CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (4/4)
3
The third ring 3 is used to attach the
upper strap on some seats ISOFIX.
The child seat strap must
be attached to the corre-
sponding ring.
Do not use any other
mounting point.
Check that the seatback
of the forward-facing child
seat is in contact with the
seatback of the vehicle
seat. In this case, the child seat may
not always rest on the seat base of
the vehicle seat.
Attachment using the ISOFIX
system
(4-door version)
The two rings 1 are located between
the seatback and the seat base of the
seat and are identified by a marking. To
position and lock the child seat on the
rings 1, insert the child seat mountings
in the access guides 2.
The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child
seats with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat
belt or other objects to these anchorage points. Check that nothing is o\
b-
structing the anchorage points.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX an\
chorage
points checked and replace your child seat.
The rings are located behind the rear
seats and indicated by the symbol
.
Attach the strap hook to the corre-
sponding ring 3 and place the vehicle
seat in the desired position.
Pull the belt so that the back of the child
seat comes into contact with the back
of the vehicle seat.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat, general information (1/2)
The types of child seat indicated may
not be available. Before using a differ-
ent child seat, check with the manufac-
turer that it can be fitted.
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.
In all situations, reinsert the headrest to
its full extent so that it does not interfere
with the child seat (see the information
on “Front headrests” in Section 1);
Some seats are not suitable for fitting
child seats. The diagram on the follow-
ing page shows you how to attach a
child seat.
Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.
Make sure that the child
seat or the child’s feet do
not prevent the front seat from lock-
ing correctly. Refer to the informa-
tion on the “Front seat” in Section 1.
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.
RISK OF DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY: before
fitting a rear-facing child
seat to this seat, check that
the airbag has been deactivated
(refer to the information on "Child
safety: deactivating/activating the
front passenger airbag in Section 1).
After installing the child seat, when this
is possible, you can move the vehi-
cle seat forward if necessary (so as to
leave enough space in the rear seats
for passengers or other child seats).
For a rear-facing child seat, do not let
it touch the dashboard or move it to the
furthest forward position.
Do not change other settings after in-
stalling the child seat.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat, general information (2/2)
In the rear 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 a child in the facing
forwards, move the seat as far back as
possible and move the seat in front of
the child forward, remembering to move
the seatback forwards to avoid contact
between the seat and the child’s legs.
Always remove the headrest from the
rear seat used for the child seat (see
“Rear headrests” in Section 3). If nec-
essary, position the rear vehicle seat as
far back as possible. This must be done
before fitting the child seat.
Check that the child seat is resting
against the back of the vehicle seat.
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 or “Rear seat operation”
in Section 3.
When fitting a child seat
(Group 2 or 3 booster seat),
check that the seat belts op-
erate (wind) correctly: refer
to Section 1 “Rear seat belts”. If
necessary, adjust the position of the
vehicle seat.
A child seat with floor sup-
ports must never be ins-
talled on the rear centre
seat. RISK OF DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY.
