Installing a booster seat


The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
We recommend using a booster seat with
a backrest, equipped with a belt guide at
shoulder level.

Additional protections

To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear
windows.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- a child or children alone and
unattended in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with the
windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
