WARNING continued
Improperly
or inadequately installed
child
restraint systems can increase
the risk of
injury
to children in
acci
dents, therefore always carefully read
and follow all instructions on
installa
tion and use that come with the sys
tem.
Children
must
be
positioned so
that
the
shoulder belt does not contact or re
main
in
front
of the face,
chin,
neck or
throat Failure to follow this precaution
can
increase the risk or severity of in
jury
in the
event
of
a
collision.
In summary:
Children who are
less
than
12
years old
should always sit in the rear. For reasons of safety a child should
only occupy the
front
seat if all of the rear seating positions are already oc
cupied by other children.
The children should wear, depending on age and
body
size, either
a
child re
straint system or the existing safety
belts:
•
Babies and children up to about
6
or
7
years should be secured with a child restraint system designed for their
size.
Children of average size of about 6
or 7 years of age may use available
safety belts. Always
make
sure that the
shoulder portion of
a
three point belt is
positioned midway
over
the shoulder
-
it must
never
rest against or across
the neck. See illustration page
17.
The
lap
belt or the lap belt portion of the
three point belt must always pass as low as possible across the pelvis,
never
over
the
abdomen.
If the safety belt will not properly fit the
child,
we recommend the use of a suit
able
booster seat in a rear seating
posi
tion in order to raise the child's seating height so that the safety belt will pro
perly fit the
child.

Belt
height
adjustment
There
are two different anchorage points for the
front
safety belts in the door pillars on each
side.
The
belt relay
fitting
is normally mounted on the upper anchorage point. For proper positioning of the shoulder section of the
safety belt it may be necessary to remount
the relay
fitting
on the lower anchorage point. Lap-shoulder
belt
The
combination lap-shoulder belt is equipped
with
a locking retractor. The
system
adjusts automatically to your
size
and
movements as long as the pull on the
belt is slow.
Hard
braking or a collision locks the belt.
The
belt will also lock when you drive up or down a steep hill or in a sharp curve.
Before
fastening the seat belt

• Belts should fit snugly across the pelvis
and
chest.
Make
sure any slack is
wound
up on the
retractor.
• Adjust height of belt anchorage, if
necessary.
Do not wear shoulder part of
belt under your arm or otherwise out of
