a

ll children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to

travel in the "rear ward facing" position
both in the front and in the rear.
*

with the latest ISoFIX regulation.

ountings:
"ISOFIX" mountings
There are three rings for each seat: -  
a
  ring   B
, behind the seat, referred to as the
TOP TETHER   for   fixing   the   upper   strap.
The TOP TETHER is used to secure the
upper   strap   of   child   seats   that   have   one.   This  
a

rrangement   limits   the   for ward   tipping   of   the  
c

hild   seat   in   the   event   of   a   front   impact.
This
  ISOFIX   mounting   system   provides   fast,  
r

eliable   and   safe   fitting   of   the   child   seat   in   your  
v

ehicle.

t
wo   rings   A, located between the vehicle
seat
  back   and   cushion,   indicated   by   a  
lab

el, The ISOFIX child seats are fitted with two
latches
  which   are   secured   on   the   two   rings   A.
Some
  seats   also   have   an   upper strap which is
attached
  to   ring   B. To
  secure   the   child   seat   to   the   top   tether:
-  
r
emove   and   stow   the   head   restraint   before  
i

nstalling   the   child   seat   on   this   seat   (refit   it  
o

nce   the   child   seat   has   been   removed),
-
p
ass the child seat strap over the top of
the   backrest   of   the   seat,   keeping   it   centred  
b

etween the head restraint apertures,
-  
s
ecure   the   hook   of   the   upper   strap   to   the  
r

ing   B
,
-  
t
ighten   the   upper   strap.
When   fitting   an   ISOFIX   child   seat   to   the   right  
h

and   rear   seat,   before   fixing   the   seat   in   place,  
f

irst   move   the   centre   rear   seat   belt   towards   the  m
iddle   of   the   vehicle   so   as   to   not   inter fere   with  t
he   operation   of   the   seat   belt.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in
  a   vehicle   compromises   the   child's  
p

rotection   in   the   event   of   an   accident.
Follow
  strictly   the   advice   given   in   the  
in

stallation instructions provided with
the
  child   seat.
