SAFETY 90 123 F0V0113 124 J0A0326C When using a Universal ISOFIX child restraint system, only ECE R44 “ISOFIX Universal” (R44/03 or further upgrades) type-approved child restraint systems can be used (see fig. 124). The other weight groups are covered by specific ISOFIX child restraint systems, which can only be used if specifically tested for this vehicle (see list of vehicles provided with the child restraint system). 72) Always make sure that the chest section of the seat belt does not pass under the arms or behind the back of the child. In the event of an accident the seat belt will not be able to secure the child, with the risk of injury, including fatal injury. Therefore the child must always wear the seat belt correctly. 73) Never use the same lower anchorage to attach more than one child restraint. 74) If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint system is not fixed to all three anchorages, it will not be able to protect the child correctly. In a crash, the child could be seriously or fatally injured. 75) Fit the child restraint system only when the vehicle is stationary. The child restraint system is correctly fixed to the brackets when you hear the click. Follow the instructions for assembly, disassembly and positioning that the Manufacturer must supply with the child restraint system. i-Size CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS These child restraint systems, built and type-approved according to the i-Size (ECE R129) standard, ensure better safety conditions to carry children on board a vehicle: the child must be transported rearward facing until 15 months; child restraint system protection is increased in the event of a side collision; the use of the ISOFIX system is promoted to avoid faulty installation of the child restraint system; efficiency in the choice of the child restraint system, which isn't made according to weight any more but according to the child's height, is increased; compatibility between the vehicle seats and the child restraint systems is better: the i-Size child restraint systems can be considered as "Super ISOFIX"; this means that they can be perfectly fitted in type-approved i-Size seats, but can also be fitted in ISOFIX (ECE R44) type-approved seats. NOTE If your car seats are i-Size approved, the symbol shown in fig. 125 will appear on the seats near the ISOFIX attachments. |
