CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting

(2/2)

4

The third ring 3, 4 and 5 (for long chas-

sis versions) or 6 (for short chassis ver-

sions) is used to attach the upper strap

on some ISOFIX seats.

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 ob-

structing the anchorage points.

If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage

points checked and replace your child seat.

Attachment using the ISOFIX

system (continued)

The two rings 1 are located between

the seatback and the seat base of the

seat and are identified by a marking.

To ensure your child seat can be easily

fitted and locked on the rings 1, use

access guides 2 on the child seat.

5

The rings are located on the floor and

indicated by markings on the luggage

compartment carpet. To access these

anchoring points, push the rear seat

forward and lift the cover if necessary.
Note: for 7-seater vehicles, the rings

are located on the luggage compart-

ment floor and are visible.
In all cases, attach the strap hook to the

corresponding ring (3 and 4 for the rear

side seats and 5 or 6 for the rear centre

seat) and place the seat in the desired

position.
Tighten the strap so that the child seat-

back is in contact with the back of the

vehicle seat. Do not make any further

adjustments to the seat position set-

tings.

6

The child seat strap must

be attached to the corre-

sponding ring.
Do not use any other

mounting point.

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat

(1/11)

In the front seat
The laws concerning children travel-

ling in the front passenger seat differ in

every country. Consult the legislation in

force and follow the indications on the

diagram on the following page.
Before fitting a child seat in this seat (if

authorised):

– lower the seat belt as far as possible;

– move the seat as far back as possi-

ble;

– gently tilt the seatback away from

vertical (approximately 25°);

– on equipped vehicles, raise the seat

base as far as possible.

Do not change these settings after the

child seat is installed.

Some seats are not suitable for fitting

child seats. The diagram on the follow-

ing page shows you how to attach a

child seat.
The types of child seats indicated may

not be available. Before using a differ-

ent child seat, check with the manufac-

turer that it can be fitted.

Fit the child seat in a rear

seat wherever possible.
Check that when installing

the child seat in the vehicle

it is not at risk of coming loose from

its base.
If you have to remove the headrest,

check that it is correctly stored so

that it does not come loose under

harsh braking or impact.
Always attach the child seat to the

vehicle even if it is not in use so that

it does not come loose under harsh

braking or impact.

RISK OF DEATH OR

SERIOUS INJURY: before

fitting a rear-facing child

seat to this seat, check

that the air bag has been deacti-

vated (refer to the information on

“Child safety: deactivating/activat-

ing the front passenger air bag” in

Section 1).

1.36

CHILD SAFETY: fitting a child seat

(2/11)

In the rear seat
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.
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 al-

lowing it to come into contact with the

child seat.
For the safety of the child in the for-

ward-facing seat, do not move the seat

in front back past the middle of the

runner, do not tilt the seatback too far

(maximum of 25°) and move the seat

backwards as far as possible.
Check that the child seat is resting

against the back of the vehicle seat and

that the headrest of the vehicle is not

obstructing its use.
For 7-seater vehicles, the second row

rear seats must be pushed forward

before a child is seated in the third row

rear seats.

In the rear centre seat
Some child seats are too wide to allow

access to the seat belt buckles. Check

that your child seat can be fitted in this

seat.
When fitting an ISOFIX child seat in

this place, ensure that the two seat

belt buckles are placed flat under the

child seat, except in the case of booster

seats attached to the ISOFIX locks,

whose fitting is authorised

Ensure that the child seat

or the child’s feet do not

prevent the front seat from

locking correctly. Refer to

the information on the “Front seat”

in Section 1 or “Rear seat operation”

in Section 3.

The floor of your vehicle

has storage spaces. Before

installing a child seat with

a floor support, ensure that

this seat can be correctly installed

by consulting the list of compatible

vehicles supplied with the child seat.
Risk of serious injury in the event of

sudden braking or accident.

When fitting a child seat

(Group 2 or 3 booster seat),

check that the seat belts op-

erate (wind) correctly: refer

to Section 1 “Rear seat belts”. If

necessary, adjust the position of the

vehicle seat.

protection of the front passenger in the

event of an impact.

To reactivate the air bag: when the

STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING

Operating faults
The steering may become stiff when

driving or when the steering wheel is

turned repeatedly. This is due to the

power assistance overheating. In this

case, it must be allowed to cool down.

Power-assisted steering

Variable power-assisted steering
The variable power-assisted steering

system is equipped with an electronic

control system which alters the level of

assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking

manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst

the force needed to steer increases

progressively as the speed rises (for

enhanced safety at high speeds).

Adjusting the steering wheel

height and depth

Pull lever 1 and move the steering

wheel to the required position.
Then, push the lever back fully, beyond

the point of resistance to lock the steer-

ing wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is

correctly locked.

For safety reasons, only

adjust the steering wheel

when the vehicle is station-

ary.

Never leave the steering wheel at

full lock while stationary.

Never switch off the igni-

tion when travelling down-

hill, and avoid doing so in

normal driving (assistance

is not provided).

With the engine switched off, or if

there is a system fault, it is still pos-

sible to turn the steering wheel. The

force required will be greater.
