word “AIRBAG”.
When the driver and front passenger airbags
are deployed, the covers remain attached to
the steering wheel and dashboard, respec-
tively ››› Fig. 20 ››› Fig. 21.
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front
airbag system gives the front occupants ad-
ditional protection for the head and chest in the event of a severe frontal collision

Fr ont
airbags on page 75.
Their special design allows the controlled es-
cape of the propellant gas when an occupant
puts pressure on the bag. Thus, the head and
chest are protected by the airbag. After the
collision, the airbag deflates sufficiently to
allow visibility.

The essentials
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side
airb ag sy
stem provides additional protection
for the upper body in the event of a severe
side collision ››› in Side airbags* on
p ag

e 75.
In a side collision, the side airbags reduce
the risk of injury to passengers to the areas
of the body facing the impact. In addition to
their normal protection, the seat belts also
hold the passengers in the event of a side
collision; this is how these airbags provide
maximum protection.

The seat belt may be used to secure univer-
sal type child seats to the vehicle seats
marked with a U in the table below.
● In the passenger seat without height ad-
justmen
t: It is necessary to place the passen-
ger seat in its rearmost position 1)
. ●
In the pas
senger seat with height adjust-
ment: It is necessary to place the passenger
seat in its rearmost and highest position 1)
.
To correctly use a child seat in the back, the
front backrest must be adjusted so that there
is no contact with the child seat in the back
in the case that it goes opposite to the direc-
tion of the car. In the case of front facing re-
straint systems, the front backrest must be
adjusted so that there is no contact with the
child's feet. To adjust the passenger seat to accommo-
dat
e a child's seat and get the seat belt in a
perfect position, adjust the passenger back-
rest as far forward as possible. 1)
.
If a semi-universal type chair is to be instal-
led, in which the method of attachment to
the car is through the seat belt and support
bracket, it should never be installed in the
central rear seat as the ground clearance is
lower than in other places and the support
bracket will not allow the seat to remain suffi-
ciently stable. 1)
Compliance with current national legislation and
the m anuf

acturer's instructions is required when us-
ing or installing child seats. 18

Child seats can be secured quickly, easily
and s

ely on the rear 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” ring
s are located between the rear seat
backrest and the seat cushioning ››› Fig. 31.
The Top Tether* rings are located on the rear
part of the backrests of the rear seats (be-
hind the seat backrest or in the boot)
››› Fig. 32. To understand the compatibility of the "ISO-
FIX" sys
tems in the vehicle, consult the table
below. » 19

Position of the Top Tether rings on the
b ac

k of the rear seat. Child seats with the Top Tether system come
w
ith a s

trap for 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 for-
ward movements 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* to the an-
chor
