Fitting diagram
² Seat which does not allow a child seat to be fitted.
Child seat fitted using the ISOFIX mounting
Seat which allows an ISOFIX child seat to be fitted.
± The rear seats are fitted with an anchorage point which allows a forward-facing ISOFIX child seat with universal approval to be attached. The anchorage points are located on the backs of the rear seats.
Using a child safety system which is not approved for this vehicle will not correctly protect the baby or child. They risk serious or even fatal injury.
The table below summarises the information already shown on the diagram on the previous pages, to ensure the regulations in force are respected.
Type of child seat | Weight of the child | Seat size ISOFIX | Front passenger seat | Rear side seats | Rear centre seat |
Carrycot fitted across the vehicle Group 0 | < 10 kg | F, G | X | X | X |
Rear-facing shell seat Groups 0 or 0 + | < 10 kg and < 13 kg | E | X | IL (1) | X |
Shell seat/rear-facing seat Groups 0+ and 1 | < 13 kg and 9 to 18 kg | C, D | X | IL (1) | X |
Forward-facing seat Group 1 | 9 to 18 kg | A, B, B1 | X | IUF - IL (2) | X |
Booster seat Groups 2 and 3 | 15 to 25 kg and 22 to 36 kg | X | IUF - IL (2) | X | |

X = Seat not suitable for fitting child seats ISOFIX.
IUF/IL = On equipped vehicles, seat which allows an approved “Universal/semi-universal” or “vehicle specific” child seat to be attached using the ISOFIX system; check that it can be fitted.
i-U = Suitable for the i-Size restraint devices in the “universal” forward-facing and backward-facing category.
(1) If necessary, position the vehicle seat as far back as possible. 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 allowing it to come into contact with the child seat.
(2) In all situations, remove the rear headrest of the seat on which the child seat is positioned. This must be done before fitting the child seat. Please refer to the information on the “Rear headrests” in Section 3. Move the seat in front of the child forwards, move the seatback forward to avoid contact between the seat and the child’s legs.

- A, B and B1: for forward-facing seats in group 1 (9 to 18 kg);
