Child Safety - PEUGEOT 405 Owner's Manual

CHILD SAFETY

Note: 7 or 8 years old people or less
are considered as child since the ratio
of their head weight to body weight
is different. In a sudden decrease of
2
vehicle speed, head weight of children
can cause serious injury to their spinal
column due to the weakness of their
neck muscles. Children of above 10
years or children with height of 135 cm
only can be considered as youngster.
That's why there are certain rules and
regulations in most of the countries to
travel for children.
Warning
No object should be in the floor of the
vehicle (driver front side), otherwise
it may become caught under the
pedal, during a sudden and forcefully
brake, and prevent using the pedals.
