Child Restraint System
A child restraint system for a small child
or baby must be properly restrained on
the seat with the lap portion of the lap/
shoulder belt. You must carefully consult
the manufacturer's instructions which
accompany the child restraint system,
about the appropriate age and size of the
child. The child restraint system should be
installed in the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, the child is more safe
when properly restrained in the rear of the
vehicle than in the front. When not using
the child restraint system, keep it secured
with the seat belt or place it somewhere
other than the passenger compartment.
T h i s w i l l p r e v e n t i t f r o m i n j u r i n g
passengers in the event of a sudden stop
or accident.
Child Restraint Precautions
Mahindra strongly urges the use of
appropriate child restraint systems for
children. If a child is too big for a child
restraint system, the child should sit in the
rear seat and must be restrained using
the vehicle's seat belt.(Refer to
seat belts
section for additional information)
For effective protection in automobile
accidents and sudden stops, a child must
be properly restrained, using a seat belt
or child restraint system depending on the
age and size of the child. Holding the
child in your arms is not a substitute for a
child restraint system. In an accident, the
child can be hit against the windshield, or
between you and the vehicles interior.
1. Mahindra strongly urges use of a
proper child restraint system which
conforms to the size of the child
