Before Starting
Summary of Children Safety
Transporting Regulations:
Children up to 12 years old or under
1.50 m (5 ft) may only travel if secured,
using adequate child restraint systems.

We recommend to always fit any child
restraint system on the rear seats
outer, as this is the safest position in
the event of a collision.
Do not fit any CRS on rear centre
seating position.
If the vehicle is equipped with active
passenger air bags, do not place
rearward-facing infant seats on front
seat.
When deactivating the passenger-side
air bag, always check the illumination
of the warning light
display of the instrument cluster and
on the overhead console, indicating
the air bag has been deactivated (see
"Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) -
Air bags" in this section).
Strictly follow the instructions which
the manufacturer is obliged to provide
with the child restraint system.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle
together with the documents and
this owner's manual. Do not use a
child restraint system which does not
comprehend any instructions for use.

Installing Child Restraint
Systems using the Vehicle Seat
Belt equipped with ALR
The passenger seat belts are equipped
with an Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR) to secure child protection
through a Child Restraint System (CRS).
These types of seat belts are designed
to keep the lap portion of the seat belt
tight around the child restraint seat
avoiding to use a locking clip.
The ALR will make a ratcheting noise
if the entire belt is pulled out of the
retractor in order to enable the belt
retracting subsequently. For additional
information on ALR, see "Using Seat
Belt in Automatic Locking Retractor
in the TFT
Mode (ALR)" in "Occupants Restraint
Systems" in this section.
To install a Child Restraint System with
ALR, pull enough of the belt out of
the retractor leading it through the
belt path of the protection device.
Slide the latch into the buckle until it
clicks. Remove then the entire safety
belt from the retractor in order to
rewound. While rewinding a click
will indicate the safety belt is now in
Automatic Locking mode.
Exert then a traction on the exceeded
lap section of the belt in order to
tighten it around the child restraint
seat. All seat belts will loosen over
time, it is therefore necessary to
check them periodically and set them
properly.
Isofix Universal Child Restraint
Your vehicle's side rear seats are all
equipped with Isofix anchorages.
The Isofix Universal system allows the
child restraint systems to be fixed
without using the vehicle's seat belts,
instead fixing the child restraint system
to the vehicle structure, using lower
anchorages A and upper tether strap
B.
NOTE:
Remember that when using a Isofix
Universal child seat, you can only use
approved child seats with the marking
ECE R44 " Isofix Universal " (03 release
