CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat, general information

In the rear 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 to install a rear-facing child
seat, then move back the seat in front
as far as it will go, although without al-
lowing it to come into contact with the
child seat.
For the safety of a child in the facing
forwards, move the seat as far back as
possible and move the seat in front of
the child forward, remembering to move
the seatback forwards to avoid contact
between the seat and the child's legs.
Always remove the headrest from the
rear seat on which the child seat is po-
sitioned. ➥ 3.42. If necessary, position
the rear vehicle seat as far back as pos-
sible. This must be done before fitting
the child seat.
Check that the child seat is resting
against the back of the vehicle seat.
When fitting a child seat
(Group 2 or 3 booster seat),
check that the seat belts
operate (wind) correctly:
➥ 1.29. If necessary, adjust the posi-
tion of the vehicle seat.
Ensure that the child seat
or the child's feet do not
prevent the front seat from
locking correctly. ➥ 1.20 or
➥ 3.44.
(2/2)
A child seat with floor sup-
ports must never be in-
stalled on the rear centre

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS

Fit the child seat in a rear

To install an ISOFIX seat in
this seat, detach the central
seat belt by hand before engaging
the bolts.
