You can secure a child seat to the rear seat or
front passenger seat in the following ways:
● Child seats in groups 0 to 3 can be sec
ured
with a seat belt.
● Child seats for groups 0, 0+ and 1 can be
fas
tened without seatbelts, using the “ISO-
FIX” system, using the “ISOFIX” ››› page 18
securing rings.
● During installation of some models of
group I, II and III chil
d seats in the rear seat,
difficulty may arise in mounting given that
the seat comes into contact with the head re- straint. In this case, adjust the height of the
head re

straint or remove it from the seat fol-
lowing the instructions in the corresponding
chapter ›››
 page 129. Once you remove
the child seat, replace the head restraint in
its original position. » 17

“ISOFIX” and Top Tether child seat mounting system* Child seats can be secured quickly, easily
and s
af
ely on the r

ear outer seats with the
“ISOFIX” and Top Tether* system.
Two “ISOFIX” retaining rings are fitted on
each rear seat. In some vehicles, the rings
are secured to the seat frame and, in others,
they are secured to the rear floor. The “ISO- FIX” rings are located between the rear seat
backr
est and the seat cushioning. The Top
Tether* rings are located at the rear of the
backrests of the rear seats (behind the seat
backrest or in the boot). To understand the compatibility of the "ISO-
FIX" systems
in the vehicle, consult the table
below.
The body weight permitted and information
regarding sizes A to F is indicated on the la-

se be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
● Press the child seat onto the “ISOFIX” re-
taining ring
s until the child seat can be heard
to engage securely. If the child seat is fitted
with any other anti-rotation system, follow
the manufacturer instructions carefully.

or securing the seat to the vehi-
cle anchor point, located at the back of the
rear seat backrest and provide greater re-
straint.
The objective of this strap is to reduce the
forward movement of the child seat in a
crash, to reduce the risk of injuries to the
head from hitting the inside of the vehicle.
Using the Top Tether in rear-facing mounted
seats
Currently, there are very few rear-facing child
safety seats that have Top Tether. Please
carefully read and follow the seat manufac-
turer instructions to learn the proper way to
install the Top Tether strap. Securing the Top Tether* of the child

sed. WARNING
When driving safety is impaired during a trip,
the risk of injur

risk of injury. The following list includes most
of the s
afety
equipment in your SEAT:
● Three-point seat belts
● Belt tension limiter for the front and rear
side seats
● Belt

tensioners for the front seats
● Front airbags
● Side airbags in the front seat backrests,

● Adjustable steering column
The safety equipment
mentioned above
works together to provide you and your pas-
sengers with the best possible protection in
the event of an accident. However, these
safety systems can only be effective if you
and your passengers are sitting in a correct
position and use this equipment properly.

– Adjust the steering wheel so that there is a
distanc

e of at least 25 cm between the
steering wheel and the centre of your chest
››› Fig. 75.
– Move the driver's seat forwards or back-
wards

so that you are able to press the ac-
celerator, brake and clutch pedals to the
floor with your knees still slightly angled
››› .
– Ensure that you can reach the highest point
of the s
teerin

g wheel.
– Adjust the head restraint so that its upper
edge is at

the same level as the top of your
head, or as close as possible to the same
level as the top of your head ››› Fig. 76.
– Move the seat backrest to an upright posi-
tion so that y

our back rests completely
against it.
– Fasten your seat belt securely ››› p
age 61.
– Keep both feet in the footwell so that you
have the v

ehicle under control at all times.

●
Alwa y
s keep your feet in the footwell when
the vehicle is moving; never rest them on the
dash panel, out the window or on the seat. An
incorrect sitting position exposes you to an
increased risk of injury in case of a sudden
braking or an accident. If the airbag is trig-
gered, you could sustain severe injuries due
to an incorrect sitting position.
● To reduce the risk of injury to the front pas-
senger in event
s such as sudden braking ma-
noeuvres or an accident, never travel with the
backrest tilted far back! The airbag system
and seat belts can only provide optimal pro-
tection when the backrest is in an upright po-
sition and the front passenger is wearing his
or her seat belt properly. The further the seat
backrests are tilted to the rear, the greater
the risk of injury due to incorrect positioning
of the belt web or to the incorrect sitting po-
sition!
● Adjust the head restraint correctly in order
to achieve m
aximum protection. Correct sitting position for rear seat

››› page 72. WARNING
● If the pa s

sengers in the rear seats are not
sitting properly, they could sustain severe in-
juries.
● Adjust the head restraint correctly in order
to achieve m
aximum protection.
● Seat belts can only provide optimal protec-
tion when seat bac
krests are in an upright
position and the vehicle occupants are wear-
ing their seat belts correctly. If passengers In
the rear seats are not sitting in an upright po-
sition, the risk of injury due to incorrect posi-
tioning of the seat belt increases. Examples of incorrect sitting posi-
tion
s Seat belts can provide optimal protection on-
ly
when the belt
we

bs are properly posi-
tioned. Incorrect sitting positions substan-
tially reduce the protective function of seat
belts and increase the risk of injury due to in-
correct seat belt position. As the driver, you
are responsible for all passengers, especially
children. –
Never allow an
yone to assume an incorrect
sitting position in the vehicle while travel-
ling ››› .
The f o
llo

wing list contains examples of sit-
ting positions that could be dangerous for all
vehicle occupants. The list is not complete,
but we would like to make you aware of this
issue.
