CHILD SAFETY
(continued)
CHILD SAFETY
- No modifications may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts, seats and their
mountings) originally fitted.
- Carefully follow the instructions for fitting provided by the manufacturer of the restraint system.
- Always avoid dressing the child in bulky garments and do not place any objects between the child and the restraint
system.
- The seat belt in the vehicle must be tight enough so that the child's seat is held in position securely. Check the tension
regularly.
- Never wear the belt under the arm or behind the back.
- The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child's size.
- Never allow your child to stand up or kneel on the seats while the vehicle is moving.
- Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when they are asleep.
- Use the seat belts to hold the seat in position, even if it is not occupied. Otherwise, if an accident were to occur, it may
become dislodged and pose a risk to other vehicle occupants.
- Following a serious accident, have the seat belts and restraint systems in use at the time checked.
- Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if they are in a restraining device.
- Activate the rear door locks (if your vehicle is equipped with these).
- Make sure the child does not get out of the vehicle at the side where there is traffic.
- Set your children a good example - always wear your seat belt.
