ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder

Ensure that the lap part of the seat

A s a s a f e t y p r e c a u t i o n , d o n o t l e a v e :
- one or more children alone and un-supervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- t h e k e y s w i t h i n r e a c h o f c h i l d r e n i n s i d e t h e v e h i c l e .
To prevent accidental opening of the
d o o r s , u s e t h e " C h i l d l o c k " .

The control is located on the edge of

The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an ac-
c i d e n t .
R e m e m b e r t o f a s t e n t h e s e a t b e l t s o r

m i n i m u m , e v e n f o r s h o r t j o u r n e y s .
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle's seat and
that the head restraint does not cause
a n y d i s c o m f o r t .
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
c u r e l y t o p r e v e n t i t f r o m b e i n g t h r o w n
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
b r a k i n g .
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
t h e r e a r s e a t s a r e a l r e a d y o c c u p i e d
b y o t h e r c h i l d r e n , c a n n o t b e u s e d o r
a r e a b s e n t .
Disarm the passenger air bag when
a "rear facing" child seat is installed
o n t h e f r o n t s e a t . O t h e r w i s e , t h e c h i l d
