Safety
of the vehicle's rear seat, and is ideally in contact
with it.
Centre rear seat
A child seat with a support leg must never be
installed on the centre rear passenger seat .
Child seat at the front

► Adjust the front passenger seat to the
intermediate longitudinal position , with the
backrest straightened .
"Forward facing"

You must leave the front passenger
airbag active.
– Statistically , the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear
seats.
–

Children weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rear facing" position, whether in
the front or rear of the vehicle.
It is recommended that children travel
on the rear seats of the vehicle:
–

‘rear facing’ up to the age of 3,
–

‘forward facing’ over the age of 3.
Make 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.
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
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.
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 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 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.
Child seat at the rear
"Forward facing" or "Rearward
facing"




► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and
straighten the backrest so that the legs of the
child in the "forward facing" child seat or the
"rearward facing" child seat itself do not touch
the vehicle's front seat.
►

V
erify that the backrest of the "forward facing"
child seat is as close as possible to the backrest

These i-Size child seats also have:
– either an upper strap that is attached to ring B.
