WARNING
104)Do not place a rearward facing
cradle seat on the front seat if the
passenger side airbag is enabled.
Deployment of the airbag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries
to the child regardless of the
severity of the impact. It is
advisable to always carry children
in a child restraint system on the
rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of
a collision. If you need to carry
a child on the front passenger
seat in a rearward facing cradle
seat, the passenger side airbags
(front and side bags for chest/
pelvis protection, for
versions/markets, where
provided) must be deactivated
using the setup menu. It is
important to check the dedicated
LED on button
on the
instrument panel to make sure
that they are actually deactivated.
The passenger seat must also bepositioned back as far as possible
in order to avoid the child
restraint system from coming into
contact with the dashboard.
105) The figures are indicative and
for assembly purposes only. Fit
the child restraint system
according to the instructions,
which must be included.
106) Some child restraint systems
for weight group 0 and 1 have a
rear attachment to the car seat
belts and its own seat belts for
securing the child. Due to their
weight, they may be dangerous if
incorrectly mounted (e.g. if
fastened to the vehicle seat belts
placing a cushion in between).
Follow the assembly instructions
carefully.
SETUP FOR
“UNIVERSAL
ISOFIX” CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEMProvision has been made on the vehicle
to fit Universal Isofix child restraint
systems, a new European standardised
system for carrying children safely.
An example of a child restraint system
is shown in fig. 161.161
F1A0155
154
SAFETY
Due to its different attachment system,
the child restraint system must be
secured using the special lower metal
rings A fig. 162, positioned between
rear backrest and cushion. The upper
belt (provided with the child restraint
system) must be then secured to ring B
fig. 163 located in the lower part of
the seat. It is possible to have a mixed
assembly of traditional child restraint
systems and Universal Isofix ones.
Remember that in case of Universal
Isofix child restraint systems, you can
use all those approved with the marking
ECE R44/03 “Universal Isofix”.
