Carrying children
Always comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.
Children – and adults – must be correctly seated and strapped in during every journey. The children being transported in your vehicle are your responsibility.
A child is not like a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their muscles and bones have not yet finished growing. A seat belt alone is not sufficient for transporting them in your vehicle. Use an appropriate child seat and ensure you use it correctly.
warning
Use the "Child lock" function to prevent the doors from being opened Locking the doors manually.
warning
A collision at 31 mph (50 km/h) is the same as falling a distance of 10 meters. Transporting a child without a restraint is the equivalent of allowing them to play on a fourth-floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your arms. In the event of an accident, you will not be able to keep hold of the child, even if you yourself are wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child seat and have the seat belts and ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
warning
Driver’s responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle
Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone on your vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or by locking the doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Using a child seat
The level of protection offered by the child seat depends on its ability to restrain your child and on its installation. Incorrect installation compromises the protection it offers the child in the event of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a child seat, check that it complies with the regulations for the country you are in and that it can be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an approved dealer to find out which seats are recommended for your vehicle.
Regulations on transporting children are country-specific.
The use of a child seat during transport depends on child's age and/or height and/or weight.
For children that do not have to travel in a child seat, ensure that the seat belt is fastened and adjusted correctly.
In all cases, you must comply with the regulations in force in the country in which you are located.
Before fitting a child seat, read the manual and respect the instructions that come with it. In case of difficulties with installation, contact the equipment manufacturer. Keep the instruction manual with the seat.
