CHILD SAFETY(continued)
Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) and
category 3 (22 to 36 kg)
To correctly secure the pelvis of a
child of up to 12 years old, smaller
than 1.50 m and weighing less than
36 kg, it is preferable to use child
seats that can be combined with
three-point seat belts. This is a
booster seat (figure 3) with belt
guides to ensure that the belt will be
worn flat over the thighs of the
child.A booster seat with a
height-adjustable seatback and a
belt guide are recommended as this
will allow the belt to be worn as
close to the base of the neck as
possible but not on it.
Place the head rest in the top
position to allow you to press the
seat back of the child seat firmly
against the vehicle seatback.
If a booster seat without a seatback
is used, the vehicle's headrest will
have to be adjusted to suit the
child's stature; the upper edge of the
headrest must be at the same height
as the top of the child's head and
should never be lower than in line
with the child's eyes.
The standard classifies the
restraints in five categories:Category 0 : from 0 to 10 kg (0 to 22 lbs)
Category0+:from0to13kg(0to28lbs)
Category 1 : from 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs)
Category 2 : from 15 to 25 kg (33 to 55 lbs)
Category 3 : from 22 to 36 kg (48 to 80 lbs)
We recommend that you remove
the headrest and put it in the
luggage compartment, to facilitate
fitting certain types of child seat.

You should reactivate the airbag as
soon as you remove the child seat
from the front passenger seat to
ensure the protection of your front
passenger in the event of an impact.

the ignition and insert the ignition
key into lock1. The key then turns
automatically to theONposition.

supplementary methods of
restraint in addition to the seat
belt in the front passenger seat
and the indicator light
will come on to warn you.

CHILD SAFETY
•No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their
mountings) fitted originally.
• The fitting instructions provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system should be followed carefully.
• Avoid wearing bulky clothing and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint system.
• The seat belt on the vehicle must be taut so that the child’s seat is held in position securely. Check the tension
regularly.
• Never wear the belt under the arm or behind the back.
• The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child’s stature.
• Never allow your child to stand or kneel on the seat when the vehicle is moving.
• Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when he or she is asleep.
• Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident occurs, it may
become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.
• Following a serious accident, have an inspection made of the seat belts and restraint systems fitted at the time.
• Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if he or she is in a child seat.
• Activate the rear door locks (if your vehicle is equipped with these).
• Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where there is traffic.
• Set your children a good example - always wear your seat belt.
