Main recommendations to carry
children safely
❒ Install the child seats on the rear
seat, which is the most protected
position in the event of an accident.
❒ Keep children in backward-facing
child restraint systems for as long
as possible, until 3–4 years old if
possible.
❒ Keep children in backward-facing
child restraint systems for as long
as possible, until 3–4 years old if
possible.
❒ Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint
system. Keep the instructions in the
vehicle along with the other
documents and this handbook. Do
not use second-hand child restraint
systems without instructions.
❒ Only one child is to be strapped to
each retaining system.
❒ Always check that the seat belts do
not rest on the child's neck.
❒ Always check that the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling on it.
❒ While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
❒ Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or
behind their back.
❒ Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No-one can hold a
child in the case of an accident.
❒ If the car has been involved in a
medium-high severity road
accident, replace the child restraint
system with a new one. In addition,
and depending on the type of child
restraint system installed, replace
the isofix anchorages or the seat
belt with which the child restraint
system was connected.
❒ The rear headrest can be removed
if needed to install a child restraint
system. The headrest must always
be fitted in the car if the seat is used
by an adult passenger or a child
sitting in a restraint system without
a backrest.
