CHILD SEATS
General safety information
In many countries legislation governs
how and where children should be
carried when travelling in a vehicle.
It is the responsibility of the driver to
comply with all regulations in force in the
country where the vehicle is being used.
Holding a baby or child in a person’s
arms is not a substitute for a child
restraint system.
In an accident, a baby or child held in this
manner can be crushed between the
vehicle’s interior and a restrained person.
WARNINGS
Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on
a seat protected by an air bag in
front of it!
Children must be restrained by a
child safety restraint that is
suitable for their weight and size.
The rear seat is the safest place
for properly restrained children.
E91074
Do not install a rearward-facing
child seat in the front passenger
seat position since deployment of
the passenger facia air bag could cause
death or serious injury to the child. If,
however, you have no alternative but to
place a child in the front passenger seat,
use only a forward-facing child seat with
the passenger seat set fully rearward and
in its lowest position.
Children 12 years old and younger
can be killed or seriously injured
by the air bag. The rear seat is the
safest place for properly restrained
children.
Always follow the fitting
instructions supplied with the
appropriate child restraint system.
It is important to read and understand all
the information contained in this
handbook relating to child safety before
carrying a child in your vehicle. If you are
unsure about any aspect of this
information, contact your Jaguar Dealer.
