CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Children riding in the vehicle should
sit in the rear seat and must always
be properly restrained to minimise
the risk of injury in an accident, sud-
den stop or sudden manoeuvre.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Larger children not in
a child restraint system should use
one of the seat belts provided.
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child
restraint systems must be properly
placed and installed in the vehicle
seat. You must use a commercially
available child restraint system that
meets the requirements of the Safety
Standards of your country.
Child restraint systems are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats by lap
belts or the lap belt portion of a
lap/shoulder belt, or by a top tether
anchor and/or ISOFIX anchors. Children could be injured or killed in
a crash if their restraints are not
properly secured. For small children
and babies, Child restraint system
must be used. Before buying a par-
ticular child restraint system, make
sure it fits your vehicle seat and seat
belts, and fits your child. Follow all
the instructions provided by the man-
ufacturer when installing the child
restraint system.
WARNING
To ensure the safety of your child, we strongly recommend
a child restraint system to beinstalled in the rear seats.
When installing a child
restraint on the front passen-
ger's seat, the air bag must be
deactivated and set to the OFF
position. (if equipped passen-
ger's air bag ON/OFF switch)

A seat belt or child restraintsystem can become very hot
if it is left in a closed vehicle
on a sunny day, even if theoutside temperature does not
feel hot. Be sure to check the
seat cover and buckles before
placing a child there.
When the child restraint sys- tem is not in use, store it in the
luggage area or fasten it with a
seat belt or ISOFIX anchorage
so that it will not be thrown
forward in case of a suddenstop or an accident.
All children, even those too large for child restraints,should ride in the rear seats.
