SUITABILITY OF PASSENGER SEATS FOR CHILD SEAT USE
The car complies with the new European Directive 2000/3/EC which governs the
arrangement possibilities for child seats on the various seats of the car as shown in
the following table:
Below is a summary of the safety
rules to be followed when carrying
children:
1) The recommended position for in-
stalling 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 perma-
nently on to make sure that the airbag has
actually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions that
came with the child seat, which the man-
ufacturer must supply by law. Keep the in-
structions in the car along with the other
documents and this handbook. Do not use
second hand child seats without instruc-
tions.
4) Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened by pulling on it.
5) Only one child is to be strapped into
each retaining system; 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.
