Transporting children safely
Suitable child seats
The chil
d seat must be authorised by the
manuf
act
urer especially for use on a front
passenger seat with a front or side airbag.
Universal seats for children can be fitted in
the front passenger seat, in groups 0, 0+, 1, 2
or 3 according to the ECE-R 44 regulation.
WARNING
If a child seat is mounted on the front pas-
senger seat, the risk of the child sustaining
se
vere or fatal injuries in the event of an ac-
cident increases. Rear-facing child seats
must never be mounted on the front pas-
senger 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 infla-
ted airbag and thrown against the seat
backrest.
WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, a child
must be transport
ed 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.
●
Follo
w 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
position to keep as far away as possible
from the front airbag.
●
Move the seat backrest to the upright po-
sition.
●
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 fr
ont passenger
seat so that the chil
d 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 correct
position

Suitable child seats
The manufacturer must authorise the child
seat for use in the rear seats with side air-
bags.
Universal seats for children can be fitted in
the passenger seat, in groups 0, 0+, 1, 2 or 3
according to the ECE-R 44 regulation.
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 approved for rear seats
ISOFIX child seats are divided into the follow-
ing certified categories: “universal”, “semi-
universal” or “specific categories for the vehi-
cle”.
●
If the ISOFIX child seat is certified “univer-
sal”, it must be supported by the lower an-
chor points and the Top Tether retaining
strap.
●
If the ISOFIX child seat is certified “semi-uni-
versal” or “specific categories for the vehi-
cle”, check that the child seat is certified for
the vehicle before employing it. The child
seat manufacturer supplies, in addition to the
ISOFIX child seat, a list of vehicles for which
the corresponding ISOFIX child seat has been
certified. If necessary, contact the child seat
manufacturer for an updated list of vehicles.
