Children under 12 should travel on the rear seat. They must be protected by a child restraint system which complies with the European standard ECE-R 44 and is suitable for the child’s height and weight. The safest place for the child restraint system is behind the front passenger’s seat.

WARNING!

Please follow the instructions in the Owner’s
