Some seats are not suitable for fitting
child seats. The diagram on the follow-
ing page shows you how to attach a
child seat.
The types of child seats indicated may
not be available. Before using a differ-
ent child seat, check with the manufac-
turer that it can be fitted.
CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/4)
In the rear side seat
A carrycot can be installed across the
vehicle and will take up at least two
seats. Position the child with his or her
feet nearest the door.
Move the front seat as far forward as
possible to install a rear-facing child
seat, then move back the seat in front
as far as it will go, although without al-
lowing it to come into contact with the
child seat.
For the safety of the child in the for-
ward-facing seat, do not move the seat
in front back past the middle of the
runner, do not tilt the seatback too far
(maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as
much as possible.
Check that the forward-facing child seat
is resting against the back of the vehi-
cle seat and that the headrest of the ve-
hicle is not obstructing its use.
In the front seat
The laws concerning children travel-
ling in the front passenger seat differ in
every country. Consult the legislation in
force and follow the indications on the
diagram on the following page.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if
authorised):
– lower the seat belt as far as possible;
– move the seat as far back as possi-
ble;
– gently tilt the seatback away from vertical (approximately 25°);
– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat base as far as possible.
Do not change these settings after the
child seat is installed.
RISK OF DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY: before
fitting a rear-facing child
seat in this position, check
that the air bag has been deacti-
vated (refer to the information on
“Child safety: deactivating/activat-
ing the front passenger air bag” in
Section 1).
Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.
Check that when installing
the child seat in the vehicle
it is not at risk of coming loose from
its base.
If you have to remove the headrest,
check that it is correctly stored so
that it does not come loose under
harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the
vehicle even if it is not in use so that
it does not come loose under harsh
braking or impact.
Ensure that the child seat
or the child’s feet do not
prevent the front seat from
locking correctly. Refer to
the information on the “Front seat”
in Section 1.
1.39
X = Seat not suitable for fitting child seats.
U = Seat which allows a child seat with “Universal” approval to be ins\
talled using a seat belt; check that it can be fitted.
IL = On equipped vehicles, seat which allows an approved “Universal/semi-u\
niversal” or “vehicle specific” child seat to be attached
using the ISOFIX system; check that it can be fitted.
(2) Only a rear-facing child seat can be fitted in this seat: raise the seat\
to the maximum and position it as far back as possible ,
tilting the seatback slightly (approximately 25°).
(3) Forward-facing child seat; position the seatback of the child seat in co\
ntact with the seatback of the vehicle seat. Adjust the
headrest, or remove it if necessary. Do not push the front seat more than halfway back on its runners and d\
o not recline the
seatback more than 25°.
(4) A carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least \
two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nea rest
the door.
(5) Make sure that the child seat or the child’s feet do not prevent the front seat from locking correctly. Refer to the information on
the “Front seat” in Section 1.
(6) Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a rear-facing \
child seat, then move back the seat in front as far as it will
go, although without allowing it to come into contact with the child sea\
t.
CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (4/4)
The rear seats are not equipped with anchoring points for attaching an a\
nti-tipping strap for ISOFIX universal 3-point
forward facing child seats. Only ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point child sea\
ts are authorised.
Consult an approved dealer to find out whether the child seat can be fit\
ted to the vehicle.

Deactivating the front
passenger air bags
(on equipped vehicles)
You must deactivate certain devices
in addition to the front passenger seat
belt before fitting a child seat in the front
passenger seat. To deactivate the air bags: with the
vehicle stationary, push and turn
lock 1 to the OFF position.
With the ignition on, you
must check
that warning light 2
¹ is lit on the
central display and, depending on the
vehicle, that the message “Passenger
airbag off” is displayed.
This light remains permanently lit to
let you know that you can fit a child
seat.The passenger air bag must
only be deactivated or acti-
vated with the ignition off.
If it is interfered with when
the vehicle is being driven, indicator
lights
å and © will come
on.
Switch the ignition off then on again
to reset the air bag in accordance
with the lock.
CHILD SAFETY: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag (1/3)
1
DANGER
Since front passenger
airbag triggering and the
position of a rear-facing
child seat are incompatible, NEVER
use a restraining device for rear-
facing children on a seat with an
ACTIVATED AIRBAG in front of it.
This provides a risk of DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD.

Operating faults
It is forbidden to fit a rear-facing child
seat to the front passenger seat if the
air bag activation/deactivation system
is faulty.
Allowing any other passenger to sit in
that seat is not recommended.
If warning lights
› and ¹ are
lit at the same time.
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible.
Activating the front
passenger air bags
You should reactivate the air bag as
soon as you remove the child seat from
the front passenger seat to ensure the
protection of the front passenger in the
event of an impact.
