Securing an Add-On Child
Restraint in the Vehicle
{
Warning
A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a crash if the child
restraint is not properly secured in
the vehicle. Secure the child
restraint properly in the vehicle
using the vehicle's seat belt or
ISOFIX system, following the
instructions that came with that
child restraint and the instructions
in this manual.
To help reduce the chance of injury,
the child restraint must be secured in
the vehicle. Child restraint systems
must be secured in vehicle seats by
lap belts or the lap belt portion of a
lap-shoulder belt, or by the ISOFIX
system. See
for more information.
Children can be endangered in a crash
if the child restraint is not properly
secured in the vehicle.
When securing an add-on child
restraint, refer to the instructions that
come with the restraint which may be
on the restraint itself or in a booklet,
or both, and to this manual. The child
restraint instructions are important,
so if they are not available, obtain a
replacement copy from the
manufacturer.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child
restraint can move around in a
collision or sudden stop and injure
people in the vehicle. Be sure to
properly secure any child restraint in
the vehicle - even when no child is
in it.
Securing the Child Within the
Child Restraint
{
Warning
A child can be seriously injured or
killed in a crash if it is not properly
secured in the child restraint.
Secure the child properly following
the instructions that came with
that child restraint.
Where to Put the Restraint
According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer when
properly restrained in an appropriate
child restraint secured in a rear
seating position.
Whenever possible, children aged
12 and under should be secured in a
rear seating position.
The vehicle is equipped with a front
centre airbag in the inboard side of
the driver seat. Even with a front
centre airbag, a child restraint can be
installed in any second row seating
position.
{
Danger
When using a child restraint system
on the front passenger seat, the
airbag systems for the front
passenger seat must be deactivated;
if not, the triggering of the airbags
poses a risk of fatal injury to the
child.
