CHILD SAFETY
(continued)
CHILD SAFETY
• No modifications may be made to the original component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their
mountings).
• 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 to hold the child's seat in position securely. Check the tension regularly.
• Never wear the belt under your arm or behind your 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, check the seat belts or the ISOFIX seat mounting and replace the child seat.
• Never leave a child unsupervised in a vehicle, even if they are in a restraining device.
• Lock the rear doors (if your vehicle is equipped with the function).
• 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.
