Child restraint anchorage
fitting locations
WARNING
Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitting child
restraints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts,
harnesses or for attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
The anchor fittings are only suitable for
child restraints conforming to Australian
Standards AS1754-1991 or later. If your
child restraint does not have an
approved latched hook attaching clip as
shown, you should consult an approved
Restraint Fitting Station.
E68946
WARNING
Make sure the top tether strap
is not slack or twisted and is
properly located on the anchor point.
Always ensure that the attaching
clip is properly engaged with the
anchor fitting and the tether strap length
is adjusted to remove any slack.
Child safety
Incorrectly fitted child restraints
may swing, tip or come away
causing death or injury.
Always ensure that the locking
mechanism of the rear seat back
is fully engaged when in the upright
position, by attempting to pull it down
again. An unlatched seat may become
dangerous in the event of a sudden stop
or collision.
When installing the child restraint
attaching clip to the anchor fitting,
raise the head restraint and pass the
tether strap between the head restraint
supports. This will prevent the tether
strap from falling off the outboard edge
of the seating positions.
Do not attach child restraint
attachment clips to the cargo
tie-down points.
