Children at the rear
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat
and:
-
a "
rear ward facing" child seat,
-

t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
"forward facing".
To do this, move the front seat for wards
and, if necessary, straighten its backrest.
For optimal installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, verify that its backrest is
as close as possible to the backrest of the
vehicle seat, if possible in contact with it.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
the country in which you are driving.
Deactivate the front passenger airbag
when a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seats.
Other wise, there is a risk of serious or
fatal injury to the child if the airbag is
deployed. Installing a booster seat (height adjuster)
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
We recommend using a booster seat with
a backrest, equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.
Additional protections
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear
windows.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-

a c
hild or children alone and
unattended in a vehicle,
-

a c
hild or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with the
windows closed,
-

t
he keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.Child seat at the rear
"Rearward facing"
When a "rear ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the "rear ward facing" child seat does
not touch the vehicle's front seat.
"Forward facing"
When a "for ward facing" child seat is installed
on a rear passenger seat , move the vehicle's
front seat for ward and straighten the backrest
so that the legs of the child in the "for ward
facing" child seat do not touch the vehicle's
front seat.
