WARNING
- Child restraint
check
Check that the child restraint
system is secure by pushing
and pulling it in different direc-
tions. Incorrectly fitted child
restraints may swing, twist, tip
or separate causing death or
serious injury.
WARNING
- Child restraint anchorage
• Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only
those loads imposed by cor-
rectly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat
belts or harnesses or for
attaching other items or
equipment to the vehicle.
• The tether strap may not work
properly if attached some-
where other than the correct
tether anchor.
WARNING
Do not install a child restraint
seat at the center of the rear
seat using the tether anchors.
The tether anchors are only pro-
vided for the left and right out-
board rear seating positions.
In a crash, the child restraint
seat tether anchor attachments
may not be strong enough to
secure the child restraint seat
properly in the center of the rear
seat and may break, causing
serious injury or death.
WARNING
-
Tether strap
Never mount more than one
child restraint to a single tether
or to a single lower anchorage
point.The increased load caused
by multiple seats may cause the
tethers or anchorage points to
break, causing serious injury or
death.
WARNING
A child can be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the
child restraint is not properly
anchored to the car and the
child is not properly restrained
in the child restraint. Always fol-
low the child seat manufactur-
er’s instructions for installation
and use.
