Renault Clio: Choosing a child/baby seat mounting
Renault Clio IV (2014-2019) Owners Manual / Getting to know your vehicle / Child safety / Choosing a child/baby seat mounting
There are two ways of attaching child seats: via the seat belt or using the ISOFIX system.
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to ensure that it is effective in the event of harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated by the child seat manufacturer are respected.
Always check that the seat belt is correctly fastened by pulling it up, then pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by moving it from side to side and back to front: the seat should remain firmly fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been installed at an angle and that it is not resting against a window.
| Do not use the child seat if it may unfasten the seat belt restraining it: the base of the seat must not rest on the buckle and/or catch of the seat belt. |
| Before using an ISOFIX child seat that you purchased for another vehicle, check that its installation is authorised. Consult the list of vehicles which can be fitted with the seat from the equipment manufacturer. |
| The seat belt must never
be twisted or the tension
relieved. Never pass the
shoulder strap under the
arm or behind the back. Check that the seat belt has not been damaged by sharp edges. If the seat belt does not operate normally, it will not protect the child. Consult an approved dealer. Do not use this seat until the seat belt has been repaired. |
Attachment using the ISOFIX system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are approved in accordance with regulation ECE-R44 in one of the three following cases:
- ISOFIXuniversal 3-point forward-facing seat;
- ISOFIXsemi-universal 2-point seat;
- specific.
For the latter two, check that your child seat can be installed by consulting the list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings and, in some cases, a third ring.
| No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (seat belts, ISOFIX and seats and their mountings) originally fitted. |
The two rings 1 are located between the seatback and the seat base of the seat and are identified by a marking.
The third ring 4 is used to attach the upper strap on some child seats.
Rear seats
The 2 belt should be positioned between
the seatback and the rear parcel
shelf. To do this, remove the rear parcel
shelf (refer to the information on the
“Rear parcel shelf” in Section 3). Attach
the hook to one of the 4 rings, identified
using the 
symbol. Depending
on the vehicle, unclip cover 3 from the
mobile floor to access the ring.
| The ISOFIX anchorage points have been exclusively designed for child
seats with the ISOFIX system. Never fit a different type of child seat,
seat
belt or other objects to these anchorage points. Check that nothing is obstructing the anchorage points. If your vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorage points checked and replace your child seat. |
Pull the belt 2 so that the back of the child seat comes into contact with the vehicle seatback.
| Check that the seatback
of the forward-facing child
seat is in contact with the
back of the vehicle seat. In this case, the child seat may not always rest on the base of the vehicle seat. |
