Child Restraint System
Warnings
WARNING: Never seat a child in a
child restraint system or a booster
seat on the front passenger seat when
the passenger front airbag is active.
Doing so can cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING: Never use a rearward
facing child restraint system on a seat
protected by an active passenger
front airbag. Doing so can cause
serious injury or death. Refer to the
warning label located on the sun visor.
WARNING: Some child restraint
systems are designed to be secured in
vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap
belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt.
Children could be endangered in a
crash if their child restraint systems
are not properly secured in the
vehicle.
WARNING: Do not use a forward-
facing child restraint system until your
child weighs over 9 kg and can sit
independently. Up to the age of two, a
child's spine and neck are not
sufficiently developed to avoid injury
in a frontal impact.
WARNING: Do not allow a baby or
infant to be held on a lap. All children
should be restrained in an appropriate
child restraint system at all times.
WARNING: To ensure children are
safely seated, follow all instructions
provided in this document and by the
manufacturer of the child restraint
system.
WARNING: Children should ride in a
rear-facing child restraint system using
the seat's integrated 5-point harness
for as long as possible until they reach
the maximum size or weight limit of
the rear-facing child restraint system.
WARNING: When seating larger
children, make sure the child's head is
supported and the child's seat belt is
properly adjusted and fastened. The
shoulder portion of the belt must be
away from the face and neck, and the
lap portion must not be over the
stomach.
Seating and Safety Restraints
Child Safety Seats
WARNING: Never attach two child
restraint systems to one anchor point.
In a collision, one anchor point may be
incapable of securing both seats.
WARNING: Child restraint anchor bars
are designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted 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.
WARNING: Always check harnesses
and tether straps for damage and
wear.
WARNING: Never leave a child
unattended, even if the child is
secured in a child restraint system.
WARNING: Never use a child restraint
system that has been involved in a
collision. Discard the seat and have it
replaced as described in the child
restraint system manufacturer's
instructions.
