The child restraint system should be
appropriate for your child’s weight and
height and properly fit the vehicle. For a
higher degree of safety THE CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD BE
INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.
Before purchasing a child restraint
system, try installing it in the 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 forward or to either side easily on
the seat cushion after the seat belt has
been tightened, choose another
manufacturer’s child restraint system.
161) 162) 163)
NOTE Depending on the seating
position in the vehicle and the child
restraint system that you have, the child
restraint can be attached using one of
the following two locations:
Using the lower anchorage in the
rear seat ONLY if the child restraint has
ISOFIX mountings (Double Cab).
Using the seat belt.
Older children
Children who have outgrown the child
restraint system should be seated in the
rear seat and wear combination lap
shoulder belt. The lap portion of the belt
should be snug and positioned low on
the abdomen so that it is below the top
of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt
could intrude into the child’s abdomen
during an accident and cause injury.
WARNING
142)When installing a child restraint
system, refer to the instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the restraint
system. Failure to do so can result in
severe or fatal injury to your child.
143)Follow the instructions for positioning,
fitting and removing which the
manufacturer must supply together with
the child restraint system.
144)It is recommended to fit the child
restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be included.145)Do not place a rearward facing cradle
seat on the front seat if the passenger side
airbag is enabled. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the impact. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a
collision. If you need to carry a child on the
front passenger seat in a rearward facing
cradle seat, the passenger side airbags
(front and side bags for chest/ pelvis
protection, for versions/markets, where
provided) must be deactivated using the
setup menu. It is important to check the
dedicated LED on button on the instrument
panel to make sure that they are actually
deactivated. The passenger seat must also
be positioned back as far as possible in
order to avoid the child restraint system
from coming into contact with the
dashboard.
146)Fit the child restraint system only
when the vehicle is stationary.
147)When possible, put children in the
rear seat. Accident statistics indicate that
children of all sizes and ages are safer
when properly restrained in the rear seat
rather than in the front seat (Club cab and
Double cab).
148)Holding a child in your arms is no
substitute for a restraint system. Failure to
use a proper restraint system can result in
severe or fatal injury to your child.
149)Each child restraint device or fixing is
to be used only by one child.
116
SAFETY

150)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided by
the Manufacturer.
151)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if a
rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger side sun visor (see the
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) -
Airbag" paragraph).
152)Extreme Hazard! NEVER use a
rearward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of
it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
153)When attaching a child restraint
system to the rear seat, prevent the front
seat from touching the child restraint
system. Otherwise, the child could be
seriously injured in the event of hard
braking or a collision (Club cab and Double
cab).
154)On vehicles with an airbag for the
front passenger, a REARWARD FACING
CHILD RESTRAINT must NOT be used in
the front passenger seat as it places an
infant too close to the passenger airbag.
The force of an inflating airbag could kill or
cause serious injuries to the child. A
rearward facing child restraint must only be
used in the rear seat. (Club cab and
Double cab).155)Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
156)A FORWARD FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT should be used in the rear
seat whenever possible; if it must be used
in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat
to the most rearward position. Failure to do
so could kill or cause serious injuries to the
child.
157)Always make sure that the diagonal
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.
Therefore the child must always wear the
seat belt correctly.
158)Do not use the same lower
anchorage to install more than one child
restraint system.
159)If a Universal ISOFIX child seat system
is not fixed to all three anchorages, it will
not be able to protect the child correctly. In
a crash, the child could be seriously or
fatally injured.
160)Fit the child restraint system when the
car is stationary. The child restraint system
is correctly fixed to the brackets when you
hear the click. Follow the instructions for
assembly, disassembly and positioning that
the Manufacturer must supply with the
child restraint system.
161)After installation, push and pull the
child restraint system back and forth, and
side to side, to see that it is positively
secured. If the child restraint system is not
installed securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of
accident or sudden stops.162)When the child restraint system is not
in use, keep your child restraint system
secured with the seat belt or remove it
from the vehicle in order to prevent it from
being thrown around inside the vehicle
during an accident.
163)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove the
child restraint system before making any
adjustment.
