CHILD SAFETY
  INSTALLING CHILD SEATS WITH A STAY 
 
Precautions must be taken when installing a child seat with a stay (or drop down leg). In particular, take care when there is a 
storage compartment present in the rear footwells. 
  Do not place the stay on the 
storage compartment cover, 
it could break in a serious im-
pact. Where the range of adjustment 
for the stay allows, we suggest two 
other possibilities for installation. 
   
At the bottom of the storage 
compartment 
  If the stay is long enough, you can place 
it in contact with the bottom of the stor-
age compartment. Remove all objects 
before installing the stay.  
 
 
Outside the storage 
compartment area 
  One other possibility, where the stay is 
long enough and can be inclined suffi -
ciently (while observing the recommen-
dations in the fi tting instructions for the 
child seat), is to position the stay so that 
it is in contact with the fl oor away from 
the storage compartment. Remember 
to use the adjustment of the seat posi-
tion to obtain a satisfactory position for 
the stay which is away from the storage 
compartment. 
   
If you cannot fi t the stay in 
the way described, we recom-
mend that you do not fi t a child 
seat with a stay in this position.
