Mitsubishi Electric GRANDIS OXPE10E1 Owner's Manual page 58

Instructions:
l For small infants, an infant carrier should be
used. For small children whose height when
seated allows the shoulder belt to lie in con-
tact with the face or the throat, a child seat
should be used.
l The child restraint system should be appropri-
ate for your child's weight and height and
properly fit in the vehicle. For a higher de-
gree of safety: THE CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN
THE REAR SEAT.
WARNING
l When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the restraint system. Fail-
ure to do so can result in severe or fatal
injury to your child.
l After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac-
cident or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child or infant seat se-
cured with the seat belt or remove it from
the vehicle in order to prevent injury to
your child.
NOTE
l Before purchasing a child restraint system,
try installing it in the rear seat to make sure
there is a good fit. Because of the location of
the seat belt buckles and the shape of the seat
cushion, it may be difficult to securely install
some manufacturer's child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled for-
ward or to either side easily on the seat cush-
ion after the seat belt has been tightened,
choose another manufacturer's child restraint
system.
Depending on the seating position in the ve-
hicle and the child restraint system that you
have, the child restraint can be attached us-
ing one of the following 2 locations:
• To the lower anchorage in the rear seat,
ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX
mountings (See page 2-27).
• To the seat belt (See page 2-28).
Older children
E00406700192
Children who have outgrown the child restraint sys-
tem should be seated in the rear seat and wear com-
bination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug and posi-
tioned low on the abdomen so that it is below the
top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt could in-
trude into the child's abdomen during an accident
and cause injury.
WARNING
l Children who are not buckled up can be
thrown out of the vehicle in an accident.
l Children who are not buckled up can
strike other people in the vehicle in an ac-
cident.
Seat and seat belts
WARNING
l A child should never be left unattended
in your vehicle. When you leave the vehi-
cle, take the child with you.
