chilD safETy: fitting a child seat: general information
Some seats are not suitable for fitting
child seats. The diagrams on the fol-
lowing pages show you how to attach
a child seat.
The types of child seats 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.

– on equipped vehicles, push the seat
back as far as possible;
– on equipped vehicles, tilt the seat-
back slightly (approximately 25°);

After installing the child seat, when this
is possible, you can move the vehi-
cle seat forward if necessary (so as to
leave enough space in the rear seats
for passengers or other child seats). In
the case of a rear-facing child seat, do
not let it touch the dashboard or move it
to the furthest forward position.
Do not change other settings after in-
stalling the child seat.
