Main safety rules to be followed
when carrying children
❒
Install the child seats on the rear seat, which is the most protected
position in the event of an accident;
❒
if the front passenger airbag is deactivated always check the
warning light on the instrument panel to make sure that it has
actually been deactivated.
❒
Follow the instructions supplied with the child seat itself, which the
manufacturer must provide. Keep the instructions in the car along
with the other documents and this handbook. Do not use child seats
without instructions;
❒
always check that the seat belt is well fastened by pulling on it;
❒
only one child is to be strapped into each retaining system; never
carry two children using one child seat;
❒
always check that the belts do not rest on the child’s neck;
❒
while travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or release the
belts;
❒
never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-one could
restrain them in the event of an accident;
❒
in the event of an accident, replace the child seat with a new one.
