to note if using a child seat on the
front passenger seat:
●
The front passenger front airbag must be
disabled when using a rear-facing child
seat ››› page 73.
●
The seat backrest of the front passenger
seat must be upright.
●
The front passenger seat must be moved as
far back as possible.
●
The seat backrest of the front passenger
seat must be upright.
●
The seat belt height adjustment must be as
high as possible.
Suitable child seats
The child seat must be authorised by the
manufacturer especially for use on a front
passenger seat with a front or side airbag.
If the front passenger seat is equipped with
retaining rings, the child seat can be secured
using an approved retaining system provided
it is approved for this type of vehicle in ac-
cordance with current regulations of the
country in question.
Universal seats for children of groups 0, 0+,
1, 2 or 3 according to the standard ECE-R 44
can be mounted on the front passenger seat
and the rear seats.
WARNING
If a child seat is mounted on the front passen-
ger seat, the ri
sk of the child sustaining se-
vere or fatal injuries in the event of an acci-
dent increases. Rear-facing child seats must
never be mounted on the front passenger
seat when the front passenger front airbag is
enabled. This is life-threatening to the child
should the front airbag deploy, as the child
seat would be struck by the inflated airbag
and thrown against the seat backrest.
WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, a child must
be trans
ported in a rear-facing child seat on
the front passenger seat, strictly observe the
following:
●
Always disable the front passenger front
airbag and leave it disabled.
●
The child seat must be approved by the
manufacturer for use on a front passenger
seat with front and side airbag.
●
Follow the installation instructions of the
child seat manufacturer and observe the
warnings.
●
Move the front passenger seat as far back
as possible and adjust it to its highest posi-
tion to keep as far away as possible from the
front airbag.
●
Move the seat backrest to the upright posi-
tion.
●
The seat belt height adjustment must be as
high as possible.
●
Childr
en must always be protected with an
approved child restraint system suited to
their height and weight.
Use of the child seat on the rear seat
If a child seat is mounted on the rear seat,
adapt
the position of the front passenger
seat so that the child has enough space.
Therefore, adapt the front passenger seat to
the size of the child seat and the height of
the child. Ensure the passenger is in the cor-
rect position ››› page 57.
Move the second and third rows of seats fully
back and lock them. Place the seat backs in a
vertical position and fold the head restraints
down.
ISOFIX child seats approved for rear seats
The rear seats are suitable for child seats
with the ISOFIX system specially designed
for this type of vehicle in accordance with
regulation ECE-R 44.
ISOFIX child seats are divided into “specific
categories for the vehicle”, “limited” or
“semi-universal”.
Child seat manufacturers supply a list of ve-
hicles with each ISOFIX seat, which includes
the models for which the ISOFIX child seat in
question is approved. If the vehicle is inclu-
ded in the manufacturer's list and the ISOFIX
