Main safety rules to be followed
when carrying children:
❍ Install the child seats on the rear seat, which is the most pro-
tected position in the event of an accident;
❍ when the passenger-side front air bag is deactivated always
check that the F warning light remains permanently lit to
confirm the deactivation;
❍ carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child restraint
system, which are mandatory by law. Keep the instructions in
the car along with the other papers and this handbook. Do
not use second-hand child seats without instructions;
❍ always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling the belt;
SAFETY
❍ only one child is to be strapped to each retaining system;
❍ always check the seat belts do not rest around the child's throat;
❍ while travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or release the
belts;
❍ Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-one could
hold on to a child in the event of an accident;
❍ In the event of an accident, replace the child seat with a new
one.
