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 in the TFT
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
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
Before Starting
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
System
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.
