Fitting A Child Seat - Renault Latitude Handbook

chILd sAfETy: fitting a child seat
Some seats are not suitable for fitting
child seats. The diagram on the follow-
ing page shows you how to attach a
child seat.
The types of child seat indicated may
not be available. Before using a differ-
ent child seat, check with the manufac-
turer that it can be fitted.
Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.
Check that when installing
the child seat in the vehicle
it is not at risk of coming loose from
its base.
If you have to remove the headrest,
check that it is correctly stored so
that it does not come loose under
harsh braking or impact.
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 travel-
ling 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 possi-
ble;
– gently tilt the seatback away from
vertical (approximately 25°);
– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat
base as far as possible.
Do not change these settings after the
child seat is installed.
RIsk Of dEATh OR
sERIOUs INJURy: before
installing a rear-facing child
seat in the front passen-
ger seat, make sure the air bag has
been deactivated (refer to the infor-
mation on "Child safety: deactivat-
ing/activating the front passenger
air bag" Section 1).
In the rear side seat
A carrycot can be installed across the
vehicle and will take up at least two
seats. Position the child with his or her
feet nearest the door.
Move the front seat as far forward as
possible when installing a rear-facing
child seat. Then, push it back in com-
pliance with the child seat instructions.
For the safety of the child in the for-
ward-facing position, do not push back
the seat in front of the child more than
halfway along its runners. Do not re-
cline the seatback too far (maximum
of 25°) and raise the seat as much as
possible.
Check that the forward-facing child seat
is resting against the back of the vehi-
cle seat and that the headrest of the ve-
hicle is not obstructing its use.
