Fitting A Child Seat - Renault Modus Handbook

CHILD SAFeTy: fitting a child seat
Some seats are not suitable for fitting
child seats. The diagrams on the fol-
lowing pages show you how to attach
a child seat.
The types of child seats indicated may
not be available. Before using a differ-
ent child seat, check with the manufac-
turer that it can be fitted.
Fit the child seat in a rear
seat wherever possible.
Check that when installing
the child seat in the vehicle
it is not at risk of coming loose from
its base.
If you have to remove the headrest,
check that it is correctly stored so
that it does not come loose under
harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the
vehicle even if it is not in use so that
it does not come loose under harsh
braking or impact.

diagrams on the following pages.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if
authorised):
– lower the seat belt as far as possible;
– move the seat as far back as possi-
ble;
– gently tilt the seatback away from
vertical (approximately 25°);
– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat
base as far as possible.
Do not change these settings after the
child seat is installed.

vated (refer to the information on
"Deactivating the front passenger
air bags" in Section 1).

Carrycots can only be fitted in the
3-seater position and will take up at
least two seats. Position the child with
his or her feet nearest the door.
Push the vehicle seat fully forwards
to install a rear-facing child seat, then
push it back as far as possible with-
out allowing it to make contact with the
child seat. For the safety of the child in
the forward-facing seat, do not move
the seat in front back past the middle of
the runner, do not tilt the seatback too
far (maximum of 25°) and raise the seat
as much as possible.
Always move the (sliding) bench seat
back as far as possible. The floor sup-
port of the child seat should rest of the
floor in accordance with the child seat
instructions. A booster cushion may be
fitted on the TRIPTIC bench seat, using
the ISOFIX locks and the seat belt, in
the 2-seater position only.
