For Australia/New Zealand:
Child restraints
Information
In accordance with ADR 34/01, provisions
have been made to allow installation of a child
restraint at each rear seating position.
The anchoring hooks which belong to the up‐
per restraining strap of the child restraint - AS
1754, can be applied immediately to the rele‐
vant mounting.
Please refer strictly to the installation instruc‐
tions supplied with the child restraint system.
Each seating position is fitted with a head rest.
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are designed
to withstand only those loads imposed by cor‐
rectly fitted child restraints. Under no circum‐
stances are they to be used for adult seat
belts, harnesses or for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle. After using the child
restraints, the anchor fittings may need to be
folded down.◀
Mounting points
