CAUTIONS

Use the child restraint system
● If a child restraint system that is not suitable for this vehicle is used, it may not be possible to properly
protect infants or children. This may lead to serious casualties (in case of emergency braking or accidents).

Precautions for child protection
● Seat belts or child protection devices must be used to restrain and protect children according to their weight
and size, to protect children effectively in case of accidents and emergency braking. Holding children in your
arms is not a substitute for child protection. In an accident, children may get in contact with the windshield or
be squeezed between you and the carriage.
● We strongly recommend that you select the appropriate child restraint system according to the child's body
shape and place it on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, children sitting in the rear seat and using
the restraint system correctly are safer than children sitting in the front seat.
● Never install a rear-facing child protection device on the front passenger's seat. Otherwise, the impact force
of the rapid deployment of the front passenger's airbag may cause serious injury or even death to the child in
case of an accident.
● The forward-facing child protection device can only be installed on the front passenger seat if it is
necessary to do so. The deployment speed of the front passenger’s airbag is quite fast and the impact force is
great. Therefore, the seat should be moved backward as much as possible. Otherwise, the child may be
seriously injured or even killed.
● For vehicles with seat airbags and curtain airbags, even if the child has been placed in the child protection
device, do not let him/her lean any part of his/her head or body on the door, seat, roof cant rail (the deployed
parts of the seat airbag or curtain airbag). The seat airbag and curtain airbag will be very dangerous when
deployed, and the strong impact force may cause serious injury or even death to children.
● Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and always ensure that the child protection
device is firmly fixed.
A child protection device that is not firmly fixed is very dangerous. In the event of an emergency brake or
collision, the child protection device may move, causing serious injury or death to the child or other
occupants.

When children are in the car
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt is wrapped around a child's neck, it can cause
suffocation or other serious injuries or even death.
If this happens and the buckle cannot be released, cut the seatbelt with scissors.

At Non-Applicability of Child Restraint System
● Even if no child protection device is used, the child should be properly fixed on the seat.
Do not place unprotected child protection devices in the passenger compartment.
● If the child protection device must be removed, remove it from the vehicle or integrate it into the trunk and
secure it.
If the headrest is removed when installing the child protection device, the headrest must be installed before
driving. This can prevent the injury of passengers in case of emergency braking or accidents.
