CHILD SAFETY
(continued)
CHILD SAFETY
• No modifications may be made to the originally fitted parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their
mountings).
• Follow carefully the fitting instructions 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 car must be taut so that the child's seat is held in position securely. Check the tension regularly.
• Never pass the belt under the arm or behind the back.
• The harness or belt should be taut and fitted to suit the child's stature.
• Never allow your child to stand up or kneel on the seats while the car is moving.
• Check that the child is in the correct position for the entire journey, particularly when he or she is 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 car occupants.
• Have the seat belts and restraint systems in use at the time of a serious accident checked.
• Never leave a child unsupervised in a car, even if he/she is in a restraint device.
• Activate the rear door locks (if your car is equipped with these).
• Make sure the child does not get out of the car at the side where there is traffic.
• Set your children a good example - always wear your seat belt.
