Installation on the rear seats(Continued)
Always make sure that theshoulder belt portion of the
outboard lap/shoulder belt is
positioned midway over the
shoulder, never across the
neck or behind the back.
Moving the child closer to the
center of the vehicle may help
provide a good shoulder belt
fit. The lap belt portion of thelap/shoulder belt or the center
seat lap belt must always be
positioned as low as possible
on the child's hips and as
snug as possible.
If the seat belt will not proper- ly fit the child, we recommend
the use of an approved boost-
er seat in the rear seat in order
to raise the child's seatingheight so that the seat belt will
properly fit the child.
(Continued)(Continued)
Never allow a child to stand upor kneel on the seat.
Never use an infant carrier or child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback; it may not
provide adequate security inan accident.
Never allow a child to be held in a person's arms while they
are in a moving vehicle, asthis could result in serious
injury to the child in the event
of an accident or a sudden
stop. Holding a child in a mov-
ing vehicle does not provide
the child with any means of
protection during an accident,
even if the person holding the
child is wearing a seat belt.
WARNING
Before installing the child restraint system, read the
instructions supplied by the
child restraint system manu-
facturer.
Failure to observe this manual instructions regarding childrestraint system and the
instructions provided with the
child restraint system could
increase the chance and/or
severity of injury in an acci-dent.

Installing a child restraint system by
lap/shoulder belt (on the outboard
rear seat)
To install a child restraint system on
the outboard rear seats, do the fol-
lowing:
1. Place the child restraint system in
the desired position.
2. Extend the shoulder/lap belt from its retractor. 3. Route the lap/shoulder belt
through the restraint according to
the seat manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
WARNING
Do not install any child restraint system in the front
passenger seat. Should anaccident occur and cause the
passenger airbag to deploy, it
could severely injure or kill an
infant or child seated in an
infant or child seat. Therefore,
only use a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat of your
vehicle.
If the child restraint seat is not anchored properly, the risk of
a child being seriously injured
or killed in a collision greatlyincreases.

seats. 2. Route the child restraint seat strap
over the seatback.

rest, route the tether strap under
the headrest and between the

Securing a child restraint system
with “ISOFIX” system and “Tether Anchorage” system (if equipped)
ISOFIX is a standardised method of fitting child seats that eliminates theneed to use the standard adult seat
belt to secure the seat in the vehicle.
This enables a much more secure
and positive location with the added
benefit of easier and quicker installa-tion. An ISOFIX-seat can only be installed
if it has vehicle-specific approval inaccordance with the requirements ofECE-R44.
