1-7. Safety information
●
Rear seat seating positions
Recommended installing positions for the child restraint systems.
In these positions, the following equipment is provided for installing a child
restraint system.
• Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) seatbelts
• ISOFIX anchor bars
• Top tether anchorages
Some types of child restraints might not be able to be secured firmly due to
projection of the seat cushion.
In this seating position, you should use only a child restraint system that
has a bottom base that fits snugly against the contours of the seat cushion
and can be securely retained using the seatbelt.
WARNING
■
Using a child restraint system
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not prop-
erly secure the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the
event of sudden braking or an accident).
■
Child restraint precautions
●
For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a seatbelt or child restraint system
depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is
not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle's interior.
●
SUBARU strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that
conforms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat than in the front seat.
