² Seat which does not allow a child seat to be fitted.

Child seat fitted using the ISOFIX mounting

Seat which allows a ISOFIX or i-Size child seat to be attached.

± The front and rear seats are equipped with an anchorage point allowing a universal forward-facing child seat ISOFIX to be attached. The anchoring points are located on the passenger seatback for the front seat and on the bench seatback for the rear seats.

For the front passenger seat, the use of a child seat with a floor support is recommended to avoid triggering the seat belt warning signal.

Using a child safety system which is not approved for this vehicle will not correctly protect the baby or child. They risk serious or even fatal injury.

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.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY:

after fitting a rear facing child seat on the front passenger seat, check that the airbag has been deactivated PASSENGER DETECTION SYSTEM CHILD SAFETY: deactivating, activating front passenger airbag.

Do not fit a child seat when the large seat back is in the folded position.

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.

The table below summarises the information already shown on the diagram on the previous page, to ensure the regulations in force are respected.

X = Seat not suitable for fitting child seats.

U = Seat allowing a child seat with “Universal” approval to be attached by the seat belt; check that it can be fitted.

IUF/IL = On equipped vehicles, seat which allows a child seat with “Universal/Semi-universal or vehicle-specific” approval to be fitted using the ISOFIX system; check that it can be fitted.

(2) 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.

(3) Raise the seat to the maximum and position it as far back as possible, tilting the seatback slightly (approximately 25°).

(4) If necessary, position the vehicle seat as far back as possible. In order to install a rear-facing child seat, move the front seat as far forward as possible, then move the front seat back as far as it will go, without allowing it to come into contact with the child seat.

(5) In all situations, remove the rear headrest of the seat on which the child seat is positioned. This must be done before fitting the child seat. Move the seat in front of the child forwards, move the seatback forward to avoid contact between the seat and the child's legs.
