Below is a summary of the safety rules to
be followed for carrying children.
❒Install the child seats on the rear seat,
which is the most protected position in
the event of an accident.
❒If the passenger’s airbag is deactivated,
always check the warning light
“on the
instrument panel to make sure that it
has actually been deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the instructions sup-
plied with the child restraint system
which are mandatory by law. Keep the
instructions in the vehicle along with
the other papers and this handbook. Do
not use child seats without instructions.❒Always check the seat belt is well fa-
stened by pulling the belt.
❒Only one child is to be strapped to ea-
ch 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.
❒Never carry children on your lap, even
newborns. No-one can hold a child in
the event of an accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace the
child’s seat with a new one.
Do not arrange child seats on
the front seat in vehicles fit-
ted with a passenger’s airbag. Chil-
dren must never travel on the front
seat.

Provision has been made on the vehicle
for mounting a Universal Isofix child re-
straint system, a new European standar-
dised system for carrying children safely.
Isofix systems can be mounted simulta-
neously with a traditional restraint system.
An example of child seat is shown in fig.
11. The Universal Isofix child seat covers
weight group: 1.
The other weight groups are covered by
specific Isofix child seats, which can be
used only if specifically designed, tested
and type-approved for this vehicle (see
