Child seats - location

Always fit child seats/booster cushions (p. 44)
in the rear seat if the passenger airbag is acti-
vated (p. 31). If a child is sitting on the front
02
passenger seat then he/she could suffer seri-
ous injury if the airbag deploys.
The label for the airbag is visible when the pas-
senger door is opened, see the illustration (p.
31).
You may place:
•
a child seat/booster cushion on the front
passenger seat provided there is no acti-
vated airbag on the front passenger side.
•
one or more child seats/booster cushions
in the rear seat.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the air-
bag (SRS) is activated.
No one shorter than 140 cm should ever
sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag
(SRS) is activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above
can endanger life.
