178 Child safety
WARNING
Never install a rearward-facing child safety seat on the front
passenger's seat if the front passenger's airbag has not been deac-
tivated ⇒ page 176. This can result in serious or possibly fatal
injury.
Child safety seats: category 2/3
A suitable child safety seat and a correctly worn seat belt
can protect your child.
Children up to about 12 years of age weighing between 15 and 36 kg
but less than 1.5 metres tall are best protected by a child safety seat
in conjunction with the three-point seat belts ⇒ fig. 188 and
⇒ fig. 189.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and observe any statutory
requirements when installing and using child restraints
⇒ page 175, "Important safety notes for using child safety seats".
WARNING
The diagonal part of the belt should be positioned roughly over the
centre of the shoulder and fit closely against the upper part of the
body. It must never be allowed to run across the neck. The lap part
of the belt should fit closely over the hips. It must not be posi-
tioned over the stomach. Pull the belt tight if necessary to take up
any slack.
Note
We recommend that you fit child safety seats with backrests.
