Below is a summary of the rules
of safety to be followed for carry-
ing children:
1) Child restraint system should be
fitted on the rear seat as this is the
most protected area in the car in the
event of a crash.
4) Always check the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling the web-
bing.
5) Only one child is to be strapped
to each retaining system.
6) Always check the seat belts do
not fit around the child’s throat.
7) While travelling do not let the
child sit incorrectly or release the
belts.
8) Passengers should never carry
children on their laps. No-one, how-
ever strong they are, can hold a child
in the event of a crash.
9) In case of an accident, replace
the seat with a new one.
PRESETTING FOR MOUNTING
THE “ISOFIX TYPE” CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
THESIS is preset for mounting the
Isofix type child restraint system, a
new European standardised system
for transporting children. Isofix type
child restraint system is an addition-
al option that does not prevent from
using traditional child restraint sys-
tems. Isofix type child's seat covers
three weight groups:
0, 0+ and 1 .
Due to its different anchoring sys-
tem, the Isofix type child's seat shall
be anchored using the proper metal
brackets set between rear seat back
and cushion, shown in
figures 81
and 82 .
It is possible to mount both the tra-
ditional child restraint system and
the Isofix type one. Max. two Isofix
type child's seats can be mounted on
the rear seat using the proper cou-
plings.
On the front passenger seat it is
possible to mount only traditional
child's seats.
Children must never be
seated in the front pas-
senger seat in cars with
passenger’s front airbag.
2) In case of passenger airbag
deactivation check that instrument
panel warning light
F
is on to
make sure that deactivation has
actually taken place .
3) Follow the instructions for fas-
tening the specific child restraint
system you are using which must be
provided by the manufacturer. Keep
the child restraint system installa-
tion instructions with the car papers
and with this handbook. Never use a
child restraint system without the
installation instructions.
