could cause injury.
Proceed as follows:
open the convertible top;
make sure the ignition is switched
off;
slide the passenger seat as far back
as possible. You may need to move the
seat forward slightly and recline the
back of the seat, in order to assist in
the fittment of some child-restraint
systems;
make sure the seatback is securely
latched by pushing it back until it is fully
locked;
expand the area between the seat
bottom and the seatback slightly to
verify the locations of the ISOFIX anchor
fig. 73.
IMPORTANT The markings above the
ISOFIX anchors indicate the locations ofthe ISOFIX anchors for the attachment
of a child restraint system.
secure the child restraint system
using the ISOFIX anchor, following the
child restraint system manufacturer's
instruction;
switch the ignition ON and make
sure the OFF passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates
after installing a child restraint system
on the passenger seat (see “Passenger
Air Bag deactivation indicator lights”
paragraph). If the passenger air bag
OFF deactivation indicator light
fig. 74 does not illuminate, remove the
child restraint system, switch the
ignition to OFF, and then reinstall the
child restraint system;
if your child restraint system came
equipped with a tether, that probably
means it is very important to properly
secure the tether for child safety. Please
carefully follow the child restraint
system manufacturer's instructions
when installing tethers.
WARNING
92)Use the correct size child-restraint
system. For effective protection in vehicle
accidents and sudden stops, a child must
be properly restrained using a seat belt or
child-restraint system depending on age
and size. If not, the child could be seriously
injured or even killed in an accident.
93)Follow the manufacturer's instructions
and always keep the child-restraint system
buckled down. An unsecured
child-restraint system is dangerous. In a
sudden stop or a collision it could move
causing serious injury or death to the child
or other occupants. Make sure any
child-restraint system is properly secured in
place according to the child-restraint
system manufacturer's instructions. When
not in use, remove it from the vehicle or
fasten it with a seat belt, or latch it down to
BOTH ISOFIX anchors, and attach the
corresponding tether anchor.

110)Make sure the child restraint system
is properly secured. A child restraint
system that is not secured is dangerous. In
a sudden stop or collision, it can become a
projectile and hit someone, causing serious
injury. When not in use, remove it from the
vehicle, put it in the trunk or at least make
sure it is securely fastened to the ISOFIX
anchors.
111)Make sure there are no seat belts or
foreign objects near or around the ISOFIX
anchor secured child restraint system. Not
following the child restraint system
manufacturer's instructions when installing
the child restraint system is dangerous. If
seat belts or a foreign object prevent the
child restraint system from being securely
attached to the ISOFIX anchors and the
child-restraint system is installed
improperly, the child restraint system could
move in a sudden stop or collision causing
serious injury or death to the child or other
occupants. When installing the child
restraint system, make sure there are no
seat belts or foreign objects near or around
the ISOFIX anchors. Always follow the child
restraint system manufacturer's
instructions.SUPPLEMENTARY

SRS - AIR BAG
SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS) PRECAUTIONS
112) 113) 114)
The front and side supplementary
restraint systems (SRS) include different
types of air bags.
IMPORTANT Please verify which kinds
of air bags are equipped on your
vehicle by locating the “SRS AIR BAG”
location indicators.
These indicators are visible in the area
where the air bags are installed.
The air bags are installed in the
following locations:
the steering wheel hub (driver air
bag);
the passenger dashboard (passenger
air bag);
the outer sides of the seat backs
(side air bags).
The air bag supplementary restraint
systems are designed to provide
supplementary protection in certain
situations so seat belts are always
important in the following ways.
Without seat belt usage, the air bagscannot provide adequate protection
during an accident. Seat belt usage is
necessary to:
keep the occupant from being
thrown into an inflating air bag;
reduce the possibility of injuries
during an accident that is not designed
for air bag inflation, such as roll-over or
rear impact;
reduce the possibility of injuries in
frontal, near frontal or side collisions
that are not severe enough to activate
the air bags;
reduce the possibility of being thrown
from your vehicle;
reduce the possibility of injuries to
lower body and legs during an accident
because the air bags provide no
protection to these parts of the body;
hold the driver in a position which
allows better control of the vehicle.
A child who is too small to use a seat
belt must be properly secured using a
child restraint system.
Carefully consider which child restraint
system is necessary for your child and
follow the installation directions in this
Owner Handbook as well as the child
restraint system manufacturer's
instructions.
