ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
Operating Faults
Indicator light 1 lights up when the ignition is switched on and goes out after a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or if it lights up while the engine is running,
this indicates a fault in the system.
In this case, fitting a child seat in the front passenger seat is PROHIBITED.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as possible. Your protection will be reduced until the fault
has been rectified.
CHILD SAFETY: General Information (1/2)
Carrying Children
Children, and adults, must be correctly seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehicle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet finished growing. The seat belt alone would not
provide suitable protection. Use an approved child seat and ensure it is used correctly.
A collision at 30 mph (50 km/h) is equivalent to falling from a height of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without a restraint is similar to allowing them to play on a
fourth-floor balcony without railings.
- Never travel with a child held in your arms.
- In the event of an accident, you will not be able to hold the child securely, even if you are wearing a seat belt.
- If your vehicle has been involved in an accident, replace the child seat and have the seat belts and ISOFIX fittings checked.
- Never leave a child unattended in the vehicle.
Important Safety Advice
- Ensure your child is always strapped in properly.
- Check that the belt or safety harness is correctly adjusted.
- Avoid bulky clothing which may loosen the belts.
- Never allow a child to put their head or arms out of the window.
- Check that the child remains in the correct position during the entire journey, especially if asleep.
To prevent the doors from being opened, use the childproof locks
(refer to the information on “Locking/unlocking the doors†in Section 1).
CHILD SAFETY: General Information (2/2)
Using a Child Seat
The level of protection offered by the child seat depends on its ability to restrain
your child and on its correct installation. Incorrect installation compromises the
protection offered in the event of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a child seat, check that it complies with the regulations for the
country you are in and that it can be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an approved
dealer to find out which seats are recommended for your vehicle.
Before installing a child seat, read the manual carefully and follow its instructions.
If you experience difficulties during installation, contact the manufacturer of the
equipment. Always keep the instructions with the seat.
Set a Good Example
- Always fasten your own seat belt.
- Teach your child to strap themselves in correctly.
- Teach children to get in and out of the car from the kerb side, away from traffic.
- Do not use a second-hand child seat without an instruction manual.
- Check that there are no objects around the child seat that could interfere with its operation.
- Never leave a child unattended in the vehicle.
- Ensure your child is properly strapped in with the harness or belt correctly adjusted.
- Avoid bulky clothing which could loosen the belts.
- Never allow your child to put their head or arms out of the window.
- Ensure the child remains in the correct seating position throughout the journey.
