Child seats attached using the

ISOFIX mounting

Seat which allows an ISOFIX.

child seat to be fitted.

Check the status of the air bag

before fitting a child seat or allowing a

passenger to use the seat.

Seat not suitable for fitting child

seats.

The rear seats are fitted with

an anchorage point which allows a

forward-facing ISOFIX child seat with

universal approval to be fitted. The an-

chorage points are located in the lug-

gage compartment and are visible.
The size of the ISOFIX child seat is in-

dicated by a letter:
– A, B and B1: for forward-facing seats

in group 1 (9 to 18 kg);

– C: rear-facing seats in group 1 (9 to

18 kg);

– D and E: shell seat or rear-facing

seats in group 0 or 0+ (less than

13 kg);

– F and G: carrycots in group 0 (less

than 10 kg).

Child seat attached using the belt

Seat which allows a standard-

ised “Universal” seat to be fitted using

a seat belt;

−

Seat which only allows a rear-

facing standardised “Universal” seat to

be installed using a seat belt.

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.

RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY: Before

fitting a rear-facing child

seat on the front passenger

seat, check that the airbag has been

deactivated (refer to the information

on “Child safety: front passenger

airbag deactivation/activation” in

Section 1).

(1) RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: Before fitting a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat, check

that the airbag has been deactivated (refer to the information on “Child safety: front passenger airbag deactivation/

activation” in Section 1).

The table below summarises the information already shown on the diagram on the previous page, to ensure the regula-

tions in force are respected.

1.53

X = Seat not suitable for fitting child seats.

U = Seat which allows a child seat with “Universal” approval to be installed using a seat belt; check that it can be fitted.

IUF/IL = On equipped vehicles, seat which allows an approved “Universal/semi-universal” or “vehicle specific” child seat to be at-

tached using the ISOFIX system; check that it can be fitted.

(2) Only a rear-facing child seat can be fitted in this seat: raise the seat to the maximum and position it as far back as possible,

tilting the seatback slightly (approximately 25°).

(3) A carrycot is fitted crosswise and occupies at least two seats (the child’s feet are placed nearest the door).

(4) 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.

(5) Forward-facing child seat; position the seatback of the child seat in contact with the seatback of the vehicle seat. Adjust the

headrest, or remove it if necessary. In addition, do not push the seat in front of the child further than halfway along its runners,

or incline the seatback more than 25°.

Deactivating the front

passenger air bags

(on equipped vehicles)
You must deactivate the devices in ad-

dition to the front passenger seat belt

before fitting a child seat in the front

passenger seat.

To deactivate the airbags: with the

vehicle stopped and the ignition off,

press and turn lock 1 to the OFF posi-

tion.
With the ignition on, you must check

that warning light 2 is lit on the central

display and, depending on the vehicle,

that the message “passenger airbag

off” is displayed.
NB: on equipped vehicles, the side

airbag is also deactivated.
This light remains permanently lit to

let you know that you can fit a child

seat.

CHILD SAFETY: deactivating/activating the front passenger airbag

(1/3)

The passenger air bag must

only be deactivated or acti-

vated with the ignition off.
If it is interfered with when

the vehicle is being driven, indicator

lights

and

will come

on.
Switch the ignition off then on again

to reset the air bag in accordance

with the lock.

DANGER
Since front passenger

airbag triggering and the

position of a rear-facing

child seat are incompatible, NEVER

use a restraining device for rear-

facing children on a seat with an

ACTIVATED AIRBAG in front of it.

This provides a risk of DEATH or

SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD.

1.55

CHILD SAFETY: deactivating/activating the front passenger airbag

(2/3)

The markings on the dashboard and

labels A on each side of the passen-

ger sun visor 3 (for example, the labels

shown above) will remind you of these

instructions.

DANGER
Since front passenger

airbag triggering and the

position of a rear-facing

child seat are incompatible, NEVER

use a restraining device for rear-

facing children on a seat with an

ACTIVATED AIRBAG in front of it.

This provides a risk of DEATH or

SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD.

1.56

The passenger air bag must

only be deactivated or acti-

vated with the ignition off.
If it is interfered with when

the vehicle is being driven, indicator

lights

and

will come

on.
Switch the ignition off then on again

to reset the air bag in accordance

with the lock.

Operating faults

In the event that the front passenger air

bag activation/deactivation system is

faulty, child seats must not be fitted to

the front seat.
Allowing any other passenger to sit in

that seat is not recommended.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon

as possible.

Activation of the front

passenger air bag

You should reactivate the air bag as

soon as you remove the child seat from

the front passenger seat to ensure the

protection of the front passenger in the

event of an impact.
Reactivating the airbags: with the

vehicle stopped and the ignition off,

press and turn lock 1 to the ON posi-

tion.

With the ignition on, you must check

that the warning light 2 is off.
The front passenger seat belt additional

restraint systems are activated.
