Child safety
Suitable child seats
The chi l
d seat must be authorised by the manufacturer especially for use on
a front passenger seat with a frontal or side airbag.
If the front passenger seat is equipped with retaining rings, the child seat
can be secured using the approved retaining system provided it is approved
for this type of vehicle in accordance with current regulations in the country
in question.
Universal seats for children in groups 0, 0+, 1, 2 or 3 according to the ECE-
R 44 regulation. WARNING
If a child seat is mounted on the front passenger seat, the risk of the
chi l
d sustaining severe or fatal injuries in the event of an accident increa-
ses. Rear-facing child seats must never be mounted on the front passen-
ger seat when the front passenger airbag is enabled. This is life-threaten-
ing to the child should the frontal airbag deploy, as the child seat would
be struck by the inflated airbag and thrown against the backrest. WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, a child must be transported in a rear-fac-
ing c hi
ld seat on the front passenger seat, strictly observe the following:
● Always disable the front passenger airbag and leave it disabled.
● The child seat must be approved by the manufacturer for use on a
front p
assenger seat with frontal and side airbag.
● Follow the installation instructions of the child seat manufacturer and
obser
ve the warnings.
● Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and adjust it to
its highe
st position to keep as far away as possible from the frontal air-
bag. WARNING (Continued)
● Move the backrest to the upright position.
● The se
at
belt height adjustment must be as high as possible.
● Children must always be protected with an approved child restraint
syst
em suited to their height and weight.
Use of the child seat on the rear seat If a child seat is mounted on the rear seat, adapt the position of the front
pa
s
senger seat so that the child has enough space. Therefore, adapt the
front passenger seat to the size of the child seat and the height of the child.
Ensure the passenger is in the correct position ⇒ page 10.
Move the second and third row of seats fully back and lock them. Place the
seat backs in a vertical position and fold the armrests down.
ISOFIX child seats approved for rear seats
The rear seats are suitable for child seats with the ISOFIX system specially
designed for this type of vehicle in accordance with regulation ECE-R 44.
ISOFIX child seats are divided into “specific categories for the vehicle”,
“limited” or “semi-universal”.
Child seat manufacturers supply a list of vehicles with each ISOFIX seat,
which includes the models for which the ISOFIX child seat in question is ap-
proved. If the vehicle is included in the manufacturer's list and the ISOFIX
child seat belongs to a seat category included in the list, then it can be
used in your vehicle. If necessary, contact the child seat manufacturer for an
updated list of vehicles. Safety First Operating instructions Practical tips Technical Data
