6. CHILD RESTRAINTS AND PREGNANT WOMAN
1) Pregnant Women
We recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancy. Keeping the
mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe.
Infants and tiny children should always be restrained in an infant or child restraint.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat with front passenger air bag.
A child in a rear-facing child restraint installed in the front seat can be seriously injured if the front
passenger air bag inflates. Secure a rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat.
A front-facing child restraint should be secured in the rear seat whenever possible. If installed in the
front passenger seat, adjust the seat as far back as it will go.
When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or remove it from
the vehicle.
In a collision an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a missile inside the vehicle. The
force required to hold even an infant on your lap can become so great that you could not hold the
child, no matter how strong you are.
Do not allow a child in the cargo areas while the vehicle is moving.
If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle.
Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back.
Please note that the three point seat belt is designed for a person who is taller than 140 cm. -

2) Child Restraints
When transporting infants or small children, an appropriate child restraint system should always be
used. The child restraint system should be appropriate for your child’s weight and height and
properly fit the car’s seat. Accident statistics indicate that children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat rather than in the front seat.
3) Securing Methods of Child Restraint System
Child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by seat belts or the latch system
(ISOFIX seat - if equipped).
Pregnant women should wear 3-point seat belt whenever possible according to the professional
recommendations by her doctor.
Pregnant women should wear the lap portion of the belt across the thighs and as snugly and low
as possible. -

4) Infant and Child Safety
Children that are too small to use the seat belts must be properly secured in a child restraint system.
Do not place a child restraint system in the front seat. The infant or child could be severely injured
by an air bag inflation in case of an accident.
Use only the qualified child restraint systems. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation and use of the child restraint systems.
Do not carry your child on your lap while driving. You cannot resist against the impact pressure in
an accident. The child could be crushed between you and the parts of vehicle.
Remember that a child restraint seat left in a concealed vehicle can cause it to be very hot. Check
the seating surface before putting your child in the child restraint.
When your child restraint is not in use, remove it from the vehicle or keep it secured with a seat
belt to prevent it from being thrown forward in case of a sudden stop or an accident.
When installing a child restraint, do not let the seat belts come across the child’s neck. -

6) Securing a Child Restrain System with “ISOFIX” System
How to use the ISOFIX Lower Latch Anchor ▶
The ISOFIX lower latch anchors are located in
the left and right outboard rear seating
positions. Their locations (1) are shown in the
illustration.
Insert the child restraint attachments into the
ISOFIX lower latch anchors until it clicks.
Do not use the seat belt for installing the
ISOFIX child restraint. -
-
-
ISOFIX system is a standardised method of
fitting child seats that eliminates the need to use
the standard adult seatbelt to secure the seat in
the vehicle. This enables a much more secure
and positive location with the added benefit of
easier and quicker installation.
When using the “ISOFIX” lower latch system, all unused vehicle rear seat belt metal latch
plates or tabs must be latched securely in their seat belt buckles and the seat belt webbing must
be retracted behind the child restraint to prevent the child from reaching and taking hold of
unretracted seat belts. Unlatched metal latch plates or tabs may allow the child to reach the
unretracted seat belts which may result in strangulation and a serious injury or death to the child in
the child restraint.
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses or for
attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle. -
