opening positions.
Do not open the sunroof if
there is snow or ice on it: it

FITTING THE ISOFIX TYPE SEAT
Groups 0 and 0+
For children of the 0, 0+ weight group (ba-
bies up to 13 kg), the child’s seat is facing
backwards and the child is restrained by
the child’s seat belts D-fig. 15.
As the child grows, passing to weight
group 1 (9-18 kg) refit it facing forwards
following the instructions provided with
the child restraint system.For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒move the rear sliding seat fully back-
wards with the seat back at 4thposition,
as shown in fig. 16.
❒check whether the release lever B-
fig. 15is at rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets A, then po-
sition the child restraint system with
the fastening devices Caligned with the
brackets;
❒push the child restraint system until
hearing locking clicks;
❒check proper locking by moving the
child’s seat with force: the built-in safe-
ty mechanism actually inhibits improp-
er coupling with only one coupling
locked.
fig. 16F0C0312m
fig. 15F0C0268m
In case of rear fixed seat and
if the Isofix type restraint
system is set facing backwards, the
passenger’s seat will have to be pulled
back until it touches the seat restraint
system back. In case of rear sliding
seat, move the front seat forward to
