Safety
Child seats

Warning label on the sun visor - Front
passenger airbag
NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG
in front of it, SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD may occur.
Do not install a rear-facing child restraint
on the front passenger’s seat.
A child in a rear-facing child restraint could be seriously harmed if the
passenger's front airbag inflates. The inflated
airbag would be too close to the back of a
rear-facing child restraint.
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
harness of child seats, 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 the vehicle.
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.
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 child alone and unattended in 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.
