front seat
as far forward as possible to install a
booster seat, then move it back as far
as it will go, without allowing it to come
into contact with the child.
Check that the booster seat is resting
against the back of the vehicle seat.

1.29
² Seat not suitable for fitting child
seats.
 Seat which only allows a stand-
ardised “Universal” booster seat to be
installed using a seat belt.
Using a child safety system
which is not approved for
this vehicle will not correctly
protect the baby or child.
They risk serious or even fatal injury.
