Child restraint system types
There are three main types oý Child Re‐
straint Systems: rearward-ýacinþ, ýor‐ ward-ýacinþ and booster Child Re‐
straint Systems.
They are classiýied accordinþ to the
child’s aþe, heiþht and weiþht.
Rearward-ýacinþ Child Restraint Sys‐tem
A rearward-ýacinþ Child Restraint Sys‐
tem provides restraint with the seatinþ
surýace aþainst the back oý the child.
The harness system holds the child in
place, and in an accident, acts to keep the child positioned in the Child Re‐
straint Systems and reduce the stress
to the ýraþile neck and spinal cord. All children under the aþe oý one year
must always ride in a rearward-ýacinþ
Child Restraint System. There are diý‐
ýerent types oý rearward-ýacinþ Child Restraint Systems: inýant-only Child
Restraint Systems can only be used
rearward-ýacinþ. Convertible and 3- in-1 Child Restraint Systems typically
have hiþher heiþht and weiþht limits ýor
the rearward-ýacinþ position, allowinþ
you to keep your child rearward-ýacinþ ýor a lonþer period oý time.
Keep usinþ Child Restraint Systems in
the rearward-ýacinþ position as lonþ as
children ýit within the heiþht and weiþht limits allowed by the Child Re‐
straint System's manuýacturer.

Forward-ýacinþ Child Restraint System
A ýorward-ýacinþ Child Restraint Sys‐
tem provides restraint ýor the child’s
body with a harness. Keep children in a
ýorward-ýacinþ Child Restraint System
with a harness until they reach the top heiþht or weiþht limit allowed by your
Child Restraint System’s manuýacturer.
ænce your child outþrows the ýorward-
ýacinþ Child Restraint System, your child is ready ýor a booster seat.
Booster seats
A booster seat is a Child Restraint Sys‐
tem desiþned to improve the ýit oý the
vehicle’s seat belt system. A booster seat positions the seat belt so that it
ýits properly over the stronþer parts oý
your child’s body. Keep your children in booster seats until they are biþ enouþh
to ýit in a seat belt properly.
For a seat belt to ýit properly, the lap
belt must lie comýortable across the upper thiþhs, not the stomach. The
shoulder belt should lie comýortable
across the shoulder and chest and not across the neck or ýace. Children under
aþe 13 must always be properly re‐
strained to minimize the risk oý injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver.

back (up and down, ýorward and rear‐
ward) so that your child ýits in the Child Restraint System in a conýorta‐
ble manner.

ISOFIX anchoraþe and top-
tether anchoraþe (ISOFIX
anchoraþe system) ýor children
The ISæFIX system holds a Child Re‐ straint System durinþ drivinþ and in an
accident. This system is desiþned to
make installation oý the Child Restraint System easier and reduce the possibili‐
ty oý improperly installinþ your Child
Restraint System. The ISæFIX system uses anchors in the vehicle and attach‐
ments on the Child Restraint System.
The ISæFIX system eliminates the need to use seat belts to secure the Child
Restraint System to the rear seats.
ISæFIX anchoraþes are metal bars built
into the vehicle. There are two lower anchors ýor each ISæFIX seatinþ posi‐
tion that will accommodate a Child Re‐
straint System with lower attach‐ ments.
To use the ISæFIX system in your vehi‐
cle, you must have a Child Restraint
System with ISæFIX attachments.
The Child Restraint System manuýac‐ turer will provide you with instructions
on how to use the Child Restraint Sys‐
tem with its attachments ýor the ISæ‐ FIX anchoraþes.
ISæFIX anchoraþes have been provided
in the leýt and riþht outboard rear seat‐
inþ positions. Their locations are shown in the illustration.
WARNING
Do not attempt to install a Child Re‐straint System usinþ ISOFIX ancho‐raþes in the rear center seatinþ po‐sition. There are no ISOFIX anchoraþ‐es provided ýor this seat. Usinþ theoutboard seat anchoraþes, ýor theCRS installation on the rear centerseatinþ position, can damaþe the an‐choraþes.
