Child Restraint; Booster Seat - Suzuki SX4 Owner's Manual

Child restraint
EXAMPLE
Booster seat
EXAMPLE
SUZUKI highly recommends that you use
a child restraint system to restrain infants
and small children. Many different types of
child restraint systems are available; make
sure that the restraint system you select
meets applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by either seat
belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap-
shoulder belts) or by special rigid lower
anchor bars built into the seat. Whenever
possible, SUZUKI recommends that child
restraint systems be installed on the rear
seat. According to accident statistics, chil-
65D197
dren are safer when properly restrained in
rear seating positions than in front seating
positions.
If you must use a front-facing child restraint
in the front passenger's seat, adjust the
passenger's seat as far back as possible.
(For EU Countries)
When purchasing a child restraint and
install it to your SUZUKI, refer to the infor-
mation about suitability for child restrains
shown in "Child Restraint System for EU
Countries" in this section.
The child restraint installation to this model
is limited to the left position of the rear seat
65D203
except ISOFIX type child restraint of the
group 1; child weight 9 to 18kg.
NOTE:
Observe any statutory regulation about
child restraints.
BEFORE DRIVING

A.
WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with a
front passenger air bag, do not install
a rear-facing child restraint in the
front passenger's seat. If the passen-
ger's air bag inflates, a child in a rear-
facing child restraint could be killed
or seriously injured. The back of a
rear-facing child restraint would be
too close to the inflating air bag.
A.
WARNING
If you install a child restraint system
in the rear seat, slide the front seat
for enough forward so that the child's
feet do not contact the front seat-
back. This will help avoid injury to the
child in the event of an accident.
