Choosing a child seat mounting
There are two ways to attach child seats: using the seat belt or 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.
Always check that the seat belt is correctly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling
it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by moving it from side to side and back to front:
the seat should remain firmly fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been installed at an angle and that it is not resting
against a window.
WARNING
Do not use the child seat if it risks unfastening the seat belt restraining it: the
base of the seat must not rest on the buckle and/or catch of the seat belt.
WARNING
The seat belt must never be twisted or the tension relieved. Never pass the shoulder
strap under the arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate normally, it will not protect the child. Consult
an approved Dealer. Do not use this seat until the seat belt has been repaired.
Attachment using the ISOFIX system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are approved in accordance with current regulations if any of the three
cases below applies:
- universal ISOFIX 3-point forward-facing seat;
- semi-universal ISOFIX 2-point seat;
- specific.
For the latter two, check that your child seat can be installed by consulting the
list of compatible vehicles.
WARNING
Before using an ISOFIX child seat that you purchased for another vehicle, check that its installation is
authorised. Consult the list of vehicles which can be fitted with the seat with the
equipment manufacturer.
Attach the child seat using the ISOFIX locks, if equipped. The ISOFIX system allows quick, easy and safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings and, in some cases, a third ring.
WARNING
Check that the seatback of the forward-facing child seat is in contact with the seatback
of the vehicle seat. In this case, the child seat may not always rest on the seat
base of the vehicle seat.
The two rings 1ISOFIX are located between the seatback and the seat base and are identified by a marking
.
.
WARNING
No modifications must be made to the originally-fitted restraint system components:
seat belts, ISOFIX and seats and their mountings.
The third ring 2 of each rear seat is used to attach the upper strap on some child seats.
Attach the hook on the belt to one of the rings 2, as indicated by the mark
, located behind the rear seats at the base of each seatback.
, located behind the rear seats at the base of each seatback.
Pull the belt so that the back of the child seat comes into contact with the back
of the vehicle seat.
WARNING
The anchoring points 2 must be used to attach the child seat’s upper strap.
It is forbidden to use other mounting points to attach this strap.
WARNING
The ISOFIX anchoring points have been exclusively designed for child seats equipped with the
ISOFIX system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat belt or other objects to these
fittings.
Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage points checked and replace your child seat.
