Below is a summary of the rules
of safety to be followed for
carrying children:
❒
The recommended position for in-
stalling children’s seat is on the rear
seat, as it is the most protected in
the case of a crash.
❒
If the passenger’s air bag is deacti-
vated always check the amber
warning light
F
on the cluster to
make sure that it has actually been
deactivated.
❒
Attain to the instructions for fas-
tening the specific child restraint
system which you are using. These
instructions must be provided by
the manufacturer. Keep the child
restraint system installation in-
structions with the car documents
and this Handbook. Never use a
child restraint system without in-
stallation instructions.
❒
Always check the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling the webbing.
❒
Only one child is to be strapped to
each retaining system.
❒
Always check the seat belts do not
fit around the child’s throat.
❒
While travelling, do not let the
child sit incorrectly or release the
belts.
❒
Passengers should never carry chil-
dren on their laps. No-one, however
strong they are, can hold a child in
the event of a crash.
❒
In case of an accident, replace the
seat with a new one.
PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE
“ISOFIX TYPE”
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
(where provided)
Lancia Ypsilon is created preset for
mounting the Isofix Type child re-
straint system. “Isofix” is a European
standardised system for mounting
child restraints.
Isofix Type child restraint system
covers three groups: 0, 0+ and 1.
Due to its different anchoring system,
the Isofix child’s seat shall be an-
chored just using the proper metal
brackets A-fig. 12 set between rear
seat back and cushion then, hook the
upper belt (in the upper seat pocket)
to the proper catch B-fig. 13 set on
the rear sear back.
In cars fitted with passen-
ger air bag never place
child’s restraint systems on the
front seat since children shall
never be seated on the front pas-
senger seat.
