Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The diagrams on the following pages show 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.
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 diagrams on the following pages.
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 cases, for vehicles fitted with adjustable headrests, lift the headrest on the seat as high as possible so that it does not interfere with the child seat (refer to the information on “Front headrest” in section 1).
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.
Fit the child seat in a rear seat wherever possible.
To install an ISOFIX seat in this seat, unbuckle the seat belt by hand before engaging the bolts.
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.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: before installing a child seat on this seat, check that the airbag has been deactivated (refer to “Child safety: front passenger airbag deactivation/activation” in Section 1).
In the rear 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.
Check that the forward-facing child seat is resting against the back of the vehicle seat and that the headrest of the vehicle is not obstructing its use.
A child seat with a floor support must never be installed on the rear centre seat.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Child’s convertible headrest
If fitted to the vehicle, the child headrest and booster cushion can only be installed on the rear side seats.
For fitting and use, refer to the equipment instructions.
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.
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 or “Rear seat operation” in Section 3.
