Child safety: general information
CHILD SAFETY : general information
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys. The children being carried in your vehi- cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet fin- ished growing. The seat belt alone would not provide suitable protection. Use an approved child seat and ensure you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of
10 metres. Transporting a child without a restraint is the equivalent of allowing him or her to play on a fourth-floor balcony without railings.Never travel with a child held in your arms. In the event of an accident, you will not be able to keep hold of the child, even if you yourself are wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child seat and have the seatbelts checked.
Never leave a child unat- tended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is always strapped in and that the belt or safety harness used is correctly set and adjusted. Avoid wearing bulky clothing which could cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, espe- cially if asleep.
Set a good example by always fas- tening your seat belt and teaching your child:
– to strap themselves in correctly.
– to always get in and out of the car
at the kerb, away from busy traf- fic.
Do not use a second-hand child seat or one without an instruction manual.
Check that there are no objects in the vicinity of the child seat which could impede its operation.
To prevent the doors being opened, use the “Child safety” device (refer to the information on “Locking the doors” in Section 1).
Using a child seatThe level of protection offered by the child seat depends on its ability to re- strain your child and on its installation. Incorrect installation compromises the protection it offers the child in the event of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a child seat, check that it complies with the regulations for the country you are in and that it can be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap- proved dealer to find out which seats are recommended for your vehicle.
Before fitting a child seat, read the manual and respect its instructions. If you experience any difficulties during installation, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Keep the instructions with the seat.

Booster cushionsFrom 15 kg or 4 years, the child can travel using a booster seat, which will enable the seat belt to adapted to suit his size and shape. The booster seat cushion must be fitted with guides to po- sition the seat belt on the child’s thighs rather than the stomach. It is recom- mended that you use a seatback which can be adjusted in terms of height to position the seat belt in the centre of the shoulder. It must never rest on the neck or on the arm.Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.
Forward-facing child seatsThe child’s head and abdomen need to be protected as a priority. A forward- facing child seat which is firmly at- tached to the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact to the head. Ensure your child travels in a forward-facing seat with a harness or buckle for as long as their size permits.Choose a bucket type seat for optimum side protection.
Rear-facing child seatsA baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier than that of an adult and its neck is very fragile. Transport the child in this posi- tion as long as possible (until the age of 2 at the very least). It supports both the head and the neck.Choose a bucket type seat for best side protection and change it as soon as the child’s head is higher than the shell.

CHILD SAFETY : choosing a child seat mounting
The are two ways of attaching child seats: via the seat belt or using the ISOFIX system.
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to ensure that it is effective in the event of harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are re- spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor- rectly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by moving it from side to side and back to front: the seat should remain firmly fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been installed at an angle and that it is not resting against a window.
Attachment with the ISOFIX system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap- proved in accordance with regulation ECE-R44 in one of the three following scenarios:
– ISOFIX universal 3-point forward- facing seat
– ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat
– specific
For the latter two, check that your child seat can be installed by consulting the list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings.
Before using an ISOFIX
child seat that you pur- chased for another vehicle, check that its installation is authorised. Consult the list of vehi- cles which can be fitted with the seat with the equipment manufacturer.
No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts, ISOFIX and seats and their mountings) originally fitted.
The seat belt must never be twisted or the tension relieved. Never pass the shoulder strap under the arm or behind the back.Check that the seat belt has not been damaged by sharp edges.If the seat belt does not operate nor- mally, it will not protect the child. Consult an approved dealer. Do not use this seat until the seat belt has been repaired.
Do not use the child seat if it may unfasten the seat belt restraining it: the base of the seat must not rest on the buckle and/or catch of the seat belt.

The third ring is used to attach the upper strap on some child seats.
Fix the hook of the strap onto ring
3 and pull the strap so that the seatback of the child seat comes into contact with the seatback of the vehicle seat.
The two rings

1 are located between the seatback and the seat squab and are clearly visible.
To ensure your child seat can be easily
fitted and locked on rings 1, use access
guides 2 on the child seat.
CHILD SAFETY : choosing a child seat mounting (continued)
The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child seats with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat belt or other objects to these fittings.
Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX fittings
checked and replace your child seat.
Check that the seatback of
the forward-facing child seat is in contact with the seat- back of the vehicle seat.
In this case, the child seat may not always rest on the seat base of the vehicle seat.

CHILD SAFETY : Fitting a child seat
In the rear side seatA carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nearest the door.
Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a rear-facing child seat, then move back the seat or seats in front in accordance with the child seat instructions.
For the safety of the child in the for- ward-facing seat, do not move the seat in front back past the middle of the runner, do not tilt the seatback too far (maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as much as possible.
Check that the forward-facing child seat is resting against the back of the vehi- cle seat and that the headrest of the ve- hicle is not obstructing its use.
In the front seatThe laws concerning children travel- ling in the front passenger seat differ in every country. Consult the legislation in force and follow the indications on the diagram on the following page.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if authorised):
– lower the seat belt as far as possi- ble;
– move the seat as far back as possi- ble;
– gently tilt the seatback away from vertical (approximately 25°).
Do not change these settings after the child seat is installed.

SERIOUS INJURY: before fitting a rear-facing child seat in this seat, check that the air bag has been deacti- vated (refer to the information on “Deactivating the front passenger air bags” in Section 1).
Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagram on the follow- ing page shows you how to attach a child seat.
The types of child seats indicated may not be available. Before using a differ- ent child seat, check with the manufac- turer that it can be fitted.
Fit the child seat in a rear seat wherever possible.
Check that when installing the child seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of coming loose from its base.
If you have to remove the headrest, check that it is correctly stored so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the vehicle even if it is not in use so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.
