Suitability Of Passenger Seats For i-Size
Child Restraint System Use
The rear outboard seats of the vehicle are type-approved
to house the state-of-the-art i-Size child restraint systems.
These child restraint systems, built and type-approved
according to the i-Size (ECE R129) standard, ensure better
safety conditions to carry children on board a vehicle:

The child must be transported rearward facing until
15 months;

Child restraint system protection is increased in the
event of a side collision;

The use of the ISOFIX system is promoted to avoid
faulty installation of the child restraint system;

Efficiency in the choice of the child restraint system,
which isn't made according to weight anymore but
according to the child's height, is increased; and
 Compatibility between the vehicle seats and the child
restraint systems is better: the i-Size child restraint
systems can be considered as "Super ISOFIX"; this
means that they can be perfectly fitted in
type-approved i-Size seats, but can also be fitted in
ISOFIX (ECE R44) type-approved seats.
NOTE:
The vehicle seats, i-Size type-approved, are marked by the
symbol shown in Figure XX.

WARNING!
 An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to
increased head motion and possible injury to the
child. Use only the anchorage position directly behind
the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether
strap.

If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat,
make sure the tether strap does not slip into the
opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack
in the strap.
WARNING!
The child restraint owner's manual provides
instructions for installing the child restraint using the
seat belt. Read and follow these instructions to install
the child seat properly.
