NOTE: Inflation and deflation of the front airbags

 Even if the vehicle is equipped with airbags, you

IMPORTANT

It is recommended that children should always be


seated in the rear of the vehicle in a child safety seat

travel in the front, it is essential that the vehicle seat
is set fully rearwards and that the child is seated in a

correct way, no matter where the child is seated.
Remember that, in the event of a collision or heavy
