Child Safety - Aston Martin Vantage Manual

Airbags inflate rapidly and with considerable force; there is
therefore a risk of death or serious injury such as fractures, facial
and eye injuries or internal injuries, particularly to passengers
who are not correctly restrained by seat belts or are not sitting
correctly when the airbags deploy. The risk of injury from a
deploying airbag is greatest close to the trim panel covering the
airbag.
The whole sequence of events from sensing the impact to full
inflation of the airbag takes place in a fraction of a second.
Do not change, modify or tamper with the steering wheel,
passenger side fascia or any other part of the airbag system. Such
actions could disable the system or cause inadvertent airbag
deployment.
The system will not deploy in the event of minor frontal or side
impacts, such as contacts when parking.
All work on the airbag system must only be carried out by an
Aston Martin Dealer.

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: The seat belt reminder function is only designed
to recognise an adult sized occupant and will not be
activated by a child seat. If a child seat is to be secured to the
front passenger seat with a seat belt, make sure it is correctly
installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
A child seat that is not correctly restrained can cause an
infant or child to be seriously injured or killed in a crash.
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.
