Forward-facing Child Restraint System
A forward-facing Child Restraint Sys‐
tem provides restraint for the child’s body with a harness. Keep children in a
forward-facing Child Restraint System
with a harness until they reach the top height or weight limit allowed by your
Child Restraint System’s manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the forward-
facing Child Restraint System, your child is ready for a booster seat.
Booster seats
A booster seat is a Child Restraint Sys‐
tem designed to improve the fit of the
vehicle’s seat belt system. A booster seat positions the seat belt so that it
fits properly over the stronger parts of
your child’s body. Keep your children in booster seats until they are big enough
to fit in a seat belt properly.
For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap
belt must lie comfortable across the upper thighs, not the stomach. The
shoulder belt should lie comfortable
across the shoulder and chest and not across the neck or face. Children under
age 13 must always be properly re‐
strained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver.

After selecting a proper Child Restraint
System for your child and checking that the Child Restraint System fits properly
on the seating position, there are three
general steps for a proper installation: •
Properly secure the Child RestraintSystem to the vehicle. All Child Re‐
straint Systems must be secured to
the vehicle with the lap belt or lap
part of a lap/shoulder belt or with the
ISOFIX top-tether and/or ISOFIX an‐
chorage and/or with the support leg.

•Make sure the Child Restraint Systemis firmly secured. After installing a
Child Restraint System to the vehicle, push and pull the seat forward and
from side-to-side to verify that it is
securely attached to the seat. A Child
Restraint System secured with a seat
belt should be installed as firmly as possible. However, some side-to-side
movement can be expected.
When installing a Child Restraint Sys‐
tem, adjust the vehicle seat and seat‐
back (up and down, forward and rear‐
ward) so that your child fits in the Child Restraint System in a comforta‐
ble manner.
•
Secure the child in the Child RestraintSystem. Make sure the child is prop‐
erly strapped in the Child Restraint
System according to the Child Re‐ straint System manufacturer’s in‐
structions.
CAUTION
A Child Restraint System in a closedvehicle can become very hot. To pre‐vent burns, check the seating sur‐face and buckles before placing yourchild in the Child Restraint System.
ISOFIX anchorage and top-
tether anchorage (ISOFIX
anchorage system) for children
The ISOFIX system holds a Child Re‐ straint System during driving and in an
accident. This system is designed to
make installation of the Child Restraint System easier and reduce the possibili‐
ty of improperly installing your Child
Restraint System. The ISOFIX system uses anchors in the vehicle and attach‐
ments on the Child Restraint System.
The ISOFIX system eliminates the need to use seat belts to secure the Child
Restraint System to the rear seats.
ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars built
into the vehicle. There are two lower anchors for each ISOFIX seating posi‐
tion that will accommodate a Child Re‐
straint System with lower attach‐ ments.
To use the ISOFIX system in your vehi‐
cle, you must have a Child Restraint
System with ISOFIX attachments.
The Child Restraint System manufac‐ turer will provide you with instructions
on how to use the Child Restraint Sys‐
tem with its attachments for the ISO‐ FIX anchorages.
ISOFIX anchorages have been provided
in the left and right outboard rear seat‐
ing positions. Their locations are shown in the illustration.
WARNING
Do not attempt to install a Child Re‐straint System using ISOFIX ancho‐rages in the rear center seating po‐sition. There are no ISOFIX anchorag‐es provided for this seat. Using theoutboard seat anchorages, for theCRS installation on the rear centerseating position, can damage the an‐chorages.
