Child Restraints
Important Safety Instructions about Using
Child Restraints
It is recommended that children below the age of 12 years
old should be seated on the rear seat of the vehicle, in a
child restraint system appropriate to the children's weight
and size. Infants less than 2 years old should be restrained
in an infant child restraint system.
It is recommended that a child restraint system that
complies with UN ECE-R44 or ECE-R129 standard are
fitted in this vehicle. Check markings on the child restraint
system.
There are a number of child restraint systems available of
different type and specification. For optimum protection,
it is recommended that you choose restraint systems
appropriate to the child’s age and weight.
It is important to comply with installation instructions
supplied by the child restraint manufacturer and that child
restraint system is properly secured to the vehicle. Failure
to follow these instructions may cause death or serious
injury to the child in an event of a sudden stop or accident.
• All occupants, including children must wear seat belts
or use an appropriate child restraint.
• It is recommended that children under 12 years of age
or less than 1.5 metres tall should use the appropriate
child restraint fitted to the rear seat.
• Only one child can be carried in any one restraint.
• Do not put the child on the lap or in arms when sitting
in any seat.
• Always adjust the seat back rest to a proper position
and ensure it is locked in position when installing a child
seat or restraint.
• If installing a rear facing child restraint to the rear
seat, the corresponding front seat should be adjusted
forward; if installing a forward facing child restraint
to the rear seat, you may need to adjust the height
of the headrest to the lowest; if installing a forward
facing child restraint to the front seat, you may need to
remove its headrest.
• Never let your child stand or kneel on the seat during
driving.
• Always ensure the child is seated correctly in the child
restraint.
