Proper transport of
children
For optimal protection in the
event of a collision, all the vehicle’s
occupants must travel seated
and protected by all the suitable
restraining systems. The seat belts
are designed to be used by persons
whose physical characteristics (age,
height, weight) are provided for
by established legislation in each
country. Anyone who does not comply
with these provisions may not travel
in the front passenger seat. This also
applies to children. Their heads are
proportionally heavier and larger
than those of adults, while their
bones and muscles are relatively
undeveloped. To help protect them
in case of a collision, they must use
special restraint or safety systems,
even in the rear seat.
Incorrect fastening of a child
restraint system increases
the risk of injury to the child
in the event of a collision.
The seat belts on the vehicle have
been designed and tested to protect
people weighing at least 79 lbs
(36 kg) and taller than 59 in (1.50 m).
To help properly protect a child
outside these limits, specific restraint
systems with dedicated belts or
accessories capable of adapting the
child’s position to the vehicle’s seat
belts must be fitted.
If a child seat is installed
on the front passenger’s
seat, the restraint must be
positioned completely backwards and
upwards.
We recommend that child
seats be installed in the rear
seating positions ONLY.
Even with advanced airbags,
children should always be
seated in the rear seats. The
rear seat is the optimal location for
children.
The use of specific restraint systems
for newborns and children is
mandatory, as provided by the law
in all the 50 States of the United
States, the District of Columbia, the
U.S. territories and the Canadian
provinces.
Newborns and children must travel
seated in suitable restraint systems,
using adequate safety abdominal or
diagonal belts or, if present, an upper
anchoring point and a system with 2
lower anchoring points, in order to be
compliant with the U.S. Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards 213 and 225
and with the Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards 213 and 210.2.
No child under 12 should
travel in the front passenger
seat.
Children must never travel
seated on a passenger’s lap.
In a collision, a child becomes
so heavy that it is impossible to hold
onto him or her. For example, in the
event of a collision at only 25 mph
(40 km/h), a child weighing 12 lbs (5.5
kg) exerts a force equal to 240 lbs
(110 kg) on the arms of the person
carrying him/her. Children must
always be protected by a suitable
restraining system when travelling.
WARNING: The vehicle is equipped
with airbag technology that no longer
uses a Passenger Airbag Off function
to indicate that the front passenger
seat is occupied.
Children should be properly
restrained in suitable child seats,
which must be properly installed in
the vehicle (following the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions), and be
placed in the rear passenger seating
area.
