Do not place a cradle seat
facing backwards on the
front seat if the passenger side airbag
is enabled. Deployment of the airbag
in an accident could cause fatal in-
juries to the baby regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable
to always carry children in dedicat-
ed child seats on the rear seat, which
is the most protected position in the
event of an accident.
WARNING
SERIOUS HAZARD Should
it be absolutely necessary to
carry a child on the front
seat in a backwards-facing
cradle seat, the passenger’s
front and side airbags should
be deactivated through the setup
menu. Deactivation can be verified by
checking the
“
warning light on the
instrument panel. Also, the passen-
ger seat should be as far back as pos-
sible to avoid contact between the
child seat and the dashboard.WARNING

cation. For assembly, refer to
the instructions supplied with the
child seat.
WARNING
GROUPS 0 e 0+

backwards
on a cradle seat, which, by supporting the
head, does not induce stress on the neck
in the event of sharp deceleration.
The cradle is held in place by the car seat
belts fig. 8and in turn it must restrain the
child with its own belts.
GROUPS 1
From 9 kg to 18 kg of weight, children may
be carried facing forwards.

SUITABILITY OF PASSENGER SEATS FOR CHILD SEAT USE
The car complies with the new European Directive 2000/3/EC which governs the
arrangement possibilities for child seats on the various seats of the car as shown in
the following table:Below is a summary of the safety
rules to be followed when carrying
children:
1) The recommended position for in-
stalling child seats is on the rear seat, as
it is the most protected area in the event
of a crash.
2) When disengaging the passenger
airbag, always check the amber warning
light on the instrument panel is perma-
nently on to make sure that the airbag has
actually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions that
came with the child seat, which the man-
ufacturer must supply by law. Keep the in-
structions in the car along with the other
documents and this handbook. Do not use
second hand child seats without instruc-
tions.
4) Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened by pulling on it.
5) Only one child is to be strapped into
each retaining system; never carry two
children using one child seat.
6) Always check the seat belts do not
rest on the child’s neck.
7) While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or release the belts.
8) Never carry children on your lap, even
newborns. No one, however strong, can
hold a child in the event of an accident.
9) In the event of an accident, replace the
child seat with a new one.

WARNING
“UNIVERSAL ISOFIX”
CHILD RESTRAINT
ASSEMBLY SETUPThe car is provisioned for a Universal
Isofix child restraint, a new European stan-
dardised system for carrying children safe-
ly. An example of such a seat is shown in
fig. 12. The Universal Isofix child seat cov-
ers weight group 1.
Due to its different attachment system,
the Universal Isofix child seat must be an-
chored to the special low metal rings A-
fig. 13, located between the backrest and
rear cushion. The upper belt (provided
with the child seat) must be then secured
to ring B-fig. 14located on the back of
the backrest at child seat level. It is pos-
sible to have a mixed assembly of the tra-
ditional child seats and the Universal Isofix
ones.
Remember that, in the case of Universal
Isofix child seats, you can use all those
seats bearing the marking ECE R44/03
Universal Isofix.
