FOR SAFE DRIVING

able; check that the restraint system you
select meets applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats either by seat
belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap-
shoulder belts) or by special rigid lower
anchor bars built onto the floor. Whenever
possible, Maruti Suzuki recommends that
child restraint systems be installed on the
rear seat. According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly restrained
in rear seating positions than in front seat-
ing positions.
NOTE:
Observe any statutory regulation about
child restraints.
WARNING
61M0241
• Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger's seat.
• If you install a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat, slide the front
seat far enough forward so that the
child’s feet do not contact the front
seatback. This will help avoid
injury to the child in the event of an
accident.
• Children could be endangered in a
collision if their child restraint sys-
tems are not properly secured in
the vehicle. When installing a child
restraint system, follow the instruc-
tions below. Secure the child in the
restraint system according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING
(Continued)
• If you recline the seatback, a child
restraint system may not be
secured properly and a child body
may slip beneath the seat belt. This
may cause severe injury.
Do not recline the seatback when a
child restraint system is installed
on the seat.
• If you use the child restraint sys-
tem which was severely damaged
by an accident, etc., it may not pro-
vide the best performance. This
may cause severe injury to a child.
If the child restraint system was
severely damaged by an accident,
etc., do not reuse the child restraint
system even though its appearance
looks normal.
