Safety
service centre has an updated list of all ap-
proved child seats. Only used child seats that
are approved for each vehicle.
The front airbag on the front passenger side
is highly dangerous for a child. The front pas-
senger seat is life-threatening to a child if he
or she is transported in a rear-facing child
seat.
If a rear-facing child seat is secured to the
front passenger seat, an inflating front airbag
can strike it with such great force that severe
or fatal injuries may result ››› . Therefore,
rear-facing child seats must never
be placed
on the fr
ont
passenger seat when the front
passenger front airbag is enabled.
Only use a rear-facing child seat on the front
passenger seat if the front passenger front
airbag is disabled. When it is disabled, the
yellow PASSENGER AIR BAG control lamp
on the dash panel will be lit ››› page 20. If
you cannot disable the front passenger front
airbag and it remains activated, it is forbid-
den to transport children on the front pas-
senger seat ›››
.
Things 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 25
.
●
The se
at
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 risk 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 transported 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.
●
Children 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
