Child safety
Child restraints
There are three main types of child restraint systems: infant seats, con\
vertible seats, and booster
cushions. They are classified according to the child's age and size.
The following section provides general information on securing a child restraint using a three-point
seat belt. Refer to
pages 39-40 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX lower anchor\
s
and/or top tether anchorages.
WARNING!
A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any veh\
icle with a front passenger
airbag - not even if the "Passenger airbag off" symbol near the rear-vie\
w mirror is illuminated (on
vehicles equipped with Occupant Weight Sensor). If the severity of an a\
ccident were to cause the
airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious injury or death to a child\
seated in this position.
