There are two ways of attaching child seats : via the seat belt or using the ISOFIX system.
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted in order to ensure it works in the event of sudden braking or impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are respected.
Always check that the seat belt is correctly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by moving it from side to side and back to front : the seat should remain firmly fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been installed at an angle and that it is not resting against a window.
warning
Do not use the child seat if it may unfasten the seat belt restraining it : the base of the seat must not rest on the buckle and/or catch of the seat belt.
warning
The seat belt must never be twisted or the tension relieved. Never pass the shoulder strap under the arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate normally, it will not protect the child. consult an approved dealer. Do not use this seat until the seat belt has been repaired.
Attachment using the ISOFIX system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are approved in accordance with regulation in force in one of the four following scenarios:
- universal ISOFIX 3-point forward-facing seat;
- semi-universal ISOFIX 2-point seat;
- specific.
- i-Size which has either:
- strap which attaches to the third ring of the seat concerned;
- or a strut that rests on the vehicle floor, compatible with the approved seat i-Size, the role of which is to prevent the child seat from moving in the event of a collision.
The rings 1 are located between the seatback and the seat base of the seat
and are identified by a
symbol.
The third ring 3 is used to attach the upper strap on some child seats.
In latter three cases check that your child seat can be installed by consulting the list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX system allows quick, easy and safe fitting. The ISOFIX system consists of two rings and, in some cases, a third ring.
warning
No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (seat belts, ISOFIX, seats and their mountings) originally fitted.
Pass the belt 2 between the seatback and the luggage compartment cover. To
do so, first remove the luggage compartment cover. Attach the belt hook to one of the
rings 3, indicated by the symbol
.
Pull the belt 2 so that the back of the child seat comes into contact with the vehicle seatback.
warning
The child seat strap must be attached to the corresponding ring. Do not use any other mounting point.
warning
Before using an ISOFIX child seat that you purchased for another vehicle, check that its installation is authorised. Consult the list of vehicles which can be fitted with the seat from the equipment manufacturer.
warning
Check that the seatback of the forward-facing child seat is in contact with the seatback of the vehicle seat. In this case, the child seat may not always rest on the seat base of the vehicle seat.
warning
The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child seats with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a different type of child seat, seat belt or other objects to these anchorage points.
Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points.
If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage points checked and replace your child seat.
