Make sure a child below 12 years is properly
restrained in the rear seat. Select a suitable
child restraint system or seat belt according the
child’s height and weight.
To properly route a seat belt through a child
seat, follow the seat maker’s instructions. Keep
the child seat instructions together with the
vehicle documents in your vehicle so you can
refer to it at any time.
