GROUP 1
79) 80)
Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may
be carried in child seats facing forwards
fig. 114.
GROUP 2
80)
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the
car seat belts directly fig. 115.In this case, the child restraint system is
used to position 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.
GROUP 3
80)
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg,
there are dedicated restraint systems
that allow the seat belt to be worn
correctly.
fig. 116 shows an example of correct
child seat positioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear
seat belts like adults.
WARNING
79) Child restraint systems with
Isofix attachments are available,
which allow them to be secured to
the seat safely without using the
car seat belts. See paragraph
"Isofix child restraint system
setup" for the fitting instructions.
80) The figure is indicative for fitting
purposes only. Fit the child
restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be
included.

PREPARATION FOR
“ISOFIX” CHILD
SEAT
The car is equipped with ISOFIX
anchorages, a new standard which
makes fitting a child seat quick, simple
and safe.
Isofix systems can be fitted alongside
conventional child seats on different
seats in the same car.
fig. 117 Shows an example of a
Universal Isofix child restraint system for
weight group 1.
81)
The other weight groups are covered
by specific Isofix child seats, which can
be used only if specifically tested for
this car (see list of cars provided with
the child seat).
IMPORTANT The central rear seat is
not approved for any type of Isofix child
seat.
INSTALLING A
UNIVERSAL ISOFIX
CHILD SEAT
Proceed as follows:
❒attach the child restraint system to
the special lower metal rings B fig.
118, located inside the rear seat
backrest (to access the rings lift
hinge A);❒secure the upper belt (available
together with the child restraint
system) to the special attachments C
fig. 119 located in the rear part of
the backrest.
It is possible to have a mixed assembly
of traditional child restraint system
and Universal Isofix ones. Remember
that when using a Universal Isofix child
restraint system, you can only use
type-approved child restraint systems
with the marking ECE R44 (R44/03
or superior) “Universal Isofix”.
The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child
seat and the special “G 0/1 S” seat are
available from Lineaccessori Alfa

details, refer to the “Instruction Manual”
provided with the child restraint system.

SAFETY

Main recommendations
to carry children safely
❒Install the child restraint systems
on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an
accident.
❒Keep children in rear facing child
restraint systems for as long as
possible, until 2 years old.
❒Should a rear facing child restraint
system be installed on the rear seats,
it is advisable to position it as far
forward as the position of the front
seat allows.
❒If the front passenger airbag is
deactivated always check the
permanent switching on of the
warning light in the trim above the
internal rearview mirror to make
sure that it has actually been
deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint
system itself. Keep the instructions in
the car along with the other
documents and this handbook. Do
not use second-hand child restraint
systems without instructions.
❒Only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry
two children simultaneously.❒Always check that the seat belts do
not interfere with the child's throat.
❒Always check that the seat belt
is well fastened by pulling on it.
❒While travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
❒Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or
behind their back.
❒Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No-one can restrain
a child in the event of an accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace
the child restraint system with a
new one.
WARNING
81) The figure is indicative for fitting
purposes only. Fit the child
restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be
included.
82) If a Universal Isofix child
restraint system is not fixed to all
three anchorages, it will not be
able to protect the child correctly.
In a crash, the child could be
seriously or fatally injured.83) Fit the child restraint system only
when the car is stationary. The
child restraint system is correctly
secured to the brackets when
you hear the click. Follow the
instructions for assembly,
disassembly and positioning that
the manufacturer must supply
with the child restraint system.
84) Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions,
which must be included.
