Installing the child seat

Some seating positions are not approved for installing a child seat.

The diagram on the following page shows where to install a child seat.

The types of child seat mentioned may not be available. Before using another child seat, check with the manufacturer that it can be fitted.

Preferably install the
child seat on a rear seat.

Make sure that installing the child seat in the vehicle cannot unlatch it from its base.

If you must remove the head restraint, make sure it is properly stowed so that it does not become a projectile in the event of hard braking or a collision.

Always secure the child seat to the vehicle, even when it is not in use, so that it does not become a projectile in the event of hard braking or a collision.

In the front passenger seat

Transporting a child in the front passenger seat is specific to each country.

Consult the regulations in force and follow the diagram on the following page.

Before installing a child seat in this position (if permitted):

• lower the seat belt as far as possible;
• move the seat fully back;
• tilt the backrest slightly from the vertical (approximately 25°);
• for vehicles so equipped, raise the seat cushion to its highest position.

Do not change these settings again after the child seat has been installed.

RISK OF
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: before installing a rear-facing child seat in this position, check that the airbag is deactivated (refer to the "Child safety: deactivating/activating front passenger airbag" section in chapter 1).

In the rear outboard seat

A carrycot is installed across the vehicle and uses at least two seats. Position the child's head on the side opposite the door.

Move the front seat forward as far as possible to install a rear-facing child seat, then move it back as far as possible without touching the child seat.

For the child's safety when facing forward, do not move the seat in front of the child rearward beyond the middle of the rail, do not recline the backrest too much (25° maximum) and raise the seat as much as possible.

Check that the forward-facing child seat is pressed against the vehicle seatback and that the vehicle headrest does not get in the way.

Make sure
that the child seat or the child's feet do not prevent the front seat from locking properly.

Refer to the "Front seat" section in chapter 1.

Child seat secured with ISOFIX attachment

Position allowing
mounting of an ISOFIX child seat.

The rear seats
are fitted with an anchorage allowing the mounting of an ISOFIX universal forward-facing child seat.

The anchorages are located at the back of the rear seat.

The size of an ISOFIX child seat is indicated by a letter:

• A, B and B1: for forward-facing group 1 seats (9 to 18 kg);
• C: rear-facing group 1 seats (9 to 18 kg);
• D and E: rear-facing shells or seats of group 0 or 0+ (under 13 kg);
• F and G: group 0 carrycots (under 10 kg).

Using
a child restraint system not suitable for this vehicle will not properly protect the baby or child. They could be seriously or fatally injured.

The table below repeats the same information as the diagram on the previous page in order to comply with current regulations.
