The fittings described below DEPEND ON THE VEHICLE VERSION AND COUNTRY.

■ Fitting a child seat

Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagram indicates where to fit a child seat.

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

■ Choosing a child seat mounting

There are two ways to install a child restraint system.

• Using the seat belt;
• Using the ISOFIX system.

▶ Attachment via the seat belt

The seat belt must be adjusted in order to ensure it works in the event of sudden braking or impact.

Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are observed.

■ Rear-facing child seats

A baby’s head is, proportionally, heavier than that of an adult and its neck is very fragile. Transport the child in this position as long as possible (until the age of 2 at the very least). It supports both the head and the neck.

■ Carrying children

Please ensure that you comply with the legislation of your country.

Children, and adults, must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys. The children being carried in your vehicle are your responsibility.

A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet finished growing. The seat belt alone would not provide suitable protection.
