MAIN WARNINGS TO CARRY
CHILDREN SAFELY
Install the child restraint systems
on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a
collision.
Keep children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as possible,
until 3
–
4 years old if possible.
The rear head restraint can be
removed if needed to install a child
restraint system.
The head restraint must always be
present in the vehicle and fitted if the
seat is used by an adult passenger or a
child sitting in a restraint system without
backrest.
If the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated always check the dedicated
warning light on the trim located on
the dashboard to make sure that it has
actually been deactivated.
Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint system.
Keep the instructions in the car along
with the other documents and this
handbook. Do not use second-hand child
seats without instructions.
Only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry two
children using one child restraint system.
Always check that the seat belts do
not rest on the child’s neck.
Always check that the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling on it.
While travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or behind
their back.
Never carry children on your lap, even
newborns. No-one can hold a child in the
event of a collision
If the car has been involved in a road
accident, replace the child restraint
system with a new one. In addition, and
depending on the type of child restraint
system installed, replace the ISOFIX
anchors or the seat belt with which the
child restraint system was connected.
AIR BAG
The airbag system consists of a number
of individual systems
When triggered, the airbags inflate
within milliseconds. They also deflate
so quickly that it is often unnoticeable
during the collision.
