General points relating to
child seats
The legislation on carrying children is
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.
For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
-
I
n accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12
or less
than one and a
half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a
seat belt
or ISOFIX mountings.
-
S
tatistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the rear
seats.
-
A c
hild weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the " rearward facing " position
both in the front and in the rear.
It is recommended that children travel on
the rear seats of your vehicle:
-
"rearward facing " up to the age of 3,
-
"forward facing " over the age of 3. Ensure that the seat belt is positioned and
tightened correctly.
For child seats with a
support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in firm and steady
contact with the floor.
At the front: if necessary, adjust the
passenger seat.
At the rear: if necessary, adjust the
relevant front seat.
Remove and stow the head restraint
before installing a
child seat with backrest
on a
passenger seat. Refit the head
restraint once the child seat has been
removed.
Advice
An incorrectly installed child seat
compromises the child's safety in the
event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat
belt buckle under the child seat, as this
could destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harness keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a
minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a
child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it
secures the child seat firmly on the seat
of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forwards if necessary.
The head restraint must be removed
before installing a
child seat with
a
backrest on a passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
of sharp braking. Refit the head restraint
once the child seat has been removed.
Safety
105
Children at the rear
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat
and:
-
t
he "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.
A child seat with ISOFIX or i-Size
mountings must never be installed on the
centre rear passenger seat.
Children at the front
Deactivate the front passenger airbag
when a "rear ward facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were deployed. Installing a
booster seat
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
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 front
When a child seat is installed on the
f ront passenger seat , adjust this seat
to the highest position , in the rearmost
longitudinal position , with the backrest
straightened .
"Rearward facing "
The front passenger airbag must be
deactivated. Otherwise, the child risks
being seriously injured or killed if the
airbag is deployed .
"Forward facing "
You must leave the front passenger airbag
active.

Safety
107
Child seat at the rear
"Rearward facing " and
" Forward facing "
When a "rear ward facing" or "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" or the "rear ward
facing" child seat do not touch the vehicle's
front seat.
Centre rear seat
A child seat with a support leg must never be
i nstalled on the centre rear passenger seat .
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in
a
vehicle compromises the protection of
the child in the event of an accident.
