IMPORTANT For Italian market<br />
only (foreign countries excluded), the<br />
cabs of vehicle for carrying passengers<br />
(combi and panorama), are suitable for<br />
fitting child restraint systems of the<br />
“Universal” category, according to European<br />
Standard ECE-R44 for the tabulated<br />
groups.<br />
Below is a summary of the rules<br />
of safety to be followed for carrying<br />
children:<br />
1) The recommended position for<br />
installing child’s seat is on the rear seat,<br />
as it is the most protected in the case<br />
of a crash;<br />
2) In vehicles fitted with passenger<br />
airbag, never place child’s restraint<br />
systems on the front seat.<br />
3) If the passenger’s airbag is deactivated<br />
always check the warning light<br />
F on the instrument panel to make<br />
sure that it has actually been deactivated.<br />
4) Attain to the instructions for fastening<br />
the specific child restraint system<br />
which you are using. These instructions<br />
must be provided by the<br />
manufacturer. Keep the child restraint<br />
system installation instructions with<br />
the vehicle documents and with this<br />
Handbook. Never use a child restraint<br />
system without installation instructions.<br />
5) Always check the seat belt is well<br />
fastened by pulling the webbing.<br />
6) Only one child is to be strapped<br />
to each retaining system.<br />
7) Always check the seat belts do<br />
not fit around the child’s throat.<br />
8) While travelling, do not let the<br />
child sit incorrectly or release the<br />
belts.<br />
9) Passengers should never carry<br />
children on their laps. No-one, however<br />
strong they are, can hold a child<br />
in the event of a crash.<br />
10) Replace the child restraint system<br />
after an accident.<br />
WARNING<br />
With passenger’s air bag<br />
active, never place child’s<br />
seats with the cradle facing backwards<br />
since the air bag activation<br />
could cause to the child serious injuries,<br />
even mortal, regardless of the<br />
seriousness of the crash that triggered<br />
it. You are advised to carry<br />
children always with proper restraint<br />
systems on the rear seats, as<br />
this is the most protected position<br />
in the case of a crash.<br />
