Upper anchorage height adjustment
To reduce the likelihood of injury in an accident, the height
of the front seat belt upper anchorage adjusts automatically as
the seat is moved either forwards or backwards. The height
CANNOT BE ADJUSTED MANUALLY!
CHILD SEATS
NOTE: Accident statistics show
that children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the
front.
Children are more likely to receive injuries from inflating
airbags than taller occupants (see ‘Airbag SRS’). For this
reason, it is recommended that children should always be
seated in the rear of the vehicle, in a child safety seat or
restraint system appropriate to their age and size. The range of
safety seats approved for use in your car is outlined in the
Rover accessories brochure, which is available from your
Rover dealer.
For optimum protection, it is recommended that children
weighing up to 13 kg (29 lb - or approximately 18 months of
age) are restrained in a Rover approved rear facing child seat
in an outer rear seating position.
All infant and child restraint systems are designed to be
secured in the car by means of an adult seat belt.
DO NOT install a rearward
facing child seat in the
front passenger seat - an
inflating airbag could impact
with the seat. Failure to follow
this advice could result in
serious injury, or even death for
the child.
When installing and using any infant or child restraint system,
always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to
properly secure the child restraint system can endanger the
child in a collision or sudden stop and cause injury to other
passengers.
The above symbol affixed to the fascia panel of your car,
warns against the use of a REAR FACING child seat in the
front passenger seat. This type of child seat could cause serious
injury to your child in the event of an airbag deployment.
