Below is a summary of the safety
regulations to be followed for
transporting children:
Children whose age, weight and
height are below the minimum limits
established by the laws in force in the
individual countries (European
Community: 3 years, 36 kg and 150 cm)
may only travel if secured using
suitable restraint systems. We
recommend that you always fit any
restraint system on the rear seat, as this
is the safest position in the event of a
collision.
If the vehicle is equipped with active
passenger airbags, children may not
travel on the front seat in a rearward-
facing child seat.
When deactivating the passenger-side
airbag, always check that the relative
warning light on the instrument
panel and the LED A on the roof panel
are illuminated, as this indicates that
the airbag has been deactivated.
Always and strictly follow the
*
instructions which the manufacturer is
*
obliged by law to enclose with the
seat.
*
Keep the instructions in the vehicle
*
together with the documents and this
handbook. Do not use a seat which
does not have any instructions for use.
