 page 16.
Read and always observe the safety informa-
tion included in the following chapters: ● Safety distance with respect to the passen-
ger airbag ›

›› in Introduction on page 58.
● Objects between the passenger and the
pa s

senger side airbag ››› in Front airbags
on p ag
e 61
.
The passenger side front airbag, when ena-
bled, is a serious risk for a child that is facing
backward since the airbag can strike the seat
with such force that it can cause serious or
fatal injuries. Children up to 12 years old
should always travel on the rear seat.
Therefore we strongly recommend you to
transport children on the rear seats. This is
the safest location in the vehicle. Alternative-
ly, the front passenger airbag can be disa-
bled with a key-operated switch ›››
page 62.
When transporting children, use a child seat
suitable for the age and size of each child
››› page 66. WARNING
● If a c hi

ld seat is secured to the front pas-
senger seat, the risk to the child of sustain- ing critical or fatal injuries in the event of an
acc
ident

increases.
● An inflating front passenger airbag can
strike the r
ear-facing child seat and project it
with great force against the door, the roof or
the backrest.
● Never install a child seat facing backwards
on the front p
assenger seat unless the front
passenger front airbag has been disabled.
Risk of potentially fatal injuries to the child!
However, if it is necessary, in exceptional ca-
ses, to transport a child in the front passen-
ger seat, the front passenger front airbag
must always be disabled ››› page 62. If the
passenger seat has a height adjustment op-
tion, move it to the highest, most upright po-
sition. If you have a fixed seat, do not install
any child restraint system in this location.
● For those vehicles that do not include a key
lock sw
itch to deactivate the airbag, the vehi-
cle must be taken to a technical service.
● All vehicle occupants, especially children,
must
assume the proper sitting position and
be properly belted in while travelling.
● Never hold children or babies on your lap,
this c
an result in potentially fatal injuries to
the child!
● Never allow a child to be transported in a
vehicl
e without being properly secured, or to
stand up or kneel on a seat while travelling.
In an accident, the child could be flung
through the vehicle, causing possibly fatal in-
juries to themselves and to the other vehicle
occupants. ●
If c hi

ldren assume an improper sitting posi-
tion when the vehicle is moving, they expose
themselves to greater risk of injury in the
event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an
accident. This is particularly important if the
child is travelling on the front passenger seat
and the airbag system is triggered in an acci-
dent; as this could cause serious injury or
even death.
● A suitable child seat can protect your child!
● Never leave a child alone in the child seat
or inside the
vehicle because depending on
the season, very high temperatures may be
reached inside a parked vehicle, which could
be fatal.
● Children who are less than 1.5 metres tall
must
not wear a normal seat belt without a
child seat, as this could cause injuries to the
abdominal and neck areas during a sudden
braking manoeuvre or in an accident.
● Do not allow the seat belt to become twis-
ted and the seat
belt should be properly in
place ››› page 51.
● Only one child may occupy a child seat
›››

page 66.
● When a child seat is mounted in the rear
seats, the door c
hild-proof lock should be ac-
tivated ››› page 97.64

 page 16. WARNING
The lower anchor points for child seats do not
include rin g

s. Only secure booster seats to
lower anchor points. WARNING
Child seats with lower anchor points and with
an upper r et

aining strap must be installed in
line with the manufacturer's instructions.
Failure to comply could result in severe inju-
ries.
● Always secure just one r
etaining strap to a
child seat with the luggage compartment re-
taining ring.
● Always use the correct retaining rings for
the retainin
g strap.
● Never secure the retaining strap to a retain-
er. WARNING
In general, the rear seat is always the safest
pl ac

e for children, who are belted correctly, in
the event of an accident.
● A suitable child seat that is correctly instal-
led and used on one of
the rear seats offer the most protection possible for babies and
chi
l

dren up to 12 years in most accidents. WARNING
Unbuckling the seat belt while the vehicle is
in motion c an cau

se severe or fatal injuries in
the event of an accident or sudden braking.
● The seat belt must not be unfastened until
the vehic
le has come to a standstill. CAUTION
● To av oid m

aking permanent marks in the
padding, remove the auxiliary introduction
elements from the anchor points when the
child seat is not installed in the vehicle an-
chor points.
● To prevent damage being done to the up-
hols
tery, the padding or the auxiliary intro-
duction elements, always remove the auxili-

Legal regulations and provisions will always
take priority over the descriptions of this in-
struction manual. There are different regula-
tions and provisions for the use of child seats
and their mountings ( ››› table on page 66).
In some countries, for example, the use of
child seats on certain seats in the vehicle
may be forbidden.
The physical principles and the forces acting
on the vehicle in the event of a collision or
other type of accidents also apply to children
››› page 51. However, unlike adults and
youngsters, children do not have fully devel-
oped muscle and bone structures. In the
event of an accident, children are subject to a
greater risk than adults of sustaining severe
injuries.
Given that children's bodies are not yet fully
developed, child restraint systems must be
used that are especially adapted to their
height, weight and constitution. There are
laws in force in many countries that indicate
the use of approved seat systems for trans-
porting babies and children. Only used authorised, approved child seats
that
ar

e suitable for the vehicle. Always con-
sult with a SEAT dealership or a Specialised
workshop should you have any doubts.
Specific child seat regulations for each coun-
try (selection)
Child seats must comply with the ECE-R 44 1)
regulation. You can get additional informa-
tion by consulting your SEAT dealership or at
the internet address www.seat.es.

. Nor do al

l seats adapt to the vehicle.
Therefore, always check whether the child fits properly in the child seat and whether the
seat c

an be installed safely in the vehicle.
Child seats approved under the ECE-R 44 reg-
ulation are fitted with the corresponding ap-
proval symbol. The sign is an upper-case E in
a circle with the identification number below
it.
Use of the child seat on the front pas-
senger se
at Transporting children on the front passenger
se
at
i

s not permitted in all countries. Further-
more, not all child seats are approved for use
on the front passenger seat. Your SEAT deal-
ership has an updated list of all approved
child seats. Only used child seats that are ap-
proved for each vehicle.
The front airbag on the front passenger side
is highly dangerous for a child. The front pas-
senger seat is life-threatening to a child if he
or she is transported in a rear-facing child
seat.
If a rear-facing child seat is secured to the
front passenger seat, an inflating front airbag
can strike it with such great force that severe
or fatal injuries may result ››› . Therefore,
r e
ar

-facing child seats must never be placed1)
