Child restraint
WARNING
l A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front
passenger seat if the front passenger's air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force of
4 an inflating airbag could kill or cause se-
rious injuries to the child. A rearward
facing child restraint should be used in
the rear seat.
l
A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if used in the front
seat, turn off the front passenger's airbag
ON-OFF switch.
Infants and small children
When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given
below.
4-16 Seat and seat belts
Instruction:
l For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children
whose height when seated allows the
shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should be
used.
l The child restraint system should be ap-
propriate for the child's weight and
height and properly fit in the vehicle.
For a higher degree of safety: THE
CHILD RESTRAINT
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE
REAR SEAT.
NOTE
l Before purchasing a child restraint system,
try installing it in the rear seat to make sure
there is a good fit. Because of the location of
the seat belt buckles and the shape of the
seat cushion, it may be difficult to securely
install some manufacturer's child restraint
systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled
forward or to either side easily on the seat
cushion after the seat belt has been tight-
ened, choose another manufacturer's child
restraint system.
OGAE19E1
WARNING
l When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the restraint system.
Failure to do so can result in severe or fa-
tal injury to the child.
l After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is properly secured. If
the child restraint system is not installed
securely, it may cause injury to the child
or other occupants in the case of accident
or sudden stops.
SYSTEM
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system se-
cured with the seat belt or remove it from
the vehicle in order to prevent it from be-
ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-
ing an accident.
Depending on the seating position in the
vehicle and the child restraint system
that you have, the child restraint can be
attached using one of the following two
locations:
• To the lower anchorage in the rear seat
ONLY if the child restraint has ISO-
FIX mountings (See page 4-18).
• To the seat belt (See pages 4-09,
4-23).
