Child Safety - Aston Martin DB 9 2013 Manual

Child Safety

Aston Martin strongly recommends:
• That all children are seated in the rear passenger seats
A child, regardless of age, should always be restrained when travelling
in a vehicle.
Warning: Accident statistics show that children are generally
safer when correctly restrained in the rear seat than in the front
seat. A suitable child restraint, correctly installed and used,
provides the highest degree of protection for infants and small
children in most accident situations .

restraint. An appropriate child seat or harness should always be
used.

passenger. It is dangerous to put a seat belt around a child being

Child Seats and Front Passenger Airbag
Warning: Do not use a child restraint on a seat protected by a
front airbag which is set to ON.
Warning: Extreme Hazard: Do not use a rearward facing
child restraint on a seat protected by an active airbag in front of
it.
Warning: Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster
cushion on the front passenger seat if the airbag is set to ON.
If a child seat is to be used in the front passenger seat, the front
passenger airbag must be set to OFF. Make sure that the child seat
manufacturer's installation instructions are followed correctly.
In the event of a serious frontal or side collision the vehicle airbag
system is designed to deploy, to provide additional protection for the
front seat occupants.
If a forward facing child seat is to be used in the front passenger seat,
follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions to secure the child
seat and move the passenger seat to its rearmost and lowest position.
