Fitting a child seat, general information

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.
WARNING
Make sure 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.
Check that when installing the child seat in the vehicle it is not at risk of coming loose from its base.
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 the vertical position (approximately 25°);
  • on equipped vehicles, raise the seat base as far as possible.
After installing the child seat, you can move the vehicle seat if necessary. For a rear-facing child seat, do not let it touch the dashboard or move it to the furthest forward position.
Do not change other settings after installing the child seat.
WARNING
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: before installing a rear-facing child seat in the front passenger seat, make sure that the airbag has been deactivated (refer to the information on "Child safety: front passenger airbag deactivation/activation" in Section 1).
