Child Safety

Safety of Infants and Small Children

Safe Driving

If a child has exceeded the weight and height limitations of a rear-facing child
restraint system, the child should be properly restrained in a firmly secured front-
facing child restraint system until they exceed the weight and height limitations for
the front-facing child restraint system.

■

Front-facing child restraint system
placement

We strongly recommend placing a front-
facing child restraint system in a rear seating
position.

Placing a front-facing child restraint system in the front seat can be hazardous. A
rear seat is the safest place for a child.

■

Protecting Smaller Children

Protecting Smaller Children

Educate yourself about the laws and regulations
regarding child restraint system use where you are
driving, and follow the child restraint system
manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING

Placing a front-facing child restraint system
in the front seat can result in serious injury
or death if the front airbag inflates.

If you must place a front-facing child
restraint system in front, move the vehicle
seat as far back as possible, and properly
restrain the child.

Child Safety

Safety of Infants and Small Children

Safe Driving

Some child restraint systems are lower anchorage compatible. Some have a rigid-
type connector while others have a flexible-type connector. Both are equally easy to
use. Some existing and previously owned child restraint systems can only be installed
using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow the child restraint system
manufacturer’s use and care instructions including recommended expiration dates
as well as the instructions in this manual. Proper installation is key to maximising
your child’s safety.

The flexible type may not be available in your country.

In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with lower anchorages, install a child
restraint system using the seat belt and a top tether for added security. This is
because all child restraint systems must be secured with the seat belt when the
lower anchorage system is not in use. In addition, the child restraint system
manufacturer may advise that a seat belt be used to attach an ISOFIX restraint
system once a child reaches a specified weight. Please read the child restraint system
owner’s manual for proper installation instructions.

■

Important consideration when selecting a child restraint system

Make sure the child restraint system meets the following three requirements:

•

The child restraint system is the correct type and size for the child.

•

The child restraint system is the correct type for the seating position.

•

The child restraint system is compliant with safety standards. We recommend a
child restraint system compliant with UN Regulation No. 44 or No. 129, or the
regulations of the subject countries. Look for the approval mark on the system
and the manufacturer’s statement of compliance on the box.

■

Selecting a Child Restraint System

Selecting a Child Restraint System

Installation of a lower anchorage-compatible child
restraint system is simple.

Lower anchorage-compatible child restraint systems
have been developed to simplify the installation
process and reduce the likelihood of injuries caused
by incorrect installation.

Child Restraint Systems Standards

If a child restraint system (whether an i-Size/ISOFIX type or one that is fitted with a
seat belt) meets the relevant UN Regulation, it will be affixed with an approval label
as shown in the adjacent table. Before purchasing or using any child restraint
system, make sure to check the approval label and ensure that it is compatible with
your vehicle and the child, and that it complies with the relevant UN Regulation.

A lower anchorage-compatible child restraint system can be installed in either of the
two outer rear seats. A child restraint system is attached to the lower anchorages
with either the rigid or flexible type of connectors (see illustrations).

Locate the lower anchorages under the
marks.

Place the child restraint system on the
vehicle seat, then attach the child restraint
system to the lower anchorages according
to the instructions that came with the
child restraint system.

When installing the child restraint
system, make sure that the lower
anchorages are not obstructed by the
seat belt or any other object.

System

Installing a Lower Anchorage-Compatible Child Restraint System

Some child restraint systems come with optional
guide-cups, which avoid possible damage to the seat
surface. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when
using the guide-cups, and attach them to the lower
anchorages as shown in the image.

WARNING

Never attach two child restraint systems to
the same anchorage. In a collision, one
anchorage may not be strong enough to
hold two child restraint system attachments
and may break, causing serious injury or
death.

WARNING:

Never use a hook that does not come

an installed child restraint system.

For your child’s safety, when using a child restraint
system installed using the lower anchorage system,
make sure that the child restraint system is properly
secured to the vehicle.
A child restraint system that is not properly secured
will not adequately protect a child in a crash and may
cause injury to the child or other vehicle occupants.

WARNING:

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, harnesses or for
attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

Always use a tether for front-facing child restraint
