Child safety
44Securing child seatsWays to secure a child seat
A child seat can be secured differently on the rear seat and on
the front passenger seat.You can secure a child seat to the rear seat or front passenger seat in the
following ways:•Child seats in groups 0 to 3 can be secured with a seat belt.•Child seats for groups 0, 0+ and 1 with the “ISOFIX” system can be
secured, without fastening seat belts, with the “ISOFIX” securing rings
⇒ page 44.
U: Suitable for universal approved restraining systems for use in this age category (universal retention systems are those fitted using the adult
seat belt).
UF Suitable for universal forward-facing retention systems approved for use with this age group.
*: Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible, as high as possible and always deactivate the airbag.
L: Suitable for retention systems using the “ISOFIX” anchors.
X Seat position not suitable for children in this age group.
WARNING
•When travelling, children must be secured in the vehicle with a
restraint system suitable for age, weight and size.•Never install a child seat facing backwards on the front passenger seat
unless the front passenger airbag has been disabled. This could cause fatal
injuries to the child! However, if, in exceptional cases, it is necessary to
transport a child in the front passenger seat, the front passenger airbag
⇒ page 37, “Deactivating airbags*” must always be disabled and the seat
adjusted to its highest position, where possible.•Read and always observe information and warnings concerning the use
of child seats ⇒ in “Safety notes on using child seats” on page 39.
Securing a child seat with the “ISOFIX” system
Child seats can be secured quickly, easily and safely on the
rear outer seats with the “ISOFIX” system.

Operating Instructions
Practical Tips
Technical Specifications
When removing or fitting the child seat, please be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
– Press the child seat onto the “ISOFIX” retaining rings until the
child seat can be heard to engage securely. If the child seat is
fitted with any other anti-rotation system, follow the manufac-
turer instructions carefully.
– Pull on both sides of the child seat to ensure that it is secure.Two ISOFIX retaining rings are fitted on each rear seat. In some vehicles, the
rings are secured to the seat frame and, in others, they are secured to the rear
floor. The access to the “ISOFIX” rings is between the rear seat backrest and
the seat cushioning.
Child seats with “ISOFIX” mountings are available in your Authorised Service
Centres.
WARNING
•The retaining rings are designed to only be used with “ISOFIX” child
seats.•Never secure child seats without the “ISOFIX” system, retaining belts
or objects to the fastening rings – this can result in potentially fatal injuries
to the child.•Ensure that the child seat is secured correctly to the “ISOFIX” anchor
points.
To p Te t h e r r e t a i n e r s t r a p s
Some child restraint seats have a third Top Tether anchoring
point, apart from both “ISOFIX” anchoring points, which
allow better child retention.Child seats with the Top Tether system come with a strap for securing the seat
to the vehicle anchor point, located at the back of the rear backrest.
The retainer strap is used to reduce forwards movements of the safety seat in
a crash, helping reduce the risk of injuries to the head from hitting the inside
of the vehicle.
It is foreseen that an EU Directive will introduce requirements related to the
retention of child restraint systems by means of ISOFIX and Top Tether anchor-
ages (probably compulsory for new types from 2010), which will entail
improved retention of the child restraint seat and less head movement in
case of frontal collisions.
