Seat Belts For Older Children
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat
belts instead of using child restraints.
Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether
the seat belt properly fits the child or if they
should still use a Group 2 or Group 3 child
restraint to improve the fit of the seat belt:
1. Can the child sit all the way back against
the back of the vehicle seat?
2. Do the child's knees bend comfortably
over the front of the vehicle seat – while
the child is still sitting all the way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child's
shoulder between the neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as
possible, touching the child's thighs and
not the stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for the
whole trip?

If the answer to any of these questions was
"no," then the child still needs to use a Group
2 or 3 child restraint in this vehicle. If the
child is using the lap/shoulder belt, check
belt fit periodically and make sure the seat
belt buckle is latched. A child's squirming or
slouching can move the belt out of position.
If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck,
move the child closer to the center of the
vehicle, or use a booster seat to position the
seat belt on the child correctly.
WARNING!
Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt
under an arm or behind their back. In a
crash, the shoulder belt will not protect a
child properly, which may result in serious
injury or death. A child must always wear
both the lap and shoulder portions of the
seat belt correctly.
ISOFIX Restraint System
Fig. E
Your vehicle is equipped with the child re-
straint anchorage system called ISOFIX. This
system allows ISOFIX-equipped child seats
to be installed without using the vehicle's
seat belts. The ISOFIX system has two lower
anchorages located at the back of the seat
cushion where it meets the seatback and a
top tether anchorage located behind the seat-
ing position.
