To disengage “All Weather” mode and return to “Normal”, carry
out the same procedure described for“Dynamic” mode, moving
lever A-fig. 70 to “a”. IMPORTANT NOTES

switched off, the next time it is started “Normal” mode is au-
tomatically selected. If, however, “All Weather” or “Normal”,
was engaged when the engine was switched off, the selected
mode is maintained the next time it is started.
❍“Dynamic” mode cannot be engaged at speeds of above
110 km/h.
❍In the event of system failure or a fault with lever A-fig. 70,
no driving modes can be selected. The display will show a
warning message.

FITTING “UNIVERSAL”
CHILD SEAT (with seat belts)
GROUP 0 and 0+ fig. 8
Children weighing up to 13 kg must be carried in cradle seats fac-
ing backwards, which by supporting the head, do not induce stress
on the neck in the event of sharp deceleration. The cradle is re-
strained by the car seat belts, as shown in the diagram and in
turn it must restrain the child with its own belts.
fig. 8A0J0097mfig. 9A0J0098m
The diagrams are indicative and provided for as-
sembly purposes only. Refer to the instructions sup-
plied with the child seat during assembly.
GROUP 1 fig. 9
Children from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight can be carried facing for-
wards if the child seat is fitted with a front cushion. Some types
of child seat have a front cushion through which the vehicle seat
belt restrains the child and the seat together.

136SAFETY
GROUP 2 fig. 10
Children from 15 to 25 kg can be secured using the car seat belts
directly. The child seat is only needed to position the child correct-
ly with respect to the belts so that the diagonal section crosses
the child’s chest and never the neck and is snug on the hips, not
the abdomen.
GROUP 3 fig. 11
For children from 22 kg to 36 kg the child’s chest is so small that
a spacing seat back is no longer required. Figure 11 shows prop-
er child seat positioning on the rear seat.
fig. 10A0J0099mfig. 11A0J0100m
The diagrams are indicative and provided for as-
sembly purposes only. Refer to the instructions sup-
plied with the child seat when fitting.
Some child restraint systems for weight groups 0
and 1 have a rear attachment and seat belts for
securing the child. Due to their weight, they may
be dangerous if incorrectly mounted (e.g. if fastened to
the car seat belts with a cushion in between). Follow the
assembly instructions carefully.
