CHILD SAFETY: general information (1/2)

Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children
are at risk of specific injuries as their
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone
would not provide suitable protection.
Use an approved child seat and ensure
you use it correctly.
CHILD RESTRAINT SEAT provision is
given in Rear Left seat belt.
To prevent the doors being
opened, use the childproof
locks (refer to the informa-
tion on "Locking/unlocking
the doors" in Section 1).
A collision at 50 km/h is the
same as falling a distance
of 10 metres. Transporting
a child without a restraint is
the equivalent of allowing him or her
to play on a fourthfloor balcony with-
out railings.
Never travel with a child held in your
arms. In the event of an accident,
you will not be able to keep hold of
the child, even if you yourself are
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in
a road accident, replace the child
seat and have the seat belts and fit-
tings checked.
It is recommended that children and
infants are seated in child restraint.
You choose a child restraint that fits
your vehicle. Always follow the man-
ufacturer's instruction for installation
and use. In addition there are many
types of child restraint available for
larger children that should be used
for maximum protection.
