Owner manual

Below is a summary
of the rules of safety
to be followed for carrying children:
❒ The recommended position for installing 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 deactivated (where
required) always check the amber yellow warning
light F on the cluster to make sure that it has
actually been deactivated.
❒ Attain to the instructions for fastening the specific
child restraint system which you are using. These
instructions must be provided by the manufacturer.
Keep the child restraint system 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.
❒ 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 children 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.

WARNING
With passenger’s air bag active, never place child’s seats with the cradle facing
backwards since the air bag activation could cause to the child serious injuries,
even mortal, regardless of the seriousness of the crash that triggered it. You are
advised to carry children always with proper restraint systems on the rear seats, as
this is the most protected position in the case of a crash.
