CHILD SAFETY
General information
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly
seated and strapped in for all journeys.
The children being carried in your
vehicle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult.
Children are at risk of specific injuries
as their muscles and bones have not
yet finished growing. The seat belt
alone would not provide suitable
protection. Use an approved child seat
and ensure you use it correctly.
CHILD RESTRAINT SEAT provision is
given in Rear Left seat belt.
To prevent the doors
being opened, use the
childproof locks �� 18.
It is recommended that
children and infants are
seated in child restraint.
You choose a child restraint that
fits your vehicle. Always follow the
manufacturer's instruction for
installation and use. In addition
there are many types of child
restraint available for larger
children that should be used for
maximum protection.
A collision at 50 km/h is
the same as falling a
distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child
without a restraint is the
equivalent of allowing him or her
to play on a fourth-floor balcony
without railings.
Never travel with a child held in
your arms. In the event of an
accident, you will not be able to
keep hold of the child, even if you
yourself are wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved
in a road accident, replace the
child seat and have the seat belts
and fittings checked.
