When The Child Restraint System Is Not In Use - Subaru 2014 BRZ Owner's Manual

1-7. Safety information
WARNING
Child restraint precautions
I
Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body
G
against the door or the area of the seat, front and rear pillars or roof side
rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain airbags deploy even
if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS
side airbags and curtain airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death
or serious injury to the child.
Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by
G
the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If
it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child
in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.
When children are in the vehicle
I
Do not allow children to play with the seatbelt. If the seatbelt becomes
twisted around a child’' s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.

When the child restraint system is not in use

I
Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is
G
not in use. Do not store the restraint unsecured in the passenger compart-
ment.
If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the
G
vehicle or store it securely in the trunk. This will prevent it from injuring
passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
