CHILD SAFETY: general information (1/3)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly 
seated and strapped in for all journeys. 
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children 
are at risk of specific injuries as their 
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone 
would not provide suitable protection. 
Use an approved child seat and ensure 
you use it correctly.
To prevent the doors being 
opened, use the childproof 
locks (refer to the informa-
tion on “Locking/unlocking 
the doors” in Section 1).
A collision at 30 mph 
(50 km/h) is the same 
as falling a distance of 
10 metres.  Transporting  a 
child without a restraint is the equi-
valent of allowing him or her to play 
on a fourthfloor balcony without rail-
ings.
Never travel with a child held in your 
arms. In the event of an accident, 
you will not be able to keep hold of 
the child, even if you yourself are 
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in 
a road accident, replace the child 
seat and have the seat belts and 
ISOFIX fittings checked.
Never leave a child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is 
always strapped in and that 
the belt or safety harness used is 
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid 
wearing bulky clothing which could 
cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or 
arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct 
position for the entire journey, espe-
cially if asleep.
Special features of LPG 
versions
The vehicle’s LPG installa-
tion may lead to changes to 
the vehicle’s features compared to 
the petrol version.
This may relate to the number of 
seats and the installation of child 
seats.
Please contact an authorised dealer.

Using a child seat
The level of protection offered by the 
child seat depends on its ability to re-
strain your child and on its installation. 
Incorrect installation compromises the 
protection it offers the child in the event 
of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a child seat, check 
that it complies with the regulations for 
the country you are in and that it can 
be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap-
proved dealer to find out which seats 
are recommended for your vehicle.
Before fitting a child seat, read the 
manual and respect its instructions. If 
you experience any difficulties during 
installation, contact the manufacturer 
of the equipment. Keep the instructions 
with the seat.Set a good example by always fas-
tening your seat belt and teaching 
your child:
–  to strap themselves in correctly;
–  to always get in and out of the car 
at the kerb, away from busy traf-
fic.
Do not use a second-hand child 
seat or one without an instruction 
manual.
Check that there are no objects in 
the vicinity of the child seat which 
could impede its operation.
Never leave a child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is 
always strapped in and that 
the belt or safety harness used is 
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid 
wearing bulky clothing which could 
cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or 
arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct 
position for the entire journey, espe-
cially if asleep.

Rear-facing child seats
A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier 
than that of an adult and its neck is very 
fragile. Transport the child in this po-
sition for as long as possible (until the 
age of 2 at the very least). It supports 
the head and neck. Choose a bucket 
type seat for better side protection and 
replace it as soon as the child’s head 
extends past the seat shell. Forward-facing child seats
The child’s head and abdomen need to 
be protected as a priority. A forward-fac-
ing child seat which is firmly attached to 
the vehicle will reduce the risk of impact 
to the head. Ensure your child travels in 
a forward-facing seat with a harness for 
as long as their size permits. Choose 
a wrap-around seat for better side pro-
tection.Booster cushions
From 15 kg or 4 years, the child can 
travel using a booster seat, which will 
enable the seat belt to be adapted 
to suit his/her size and shape. The 
booster seat cushion must be fitted with 
guides to position the seat belt on the 
child’s thighs rather than the stomach. 
It is recommended that you use a seat-
back fitted with a belt strap guide which 
can be adjusted in terms of height to 
position the seat belt in the centre of 
the shoulder. It should never rest on the 
neck or over the arm. Choose a bucket 
type seat for better side protection.

Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to 
ensure that it is effective in the event of 
harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated 
by the child seat manufacturer are re-
spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor-
rectly fastened by pulling it up, then 
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the 
child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by 
moving it from side to side and back 
to front: the seat should remain firmly 
fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been 
installed at an angle and that it is not 
resting against a window.
The seat belt must never 
be twisted or the tension 
relieved. Never pass the 
shoulder strap under the 
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not 
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate nor-
mally, it will not protect the child. 
Consult an approved dealer. Do not 
use this seat until the seat belt has 
been repaired.
Do not use the child seat 
if it may unfasten the seat 
belt restraining it: the base 
of the seat must not rest on 
the buckle and/or catch of the seat 
belt.
No modifications may be 
made to the component 
parts of the restraint system 
(belts, ISOFIX and seats 
and their mountings) originally fitted.
Before using an ISOFIX 
child seat that you pur-
chased for another vehicle, 
check that its installation is 
authorised. Consult the list of ve-
hicles which can be fitted with the 
seat with the equipment manufac-
turer.
Attachment with the ISOFIX system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-
proved in accordance with regulation 
ECE-R44 in one of the three following 
scenarios:
–  ISOFIX universal 3 point forward- facing seat;
–  ISOFIX semi-universal 2 point seat;
– specific.
For the latter two, check that your child 
seat can be installed by consulting the 
list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX 
locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX 
system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system is made up of 3 
rings for each rear side seat.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat (1/7)
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):
–  deactivate the front passenger air 
bag;
–  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);
RISK OF DEATH OR 
SERIOUS INJURY: Before 
installing a child seat on 
this seat, check that the 
airbag has been deactivated (refer 
to “Front passenger airbag deacti-
vation” 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.
The types of child seats indicated may 
not be available. Before using a differ-
ent child seat, check with the manufac-
turer that it can be fitted.
Fit the child seat in a rear 
seat wherever possible.
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.
After installing the child seat, if neces-
sary, the seat may be advanced (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 (2/7)
In the rear side 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.
Before fitting a child seat to the ISOFIX 
anchorages on the rear side seat, 
ensure that the seat belt buckles are 
not positioned between the two ISOFIX 
anchorages on this seat. If necessary, 
move the buckle from the seat in ques-
tion towards the centre of the vehicle.
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 the child in the for-
ward-facing seat, do not move the seat 
in front back past the middle of the 
runner, do not tilt the seatback too far 
(maximum of 25° ) and raise the seat as 
much as possible.
Check that the forward-facing child seat 
is resting against the back of the vehi-
cle seat. Adjust the headrest, or remove 
it if necessary. Rear centre seat
A child seat may only be fitted in this 
seat if it is equipped with an inertia-reel 
seat belt. For any additional informa-
tion, contact an approved dealer.
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 seats” in Section 1.
