CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
❒
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, howev-
er 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.
Below is a summary of the rules
of safety to be followed for car-
rying children:
❒
if the passenger’s air bag is deacti-
vated
always
check that the
warning light
F
on the front ceil-
ing light panel is glowing steadily to
indicate that the air bag has been
deactivated;
❒
attain to the instructions for fasten-
ing the specific child restraint system
which you are using. These instruc-
tions must be provided by the man-
ufacturer. Keep the child restraint sys-
tem installation instructions with the
car documents and this Handbook.
Never use a child restraint system
without installation instructions;
❒
always check the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling the webbing;
❒
only one child is to be strapped to
each retaining system;
FRONT AIR BAGS
The car is fitted with front multistage air
bags (“Smart bags”) for the driver and
the passenger and with knees air bag
for the driver and for the passenger
(where provided).
“SMART BAG” SYSTEM
(FRONT MULTISTAGE AIR
BAGS)
The front air bags (driver and passen-
ger) and knees air bags (driver and pas-
senger) have been designed to protect
the occupants in the event of head-on
crashes of medium-high severity, by plac-
ing cushions between the occupant and
the steering wheel or dashboard.
In case of crash, an electronic control
unit, when required, triggers the infla-
tion of the cushions that inflate, as a pro-
tection, between the body of the front
occupants and the structure that could
cause injuries. Immediately after, the
cushions deflate.
