SAFETY
The research results in relation to the
best protection for children is illus-
trated in European Regulation EEC-
R44 which divides the restraint sys-
tems into five groups in addition to
making their use compulsory:
Group 0
- up to 10 kg of weight
Group 0+
- up to 13 kg of weight
Group 1
9-18 kg of weight
Group 2
15-25 kg of weight
Group 3
22-36 kg of weight
As it may be noted, the groups over-
lap partly and in fact, there are de-
vices that cover more than one weight
group.
All child restraint devices must bear
the certification data, together with
the control brand, on a solidly fixed
label which must absolutely never be
removed.
When over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems,
children are considered as adults and
have to wear the standard seat belts.
Lineaccessori Lancia includes child
restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are recom-
mended having been specifically de-
signed for Lancia cars.
SEVERE DANGER: Do
not arrange child restraint
systems facing backwards on the
front seat if a passenger airbag is
fitted. Deployment of the airbag in
an accident could cause fatal in-
juries to the baby. It is advisable to
carry children in an appropriate
restraint system on the rear seat
which is the most protected posi-
tion in the event of an accident.
Never fit child restraint systems on
the front seat if the car is provided
with passenger airbag: the airbag
could cause even fatal injury inde-
pendently from the severity of the
collision which caused the airbag
to be deployed.
WARNING
In case of need, the pas-
senger airbag can be de-
activated and children can
be place on the front seat.
It is very important to
check that the airbag has
been deactivated by means of the
amber warning light (see the chap-
ter on first and side airbags,
specifically the paragraph on pas-
senger front airbags). Move the
passenger’s seat as far back as
possible to avoid contact between
the child seat and the dashboard.
