When the child seat is not
used, remove it from the
vehicle or fasten it using
the seat belt, in order to prevent it
from being ejected out of the vehicle
in the event of an accident. Never
leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if they are secured and
seated in their child seat. Unattended
children in a child seat may use some
of the vehicle equipment and cause
accidents and/or serious personal
injuries.
Children whose weight/height are
below the minimum limits established
by the manufacturer of the child
restraint systems must use the
standard seat belts. Adjust the seat
belt in a diagonal position, across
your chest and on your shoulder, and
not on your neck or face. Starting
from a weight of approximately 41
lbs (18.6 kg), it may be necessary to
add a booster seat to obtain a correct
position for fitting the seat belt, until
the children reach a sufficient height
to have an abdominal/diagonal seat
belt suitably fitted without needing
a rise.
Below is a summary of the safety
regulations applying to the transport
of children:
We recommend that you always carry
children in the specific restraining
systems installed in the rear outer
seats, as this is usually the best place
in the event of a collision.
Always follow strictly the instructions
that the manufacturer provides with
the seat.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle
together with the documents and this
manual. Do not use a seat which does
not have any instructions for use.
WARNING: We recommend that you
choose the seat that best suits the
shape of your vehicle’s seat and that
you try to install the seat before
purchasing it.
Always pull on the seat belt to check
that it is locked in place.
All restraint system must be used by a
single passenger only: never carry two
children in the same seat.
Always check that the seat belts are
not resting against the child’s neck.
Always drive slowly and
carefully when carrying
a child. Hard acceleration
due to sport-style driving can be
dangerous for children, even if no
crash occurs.
Even with advanced airbags,
the rear seat is generally the
safest location for children.
Whenever possible, always place
children in the rear seats.
