Child Restraints
Important Safety Instructions about Using
Child Restraints
It is recommended that children below the age of 12 years
old should be seated on the rear seat of the vehicle, in a
child restraint system appropriate to the children's weight
and size. Infants less than 2 years old should be restrained
in an infant child restraint system.
It is recommended that a child restraint system that
complies with UN ECE R44 standard are fitted in this
vehicle. Check markings on the child restraint system.
There are a number of child restraint systems available of
different type and specification. For optimum protection,
it is recommended that you choose restraint systems
appropriate to the child's age and weight.
It is important to comply with installation instructions
supplied by the child restraint manufacturer and that child
restraint system is properly secured to the vehicle. Failure
to follow these instructions may cause death or serious
injury to the child in an event of a sudden stop or accident.
