Some seats are not suitable for fitting child seats. The following diagrams show you how to attach a child seat.

The types of child seats indicated may not be available. Before using a different child seat, check with the manufacturer that it can be fitted.

warning

Fit the child seat in a rear seat.

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.

In the Front seat

The laws concerning children travelling in the front passenger seat differ in every country. Consult the current legislation and observe the indications on the following diagrams.

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 possible;
  • gently tilt the seatback away from vertical (approximately 25°);
  • on equipped vehicles, raise the seat base as far as possible.

After installing the child seat, when this is possible, you can move the vehicle seat forward if necessary (so as to leave enough space in the rear seats for passengers or other child seats). For a rear-facing child seat, do not let it touch the dashboard or move it to the furthest forward position.

Do not change other settings after installing the child seat.

warning

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: before fitting a rear-facing child seat in this seat, make sure that the front passenger airbag has been deactivated.

In the rear side seat

A carrycot can be installed across the vehicle and will take up at least two seats. Position the child with his or her feet nearest the door.

Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install a rear-facing child seat, then move back the seat in front as far as it will go, although without allowing it to come into contact with the child seat.

For the safety of the child in the forward facing position :

  • move the relevant seat backwards as far as possible ;
  • move the seat in front of the child forwards, and set the position of the seatback to avoid contact between the seat and the child’s legs.
warning

Make sure that the child seat or the child’s feet do not prevent the front seat from locking correctly.

Always remove the headrest from the rear seat on which the child seat is positioned.If necessary, position the rear seat as far back as possible.

This must be done before fitting the child seat. Check that the child seat is resting against the back of the rear seat.

warning

Fit the child seat in a rear seat wherever possible.

To install an ISOFIX seat in this seat, unbuckle the seat belt by hand before engaging the bolts.

warning

Installing a booster seat (group 2 or 3)

Check the operation (rolling up) of the seat belt Seat belts.

Adjust the seat belt by positioning :

  • the shoulder strap on the child’s shoulder without touching the neck ;
  • the lap belt so that it lies flat on the thighs and against the pelvis.

If necessary, adjust the position of the vehicle seat.

warning

Fitting a seat ISOFIX in the rear-left seat means the middle seat cannot be used. The central seat belt will no longer be either accessible or useable.
