Below Is A Summary Of The Safety Rules To Be Observed When Carrying Children; Presetting For Installing The “Isofix Type” Child Restraint System - Alfa Romeo 156 Owner's Manual

Below is a summary of the safety
rules to be observed when carry-
ing children:
1) The recommended position for in-
stalling a child's seat is on the rear seat, as
it is the most protected in the event of a
crash.
WARNING
If a passenger's air bag is
installed, children should
never travel on the front seat.
2) If the passenger's air bag is deactivated
always check that deactivation has taken
place through the special warning light F.
3) Carefully follow the instructions pro-
vided with the child's seat, which the sup-
plier is obliged to attach. Keep them in the
car together with the documents and this
booklet. Do not use used seats without the
instructions for use.
4) Always pull the tape to check that the
belts are buckled.
5) All restraint systems are strictly for one
child only: never use for two children at the
same time.
6) Always make sure that the belts do not
rest on the child's neck.
7) During the journey, do not allow the
child to stay in abnormal positions or release
the belts.
8) Do not carry children in your arms, not
even small babies. No-one, however strong,
can keep hold of them in a crash.
9) In the case of accidents, replace the
child's seat with a new one.
PRESETTING FOR INSTALLING
THE "ISOFIX TYPE" CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
The car is created preset for mounting the
Isofix type child restraint system. Isofix is
a new European standardised system for car-
rying children. Isofix type child restraint sys-
tem is an additional option that does not
prevent from using traditional child restraint
systems. Isofix type child restraint system
covers three weight groups: 0, 0+ and 1.
Due to its different anchoring system, the
Isofix type child's seat should be anchored
using only the proper brackets provided for
the purpose in the car.
It is possible to mount both the traditional
restraint system and the Isofix type one, one
on the left and the other on the right, for ex-
ample.
Since sizes are different, it is possible to
install max two Isofix type child's seats us-
ing the proper couplings on the rear seat
or three traditional child's seats using the
seat belts. On the front passenger seat it is
possible to mount only traditional child's
seats.
