Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagram on the following page shows you how to attach a child seat.

The types of child seat indicated may not be available. Before using a different child seat, check with the manufacturer that it can be fitted.

In the front seat

The laws concerning children travelling in the front passenger seat differ in every country. Consult the legislation in force and follow the indications on the diagram on the following page.

Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if authorised):

- lower the seat belt as far as possible;

- move the seat as far back as possible;

- gently tilt the seatback away from vertical (approximately 25°);

- on equipped vehicles, raise the seat base as far as possible.

In all situations, reinsert the headrest to its full extent so that it does not interfere with the child seat (see the information on “Front headrests” in Section 1);

After installing the child seat, if necessary, the seat may be advanced (so as to leave enough space in the rear seats for passengers or other child seats). For a rear-facing child seat, do not let it touch the dashboard or move it to the furthest forward position.

Do not change other settings after installing the child seat.

In the rear side seat

A carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least two seats.

Position the child with their feet nearest the door.

Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a rear-facing child seat, then move back the seat in front as far as it will go, although without allowing it to come into contact with the child seat.

For the safety of the child in the forward-facing seat, do not move the seat in front back past the middle of the runner, do not tilt the seatback too far (maximum of 25°) and raise the seat as much as possible.

In all situations, remove the rear headrests (refer to the information on the “Rear headrests” in Section 3). This must be done before fitting the child seat.

Check that the forward-facing child seat is resting against the back of the vehicle seat.

Ensure that the child seat or the child’s feet do not prevent the front seat from locking correctly. Refer to the information on the “Front seat” in Section 1.

Check that when installing the child seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of coming loose from its base.

If you have to remove the headrest, check that it is correctly stored so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.

Always attach the child seat to the vehicle even if it is not in use so that it does not come loose under harsh braking or impact.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: Before installing a child seat on the front passenger seat, check that the airbag has been deactivated (please refer to “Child safety: front passenger airbag deactivation and activation” in Section 1).

A child seat with floor supports must never be installed on the rear centre seat.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

Fit the child seat in a rear seat wherever possible.

Fitting a seat ISOFIX in the rear-left seat means the middle seat cannot be used. The central seat belt will no longer be either accessible or useable. To install an ISOFIX seat in this seat, detach the central seat belt by hand before engaging the bolts.


³ Check the status of the airbag before fitting a child seat or allowing a passenger to use the seat.

Seat which allows a rearfacing seat with “universal” approval only to be attached with a seat belt.

ü Seat which allows an ISOFIX child seat to be fitted.

±The seats ISOFIX are fitted with an anchorage point which allows a forward-facing ISOFIX child seat with “Universal” approval to be attached. The anchorage points are located in the boot for the rear seats, and on the seatbacks for the front seats.

The size of the ISOFIX child seat is indicated by a letter:

- A, B and B1: for forward-facing seats in group 1 (9 to 18 kg);

- C and D: shell seat or rear-facing seats in group 0+ (less than 13 kg) or group 1 (9 to 18 kg);

- E: rear-facing shell seats in group 0 (less than 10 kg) or 0+ (less than 13 kg);

- F and G: carrycots in group 0 (less than 10 kg).

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: Before installing a child seat on the front passenger seat, check that the airbag has been deactivated (please refer to “Child safety: front passenger airbag deactivation and activation” in Section 1).

Using a child safety system which is not approved for this vehicle will not correctly protect the baby or child. They risk serious or even fatal injury.
