Child seat


Introduction
To reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident, children must be trans-
ported in child seats!
The information in this Owner´s Manual as well as the instructions of the child
seat manufacturer must be observed when installing and using the child seat.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you always transport child seats on
the rear seats. Children should be transported on the front passenger seat only
in exceptional circumstances.
Child seats complying with the ECE-R 44 Economic Commission for Europe
standard must be used.
Child seats that comply with the ECE-R 44 standard have a test seal that can-
not be removed: A large letter E in a circle, with the test number underneath.
WARNING
One should never carry children - or indeed babies - on one's lap.
■
When leaving the vehicle, do not leave children unattended in the vehicle.
■
They might not be capable of leaving the vehicle or helping themselves in-
dependently in the event of an emergency. Can be fatal at very high or very
low temperatures!
The child must be secured in the vehicle during the entire journey! Other-
■
wise, the child would be thrown through the vehicle in the event of an acci-
dent, causing fatal injuries to both the child and other occupants.
Children are exposed to an increased risk of injury in the event of an acci-
■
dent if they lean forward or adopt an incorrect seated position when the
vehicle is moving. This particularly applies to children who are transported
on the front passenger seat as they can suffer severe, or even fatal injuries
if the airbag system is deployed!
Pay particular attention to the information provided by the manufacturer
■
of the child safety seat regarding the correct routing of the belt. Seat belts
which are not correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries even in mi-
nor accidents.
