Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if the children are secured in a
child restraint system. Unsupervised
children in a child restraint system may use
vehicle equipment and may cause an
accident and/or serious personal injury.
Child seat anchors – LATCH-type
This vehicle is equipped with two LATCH
(Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren)
type anchors (at each of the rear seats) for
the installation of a LATCH-type child seat
with matching mounting fittings.
i
Your cabriolet does not have and is not re-
quired to have anchorage rings for a child seat's
top tether strap in the rear seating positions.
Child seats can be used with the seat belt, or
lower anchor system and seat belt, fully in accor-
dance with the child seat manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
i
The child seat must be firmly attached in the
right and left side anchor 2 ( page 85).
Warning!
Children too big for a toddler restraint must
ride in seats using regular seat belts.
Position shoulder belt across chest and
shoulder, not face or neck.
A booster seat may be necessary to achieve
proper belt positioning for children over
41 lbs until they reach a height where a
lap/shoulder belt fits properly without a
booster.
Install child seat according to manufactur-
er's instructions.
The child seat must be firmly attached to the
right and left side anchor.
An incorrectly mounted child seat may come
loose during an accident which could result
in serious injury or death to the child.
Damaged or impact damaged child seats or
child seat anchor fittings must be replaced.
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, even if the children are secured in a
child restraint system.
