Child Seats - Seat ibiza Owner's Manual

Never allow a child to be transported in a
●
vehicle without being properly secured, or to
stand up or kneel on a seat while travelling.
In an accident, the child could be flung
through the vehicle, causing possibly fatal in-
juries to themselves and to the other vehicle
occupants.
● If children assume an improper sitting posi-
tion when the vehicle is moving, they expose
themselves to greater risk of injury in the
event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an
accident. This is particularly important if the
child is travelling on the front passenger seat
and the airbag system is triggered in an acci-
dent; as this could cause serious injury or
even death.
● A suitable child seat can protect your child!
Never leave a child alone in the child seat
●
or inside the vehicle because depending on
the season, very high temperatures may be
reached inside a parked vehicle, which could
be fatal.
Children who are less than 1.5 metres tall
●
must not wear a normal seat belt without a
child seat, as this could cause injuries to the
abdominal and neck areas during a sudden
braking manoeuvre or in an accident.
● Do not allow the seat belt to become twis-
ted and the seat belt should be properly in
›››
place page 61.
● Only one child may occupy a child seat

WARNING
The retaining rings are designed only for use
with "ISOFIX" and Top Tether* system child
seats.
Never secure other child seats that do not
●
have the "ISOFIX" or Top Tether* system, or
retaining belts or objects to the fastening
rings - this can result in potentially fatal inju-
ries to the child.
● Ensure that the child seat is secured cor-
rectly using the "ISOFIX" and Top Tether* se-
curing rings.
WARNING
An undue installation of the safety seat will
increase the risk of injury in the event of a
crash.
● Never tie the retainer strap to a hook in the
luggage compartment.
Never secure or tie luggage or other items
●
to the lower anchorages (ISOFIX) or the upper
ones (Top Tether).
