“ISOFIX” CHILD RESTRAINT
ASSEMBLY SETUP
Provision has been made on the car to mount a Universal Isofix
child restraint system, a new European standardised system for car-
rying children safely.
It is possible to mount at the same time both the traditional re-
straint system and the Isofix one. Fig. 12 shows a child’s seat by
way of example. The Universal Isofix child’s seat covers weight
group: 1.
Other weight groups are covered by a specific Isofix child seat
that can be used only if specifically designed, tested and approved
for his vehicle (see the list of vehicles accompanying the child seat).
