Child Safety - Aston Martin DB9 2009 Owner's Manual

Child Safety

A child, regardless of age, should always be restrained when
travelling in a vehicle.
Warning
Do not allow children to travel in a vehicle without
restraint. An appropriate child seat or harness should
always be used.
Warning
Each seat belt assembly must be used by only one
occupant. It is dangerous to put a seat belt around a
child being carried on the occupants lap.
3.24
Warning
Accident statistics show that children are generally safer
when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the
front seat. A suitable child restraint, properly installed
and used, provides the highest degree of protection for
infants and small children in most accident situations.
Ensure that an installed child seat does not rest against the
door, that the child sits properly in the seat and does not
lean close to, or against, the door or window.
Child Seats and Passenger Airbags
Warning
Extreme Hazard
Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an active airbag in front of it.
Aston Martin strongly recommend not to install any child
seat on the front passenger seat of this vehicle.
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.
