IMPORTANT When the rear s eats are in us e, the head
re straints must always be in the pos ition of use.
All adjustments must be carried out only with
the vehicle stationary and engine off. Head
restraints must be adjusted so that the head,
rather than the neck, rests on them. Only in this case
can they protect your head correctly. To make the
best use of the head restraint’s protective action, ad-
just the backrest so that your torso is upright and
keep your head as close as possible to the head re-
straint.

❍prevent the retractors from getting wet: their correct
operation is only guaranteed if water does not get in-

❍replace the seat belt when it shows significant wear
or cuts.

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELYFor optimal protection in the event of an impact, all oc-
cupants must be seated and wearing adequate restraint
systems, including newborn and other children!
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries ac-
cording to EC Directive 2003/20/EC. Compared with an
adult, a child’s head is larger and heavier in proportion
to his/her body and the child’s muscular and bone struc-
tures are not fully developed. Therefore, correct restraint
systems other than adult seat belts are necessary to reduce
as much as possible the risk of injuries in the event of an
accident, braking or a sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be seated safely and comfortably. As far
as the characteristics of the chi
ld restraint systems used
allow, you are advised to keep children in rear facing re-
straint systems for as long as possible (at least until 2 years
old), since this is the most protected position in the event
of an impact. The choice of the most suitable child re-
straint device depends on the weight of the child; there are
various types of child restraint systems and you are ad-
vised always to choose the one that is most suitable for the
child.
When over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults and
wear seat belts normally.

SAFETY
GROUP 3 For children between 22 kg and 36 kg, there are dedicated
restraint systems that allow the seat belt to be worn cor-
rectly.
Figure 9 shows correct child seat positioning on the rear
seat. Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts
like adults.
The diagram is indicative and for fitting
purposes only. Refer to the instructions
which must be supplied with the child re-
straint system.

NOZZLES
Windscreen washer fig. 5
If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check that there is
fluid in the reservoir: (see “Checking levels” paragraph in
this chapter).
Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged, if nec-
essary clean them using a needle.
The windscreen jets are directed by adjusting the nozzle
angle.
The jets should be directed at about a third of the height
from the top edge of the windscreen.
IMPORTANT In versions with a sun roof, make sure that
the sun roof is closed before operating the front jets.
