Renault Zoe
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 seats indicated may not be available. Before using a different child seat, check with the manufacturer that it can be fitted.
Fit the child seat in a rear seat wherever possible.
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.
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.
After installing the child seat, when this is possible, you can move the vehicle seat forward if necessary (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 these settings after the child seat is installed.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: before fitting a rear-facing child seat in this position, check that the airbag has been deactivated (refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating the front passenger airbag” in Section 1).
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 his or her 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.
Always remove the headrest from the rear seat used for the child seat (see “Rear headrests” in Section 3). If necessary, position the rear seat as far back as possible. This must be done before fitting the child seat. Check that the child seat is resting against the back of the rear seat.
Rear centre seat
Check that the belt is suitable for securing your child seat. Consult an approved dealer.
Make sure 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.
A child seat with a floor support must never be installed on the rear centre seat.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
When fitting a child seat (Group 2 or 3 booster seat), check that the seat belts operate (wind) correctly: refer to Section 1 “Rear seat belts”. If necessary, adjust the position of the vehicle seat.
³ Check the status of the air bag before fitting a child seat or allowing a passenger to use the seat.
