Note: Side curtain air bags will not interfere
with a properly installed child restraint
system or booster seat, because they are
designed to inflate downward from the
headliner above the doors along the side
window openings.
When a child restraint system is not being
used, either remove it and store it in a safe
place, or make sure it is properly secured.
An unsecured child restraint system can
be thrown around the vehicle in a collision
or sudden stop and injure someone.
Child restraint anchorage
locations
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.
Top tether anchor points
There are three child restraint anchor
points, one for each rear seating position.
E166782
The anchor fittings are only suitable for
child restraints conforming to Australian
Standard AS1754-2004 or later. If your
child restraint does not have an approved
latched hook attaching clip as shown, you
should consult an approved restraint fitting
station.
WARNINGS
Always ensure that the attaching clip
is properly engaged with the anchor
fitting and the tether strap length is
adjusted to remove any slack.
Incorrectly fitted child restraints may
swing, tip or come away causing
death or injury.
Always ensure that the locking
mechanism of the rear seat back is
fully engaged when in the upright
position, by attempting to pull it down
again.
Do not attach a tether strap to
anything other than the correct
tether anchor point.
Make sure that the top tether strap
is not slack or twisted and is properly
located on the anchor point.
