Warning
A heated vehicle may result in death to per-
sons, especially children, or animals. There is
a risk of injury or danger to life. Do not leave
persons, especially children, or animals unat-
tended in the vehicle.
Warning
Exposure to intense sunlight can cause child
restraint systems and their components to
become very hot. Persons may sustain burn
injuries when touching the hot components.
There is a risk of injury. Do not expose the
child restraint system to direct sunlight or
cover where necessary. If necessary, let the
child restraint system cool down before
transporting a child. Do not leave children un-
attended in the vehicle.
Transport children in the rear seat
General information
Accident research shows that the safest place
for children is in the rear seat.
Children younger than 13 years of age or
shorter than 5 ft/150 cm should be transported
in the rear seat in suitable child restraint sys-
tems designed for the age, weight and size of
the child. Children 13 years of age or older
must wear a seat belt as soon as a suitable
child restraint system can no longer be used
due to their age, weight, or size.
