Overhead Console
A visual and audible reminder alert the
vehicle occupants if a seatbelt is not
being worn. The audible reminder is de-
pendent on vehicle speed.
Child Safety
Statistics show that children are safer
when properly restrained in the back
seat of a vehicle, an option unavailable
in this vehicle. In addition, a passenger
airbag is fitted, producing a serious
risk to children - particularly infants
and small children. If a child is to be
carried in the vehicle passenger seat,
the following notes are provided for
guidance:
The standard seat and seat belt should
be used when a child is of a physical
size that the standard fitment lap and
diagonal seat belt will fit satisfactorily,
with the belt positioned over the collar
bone and against the centre of the
chest.
All children regardless of age and size
must always sit correctly secured in the
vehicle. Never allow a child to sit on the
knee of the passenger.
Child Restraints
A suitable booster cushion or child seat
should be used if the belt touches or
crosses the child’s neck or if required
by law. This advice also applies to any
adult of small stature.
Suitable Child Seats
Only universal child seats are suitable
for the Emira. See page 34 for further
information.
