Safety for children
Children under 12 years of age should normally travel on the rear seat1). Depending upon their age, height and weight, they must be pro­tected with either a child restraint system or the seat belt provided. For reasons of safety, the child restraint system should be fitted in the middle of the bench seat or behind the passenger seat.
Attention Children under 1.50 m (5') tall must not use normal seat belts without the child restraint sys­tem. This could cause injury to the stomach and neck.
