The incorrect installation of a child seat in a vehicle compromises the child's protection in
t
he event of an accident.
Ensure
that there is no seat belt or seat belt
b
uckle under the child seat, as this could
de
stabilise
i
t.
Remember
to fasten the seat belts or the
c
hild seat harnesses keeping the slack
r
elative to the child's body to a minimum,
e
ven for short journeys.
When
installing a child seat using the seat
b
elt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
c
orrectly on the child seat and that it secures
t
he child seat firmly on the seat of your
v
ehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
m
ove it for wards if necessary.
At
rear seating positions, always leave
s
ufficient space between the front seat and:
-
a
rear ward facing child seat,
-
t
he child's feet for a child seat fitted
fo
rward
f
acing.
To
do this, move the front seat for wards
a
nd, if necessary, move its backrest into the
u
pright
p
osition.
Advice
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- a child or children alone and
u
nsupervised in a vehicle,
-
a
child or an animal in a vehicle which
i
s exposed to the sun, with the windows
c
losed,
-
t
he keys within reach of children inside
t
he vehicle.
To
prevent accidental opening of the doors
a
nd rear windows, use the child lock.
Take
care not to open the rear windows by
m
ore than one third.
To
protect young children from the rays of
t
he sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without
t
ouching the neck.
Ensure
that the lap part of the seat belt
