WARNING!
Should it be necessary to carry a child on
the passenger side front seat in a
rear-facing child restraint system, the
passenger side front air bag must be deac-
tivated. Always make sure the airbag deac-
tivation indicator light is illuminated when
using a child restraint system. The
passenger seat must also be positioned
backward as far as possible to avoid the
child restraint system from coming into
contact with the dashboard.
A deploying passenger front air bag can
cause death or serious injury to a child 12
years or younger, including a child in a
rear-facing child restraint.
In a collision, an unrestrained child can
become a projectile inside the vehicle. The
force required to hold even an infant on
your lap could become so great that you
could not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and others could
be badly injured or killed. Any child riding in
your vehicle should be in a proper restraint
for the child's size.
There are different sizes and types of restraints
for children from newborn size to the child
almost large enough for an adult safety belt.
Children should ride rearward facing as long as
possible; this is the most protected position for
a child in the event of a crash. Always check the
child seat Owner's Manual to make sure you
have the correct seat for your child. Carefully
read and follow all the instructions and
warnings in the child restraint Owner's Manual
and on all the labels attached to the child
restraint.
In Europe, children restraint systems are
defined by regulation ECE-R44, which divides
them into five weight groups:
Restraint Group
Weight Group
Group 0
up to 10 kg
Group 0+
up to 13 kg
Group 1
9-18 kg
Group 2
15-25 kg
Group 3
22-36 kg
SAFETY
Check the label of your child restraint. All
approved child restraints must include
type-approval data and the control mark on its
label. The label must be permanently secured
to the child restraint system. You should not
remove this label from the child restraint.
WARNING!
Extreme Hazard! Do not place a rear-facing
child restraint in front of an active air bag.
Refer to visor mounted labels for information.
Deployment of the air bag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby
regardless of the severity of the collision. It is
advisable to always carry children in a child
restraint system on the rear seat, which is the
most protected position in the event of a
collision.
