Safety
5Make sure that the seat belt is correctly
positioned and tightened.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure that
the support leg is in firm and steady contact
with the floor.
An incorrectly installed child seat in a vehicle 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 vehicle seat. If
the passenger seat is adjustable, move it
forwards if necessary.
Remove the head restraint 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.
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.
Use 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 sun's rays,
fit side blinds on the rear windows.
As a safety measure, do not leave:
–
A
child alone and unsupervised inside a
vehicle.
–
A
child or an animal in a vehicle which is
exposed to the sun, with the windows closed.
–
The keys within reach of children inside the
vehicle.

child seat is as close as possible to the backrest
of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact
with it.
►
Adjust the rear seat to the fully back
longitudinal position, with the backrest
straightened.
Ensure that the seat belt is correctly
tensioned.
For child seats with a support leg, ensure
that the support leg is in firm and steady
contact with the floor. If necessary, adjust the

Safety
5– Two front rings A, located between the vehicle
seat backrest and cushion, indicated by an
"ISOFIX" or "i-Size" marking,
–
If fitted to your vehicle, a rear ring
B, called a
Top Tether, is located behind the vehicle's seat
and is used to secure the upper strap and is
indicated by a "Top Tether" marking.
The Top Tether secures the upper strap of child
seats fitted with them. In case of frontal impact,
this device limits the extent to which the child
seat can tilt forward.
This ISOFIX and
i-Size mounting system
provides fast, reliable and safe fitting of a child
seat inside the vehicle.
ISOFIX and
i-Size child seats are fitted with two
latches which are secured to the two front rings
A.
Some child seats also have an upper strap which
is attached to rear ring B.
To secure the child seat to the Top Tether:
–
remove and stow the head restraint before
installing a child seat on this seat (refit it once
the child seat has been removed),
–
pass the strap
of the child seat over the top
of the seat backrest, centring it between the
openings for the head restraint rods,
–
attach the hook of the upper strap to rear ring
B
,
–
tighten the upper strap.
Incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle can compromise a child's safety
