WARNING
108)
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 be
positioned back as far as possible
in order to avoid the child
restraint system from coming into
contact with the dashboard.
109) The figures are indicative and
for assembly purposes only. Fit
the child restraint system
according to the instructions,
which must be included.
110) 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 SYSTEM
Provision 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. 162.
162F1A0155
164
SAFETY
Due to its different attachment
system, the child restraint system
must be secured using the special
lower metal rings A fig. 163,
positioned between rear backrest
and cushion. The upper belt
(provided with the child restraint
system) must be then secured
to ring B fig. 164 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”.
