ISOFIX CHILD SEAT SETUP
The car can be fitted with a Universal Isofix child
seat, a new European standardised system for
carrying children safely.
Isofix systems can be fitted alongside traditional child
seats.
An example of a Universal Isofix child seat for weight
group 1 is shown in fig. 131.
The other weight groups are covered by specific
Isofix child seats, which can be used only if
specifically tested for this car (see list of cars
provided with the child seat).
IMPORTANT The central rear seat (for versions/
market, where provided) is not approved for any
type of Isofix child seats.
To install the child seats, it is advisable to move the
rear seat fully backwards.
