❒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 if an accident, replace the seat
with a new one. Below is a summary of the rules of safety
to be followed for carrying children:
❒The recommended position for in-
stalling 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
always check the instrument panel
warning light
F(amber) to make
sure that it has actually been deacti-
vated.
❒
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 in-
structions with the car documents and
this Handbook. Never use a child re-
straint system without installation in-
structions.
❒Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened by pulling the webbing.
In cars fitted with passenger
air bag never place child’s re-
straint systems on the front seat since
children shall never be seated on the
front passenger seat.
