The diagrams are indicative and provided for
assembly purposes only. Refer to the in-
structions supplied with the child seat. Some
child restraint systems for weight groups 0 and 1
have a rear attachment to the car seat belts and their
own seat belts for securing the child. Due to their
weight, they may be dangerous if incorrectly mount-
ed (e.g. if fastened to the car seat belts with a cush-
ion in between). Follow the assembly instructions
carefully.
GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the car seat belts di-
rectly fig. 4.
The child seat is only needed to position the child correctly
with respect to the belts so that the diagonal section cross-
es the child's chest and never the neck and is snug on the
hips not the abdomen.
GROUP 3
For children from 22 kg to 36 kg the size of the child's
chest no longer requires a support to space the child's back
from the seat back.
SAFETY
Figure 4 shows proper child seat positioning on the rear
seat. Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts
like adults.
Below is a summary of the safety rules to be followed when
carrying children.
1) The recommended position for installing child seats
is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected area in
the event of a crash.
2) If the passenger's air bag is deactivated always check
the amber warning light " is lit on the instrument pan-
el to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
3) 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 child seats without in-
structions.
4) Always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling
the webbing.
5) Only one child is to be strapped to each retaining sys-
tem; never carry two children using one child seat.
6) Always check the seat belts do not rest on the child's
throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or
release the belts.
8) Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-
one, however strong, can hold a child in the event of
an accident.
9) In the event of an accident, replace the child's seat with
a new one.
