GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the ve-
hicle seat belts directly - fig. 7. In this case,
the child restraint system is used to posi-
tion the child correctly with respect to the
seat belts so that the diagonal belt section
crosses the child’s chest and not the neck,
and the lower part is snug on the pelvis
not the abdomen.
The figures are indicative
and for assembly purposes
only. Secure the child restraint sys-
tem according to the instructions,
which must be included with this type
of restraint system
WARNING
GROUP 3
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg,
there are dedicated restraint systems that
allow the seat belt to be worn correctly.
Fig. 8shows an example of correct child
restraint system positioning on the rear
seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height wear
seat belts like adults.

FITTING THE
“UNIVERSAL ISOFIX”
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
The vehicle can be equipped with a Uni-
versal Isofix child restraint system, a new
European standardised system for carrying
children safely. The ISOFIX fixing system
guarantees reliable, firm and quick fitting of
the child restraint system inside the vehi-
cle. Isofix child restraint systems can be fit-
ted alongside standard restraint systems.
An example of a Universal Isofix child re-
straint system for weight group 1
is shown. Due to its different fixing system,
the child restraint system must be secured
using the dedicated lower metal rings A -
fig. 10, located between the backrest and
the seat frame of the vehicle, then secure
the upper belt, called top tether, (provid-
ed along with the child restraint system) to
the dedicated ring B - fig. 11located in the
rear part of the backrest. To fix the upper
belt (top tether), raise the seat head re-
straint of the vehicle and pass the hook be-
tween its two rods. Then secure the hook
to the rear ring and tension the upper belt.
Remember that when using a Universal
Isofix child restraint system, you can only
use approved child restraint systems with
marking ECE R44 (release R44/03 or su-
perior) “Universal Isofix”. The other weight
groups are covered by specific Isofix child
restraint systems, which can be used only
if specifically approved for this car (see the
list of cars provided with the child restraint
system).

F0P0316m
If a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system is not fixed
to all of the three fixings, the child re-
straint system will not be able to pro-
tect the child correctly. In a crash, the
child could be seriously injured or
killed.
WARNING
Fit the child restraint system
when the car is stationary.
The child restraint system is correct-
ly fixed to the brackets when you
hear the clicks. Follow the instructions
for assembly, disassembly and posi-
tioning that the manufacturer must
provide with the child restraint sys-
tem.

MAIN RECOMMENDATIONS TO CARRY CHILDREN SAFELY:
1) The recommended position for installing child restraint systems, is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected area in the event
of an impact.
2) If the passenger airbag is deactivated, always check that the amber warning light on the instrument panel switches on constantly
to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions provided with the child restraint system which are mandatory by law. Keep the instructions in
the vehicle along with the other documents and this handbook. Do not use second-hand child restraint systems without in-
structions.
4) Always check that the seat belts are well fastened with a traction test.
5) Only one child is to be secured into each restraint system; never carry two children using one child restraint system.
6) Always check that the seat belts do not interfere with the child’s throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
8) Never allow a child to put the seat belt’s diagonal section under an arm or behind their back.
9) Never carry children on your lap, not even newborns. No-one, regardless of his/her strength, can restrain a child in the event of
an accident.
10) In the event of an accident, replace the child restraint system with a new one

FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver and passenger airbags (for versions/markets where provided)protect the front seat occupants in theevent of head-on impacts of medium-highseverity, by placing the bag between theoccupant and the steering wheel or dash-board. Therefore non-deployment inother types of impacts (side impacts, rearshunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not indicatea system malfunction.
Front driver and passenger airbags (for ver-sions/markets where provided) are not areplacement for, but are complementaryto, the seat belts, which you are recom-mended to always wear, as specified by lawin Europe and most non-European coun-tries.
An electronic control unit will inflate the bag, when necessary, in the event of afrontal impact. The bag will inflate instan-taneously placing itself between the frontoccupant’s body and the structures whichcould cause injury. It will deflate immedi-ately afterwards. The volume of frontairbags at max. inflation fills most of thespace between the steering wheel and thedriver and between the dashboard and thepassenger.
AIRBAG
The car is equipped with front airbags fordriver and passenger (for versions/markets,where provided), seat-mounted side airbagsfor driver’s and passenger pelvis-chest-shoulder protection (for versions/ markets,where provided), and window airbags forprotecting the heads of front and rear out-er occupants (for versions/markets whereprovided).
The location of the airbags on the car is marked by the writing “AIRBAG” in themiddle of the steering wheel, on the dash-board, on the side trim or on a label placednext to the airbag deployment area.
In the event of impact, those not wearing a seat belt are projected forwards and maycome into contact with the bag which is stillinflating. The protection offered by the bagis compromised in these circumstances.
Front airbags may not activate in the fol- lowing situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly deformableobjects not involving the front surface ofthe vehicle (e.g. wing collision againstguard rail, heaps of gravel, etc.);
❒underride impacts with other vehicles
Failure to activate in the conditions de- scribed above is due to the fact that theymay not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their activa-tion would be inappropriate. In these cas-es, non-deployment of the airbag does notnecessarily indicate a system malfunction.
