Warnings about fitting a child seat

Take the following general warnings into ac-
count if you are going to fit a child seat. They
are valid for all child seats regardless of their
attachment system.
Please read and follow the child seat man-
●
ufacturer's operating instructions.
The child seat should preferably be fitted to
●
the rear seat behind the front passenger seat
so that the child can exit the vehicle on the
pavement side.
Set the height of the seat belt such that it
●
adapts to the child seat naturally, without
twisting. The lowest position of the seat belt
height regulator must be used with rear-fac-
ing child seats.
To correctly use a child seat in the back,
●
the front backrest must be adjusted so that
there is no contact with the child seat in the
back in the case that it goes opposite to the
direction of the car. In the case of front facing
restraint systems, the front backrest must be
adjusted so that there is no contact with the
child's feet.
If a semi-universal type chair is to be instal-
●
led, in which the method of attachment to the
car is through the seat belt and support
bracket, it should never be installed in the
central rear seat as the ground clearance is
lower than in other places and the support
bracket will not allow the seat to remain suffi-
ciently stable.
When fitting a child seat on the front pas-
●
senger seat, the seat must be moved back-
wards as far as possible and placed in the
highest position. The backrest must also be
put in a vertical position .
