Child seats - location
Always fit child seats/booster cushions (p. 44)
in the rear seat if the passenger airbag is acti-
vated (p. 33). If a child is sitting on the front
passenger seat then he/she could suffer seri-
ous injury if the airbag deploys.
The warning label for the passenger airbag is
fitted in one of the following two locations in
the car:
Alternative 1: Position of airbag label on passen-
ger side sun visor.
Alternative 2: Position of airbag label on passen-
ger side door pillar. The label becomes visible
when the passenger door is opened.
You may place:
•
a child seat/booster cushion on the front
passenger seat provided there is no acti-
vated airbag on the front passenger side.
•
one or more child seats/booster cushions
in the rear seat.
WARNING
Never use a rear-facing child seat on a
seat protected by an activated airbag. Fail-
ure to follow this advice can lead to death
or serious injury to the child.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a
booster cushion in the front seat if the air-
bag is activated.
Never allow anybody to stand or sit in front
of the front passenger seat.
No one shorter than 140 cm should ever
sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag
is activated.
Failure to follow the advice given above
can endanger life.
WARNING
Booster cushions/child seats with steel
braces or some other design that could
rest on the seatbelt buckle's opening but-
ton must not be used, as they could cause
the seatbelt buckle to open accidentally.
Do not allow the upper section of the child
seat to rest against the windscreen.
