Child Safety - Aston Martin Vantage S 2016 Owner's Manual

Child Safety

Aston Martin strongly recommends:
• Always use ISOFIX anchors where available.
• 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
being correctly restrained. An appropriate child seat or harness
should always be used.
Warning: Each seat belt assembly must be used by only one
passenger. It is dangerous to put a seat belt around a child being
carried on the passengers lap.
Warning: Make sure that an installed child seat does not rest
against the door, that the child sits correctly in the seat and does
not lean close to, or against, the door or window.
Your vehicle has the following devices for the installation of child
restraints:
• Passenger Airbag Deactivation (PAD) switch
• ISOFIX anchors (Sport seat only: No height adjust)
• Passenger seats Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) seat belts
• Tether anchor points (Sport seat only: No height adjust.)
Standard for installing child seats into cars and is intended to make the
1.
installation of child seats quick and simple.
Child Seats and Front Passenger Airbag
Warning: Do not place a child restraint on a seat with an
active airbag.
1
Warning: With the exception of installing a child seat on the
front passenger seat, do not set the PAD switch to OFF, as the
front passenger will not receive the added protection of the
airbag. Serious injuries or even death could occur.
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.
The PAD switch does not set the front passenger side impact
airbags or the seat belt pre-tensioners to OFF.
