Below is a summary of the safety rules to be

followed when carrying children:

1) The recommended position for installing child seats is

on the rear seat, as it is the most protected area in the

event of a crash.

2) When disengaging the passenger airbag, always check

the amber warning light on the instrument panel is per-

manently on to make sure that the airbag has actually been

deactivated.

3) Carefully follow the instructions that came with the

child seat, which the manufacturer must supply by law.

Keep the instructions in the car along with the other doc-

uments and this handbook. Do not use second hand child

seats without instructions.

4) Always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling

on it.

5) Only one child is to be strapped into each retaining sys-

tem; never carry two children using one child seat.

6) Always check the seat belts do not rest on the child’s

neck.

7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or

release the belts.

8) Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No

one, however strong, can hold a child in the event of an

accident.

9) In the event of an accident, replace the child seat with

a new one.

Do not place a child seat facing backwards

on the front seat if the passenger side

airbag is enabled. Deployment of the airbag in an

accident could cause fatal injuries to the baby re-

gardless of the severity of the collision. It is ad-

visable to always carry children in a child seat on

the rear seat, which is the most protected posi-

tion in the event of a collision.

WARNING

“UNIVERSAL ISOFIX”

CHILD RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY

SETUP

The car is provisioned for a Universal Isofix child restraint,

a new European standardised system for carrying children

safely. An example of such a seat is shown in fig. 133. The

Universal Isofix child seat covers weight group 1.

Due to its different attachment system, the Universal Isofix

child seat must be anchored to the special low metal rings

A-fig. 134, located between the backrest and rear cushion.

The upper belt (provided with the child seat) must be then

secured to ring B-fig. 135 located on the back of the back-

rest at child seat level. It is possible to have a mixed as-

sembly of the traditional child seats and the Universal Isofix

ones.

Remember that, in the case of Universal Isofix child seats,

you can use all those seats bearing the marking ECE R44/03

Universal Isofix.
