most protected position in the event of an
accident.
❒ If the passenger's front air bag is deactivated
always check the warning light on the instrument
panel to make sure that it has actually been
deactivated.
❒ Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the
child seat which are mandatory by law. Keep the
instructions in the car along with the other
documents and this handbook. Do not use
second-hand child seats without instructions.
❒ Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by
pulling on it.
