Warnings about fitting a chil
d seat
Take the following general warnings into ac-
count if you are going to fit a child seat. They
are valid for all child seats regardless of their
attachment system.
●
Please read and follow the child seat manu-
facturer's operating instructions.
●
The child seat should preferably be fitted to
the rear seat behind the front passenger seat
so that the child can exit the vehicle on the
pavement side.
●
Set the height of the seat belt such that it
adapts to the child seat naturally, without twist-
ing. The lowest position of the seat belt height
regulator must be used with rear-facing child
seats.
●
To correctly use a child seat in the back, the
front backrest must be adjusted so that there
is no contact with the child seat in the back in
the case that it goes opposite to the direction
of the car. In the case of front facing restraint
systems, the front backrest must be adjusted so
that there is no contact with the child's feet.
●
For a correct assembly of the child's seat on
the rear seats, adjust or dismount the headrest,
in order to prevent contact with the seat.
●
If a semi-universal type chair is to be installed,
in which the method of attachment to the car
is through the seat belt and support bracket,
it should never be installed in the central rear
seat as the ground clearance is lower than in
other places and the support bracket will not
allow the seat to remain suciently stable.
●
When fitting a child seat on the front passen-
ger seat, the seat must be moved backwards
as far as possible and placed in the highest
position. The backrest must also be put in a
vertical position

Important information about the front pas-
senger front airbag
A sticker with important information about the
passenger airbag is located on the passenger's
sunshade blind and/or on the passenger side
door frame ›››Fig.36.
Read and always observe the safety informa-
tion included in the following chapters:
●
Safety distance with respect to the passen-
ger airbag ›››page46.
●
Objects between the passenger and the pas-
senger side airbag ›››
in Fr
ont airbags on
page49.
The passenger side front airbag, when enabled,
is a serious risk for a child that is facing back-
ward since the airbag can strike the seat with
such force that it can cause serious or fatal inju-
ries. Children up to 12 years old should always
travel on the rear seat.
