SB090B1-E Babies/Small Children Babies and small children must be restrained using a restraint system specifically designed for this purpose. Under no circumstances should a childbe carried in the vehicle without the use of a suitable restraint which meets the regulations in force in the countrywhere the vehicle is in operation.
SEAT BELTS
!WARNING:
The folding rear seats are intended to allow the carriage of longer ob- jects than could otherwise be ac-commodated. Do not allow passen- gers to sit on top of the folded- down seatback whilst the car is inmotion since the folded seat does not provide a suitable sitting facil- ity and no seat belts are availablefor use. Objects carried on the folded seatback should not extend higher than the top of the frontseats and must be securely re- strained to prevent injury or dam- age during sudden deceleration. SB500A1-E REAR PARCEL SHELF Large or heavy items must not be placed upon the rear parcel shelf to prevent the possibility of injury arisingfrom such items in the event of impact.
SB090A1-E SEAT BELT PRECAUTIONS Seat belts should be worn at all times by all occupants front and rear. Thepossibility of injury or the severity of injuries suffered in the event of an accident will be greatly reduced by thewearing of seat belts. In addition the following recommenda- tions should be observed.

B210A01A-AAT To Release the Seat Belt The seat belt is released by pressing the release button in the locking buckle. When it is released, the belt shouldautomatically draw back into the re- tractor. If this does not happen, check the beltto be sure it is not twisted, then try again.
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
B230A03P-EAT Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be restrained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or suddenmanoeuvre. According to accident sta- tistics, children are safer when prop- erly restrained in the rear seats than inthe front seat. Larger children should use one of the seat belts provided. You are required by law to use safetyrestraints for children. If small children ride in your vehicle you must put them in a child restraint system (safety seat).Children could be injured or killed in a crash if their restraints are not properly secured. For small children and ba-bies, a child seat or infant seat must be used. Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits yourcar seat and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the instructions pro- vided by the manufacturer when in-stalling the child restraint system.
B210A01L-R
B200A01S-GAT Adjusting Your seat Belt You should place the belt as low as possible on your hips, not on your waist. If the belt is located too high onyour body, you could slide under it in case of accident or a sudden stop. This could result of death, seriousinjury or property damage. Both arms should not be under or over the belt. Rather, one should be over and theother under, as shown in the illustra- tion. Never wear the seat belt under the armnearest the door. B200A01L-R

!WARNING:
o A child restraint system must be placed in the rear seat. Never install a child or infant seat on the front passenger's seat.Should an accident occur and cause the passenger side airbag to deploy, it could severely in-jure or kill an infant or child seated in an infant or child seat. Thus, only use a child restraint in therear seat of your vehicle.
o Since a safety belt or child re-
straint system can become very hot if it is left in a closed vehicle, be sure to check the seat coverand buckles before placing a child there.
o When the child restraint system is not in use, store it in the lug-gage compartment or fasten it with a safety belt so that it willnot be thrown forward in the case of a sudden stop or an accident. o Never use an infant carrier or
child safety seat that "hooks"over a seatback; it may not pro- vide adequate security in an ac-cident.
o Never allow a child to be held in
a person's arms whilst they are ina moving vehicle, as this could result in serious injury to the child in the event of an accidentor a sudden stop. Holding a child in a moving vehicle does not provide the child with any meansof protection during an accident, even if the person holding the child is wearing a seat belt.
o If the child restraint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of achild being seriously injured orkilled in a collision greatly in- creases.
o Children who are too large to be
in a child restraint should sit in the rear seat and be restrained with the available lap/shoulder belts. Never allow children to ridein the front passanger seat.
o Always make sure that the shoul-
der belt portion of the outboardlap/shoulder belt is positioned midway over the shoulder, never across the neck. Moving the childcloser to the centre of the vehicle may help provide a good shoul- der belt fit. The lap belt portion ofthe lap/shoulder belt or the cen- tre seat lap belt must always be positioned as low as possible onthe child's hips and as snug as possible.
o If the seat belt will not properly fit the child, we recommend the useof an approved booster seat in the rear seat in order to raise thechild's seating height so that the seat belt will properly fit the child.
o Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.
