Seat belts
Head-on collisions and the laws of
physics Fig. 8
A driver not wearing a seat belt is thrown
f orw
ard violently. Fig. 9
The unbelted passenger in the rear seat
is thr o
wn forward violently, hitting the driver
who is wearing a seat belt. The effects of the laws of physics in the case
of a head-on collision ar
e easy t
o explain: the
moment a vehicle starts moving, a type of en- ergy called “kinetic energy” starts acting on
both the vehicl
e and its passengers.
The amount of “kinetic energy” depends on
the speed of the vehicle and on the weight of
the vehicle and of its passengers. The higher
they are, the more energy there is to be “ab-
sorbed” in the event of an accident.
The most significant factor, however, is the
speed of the vehicle. If the speed doubles
from 25 km/h (15 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph),
for example, the corresponding kinetic ener-
gy is multiplied by four.
Given that the passengers of the vehicle in
our example do not have their seat belts fas-
tened, in the event of a collision the entire
amount of the passengers' kinetic energy will
be only absorbed by the mentioned impact.
Even at speeds of 30 km/h (19 mph) to
50 km/h (30 mph), the forces acting on bod-
ies in a collision can easily exceed one tonne
(1000 kg). At greater speed these forces are
even higher.
Vehicle occupants not wearing seat belts are
not “attached” to the vehicle. In a head-on
collision, they will move forward at the same
speed their vehicle was travelling just before
the impact. This example applies not only to
head-on collisions, but to all accidents and
collisions.
Even at low speeds the forces acting on the
body in a collision are so great that it is not possible to brace oneself with one's hands. In
a front
al collision, unbelted passengers are
thrown forward and will make violent contact
with the steering wheel, dash panel, wind-
screen or whatever else is in the way
››› Fig. 8.
It is also important for rear passengers to
wear seat belts properly, as they could other-
wise be thrown forward violently through the
vehicle interior in an accident. Passengers in
the rear seats who do not use seat belts en-
danger not only themselves but also the front
occupants ››› Fig. 9

Chil
d safety
Introduction For safety reasons, as we have learned from
accident st
atistics, w
e recommend that chil-
dren under 12 years of age travel in the rear
seats. Depending on their age, height and
weight, children travelling in rear seats must
use a child seat or a seat belt. For safety rea-
sons, the child seat should be installed in the
rear seat, behind the front passenger seat or
in the centre back seat.
The physical laws involved and the forces
acting in a collision apply also to children
››› page 19. But unlike adults, children do not
have fully developed muscle and bone struc-
tures. This means that children are subject to
a greater risk of injury.
To reduce the risk of injuries, children must al-
ways use special child restraint systems
when travelling in the vehicle.
We recommend the use of child safety prod-
ucts from the SEAT Original Accessories Pro-
gramme, which includes systems for all ages
made by “Peke” (not for all countries) (see
www.seat.com). These systems have been especially de-
signed and appr
o
ved, complying with the
ECE-R44. regulation.
SEAT recommends securing the child seats
shown on the website as described below:
Transporting children safely
Child seats that have been tested and ap-
pr o
ved under the ECE R44 or ECE-R129
standards bear the ECE-R44 or ECE-R129
test marks on the seat (the letter E in a circle
with the test number below it).
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and
observe any statutory requirements when in-
stalling and using child seats.
We recommend you to always include the
manufacturer's Child Seat Instruction Manual
together with the on-board documentation.
SEAT recommends you use child seats from
the Original Accessories Catalogue. These
child seats have been designed and tested
for use in SEAT vehicles. You can find the right
child seat for your model and age group at
SEAT dealers.
Child seats by approval category
Child seats may have the approval category
of universal, semi-universal, vehicle specific
(all according to the ECE-R44 standard) or i-
Size (according to the ECE-R129 standard).
Safety
Securing the child seat with the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether system Fig. 26
Side seats of the second row: ISOFIX/i-
Siz e securing rings. Fig. 27
Front passenger seat: ISOFIX securing
rings. Child seats can be secured quickly, easily
and saf
ely on the r
ear side seats of the sec-
ond row of seats and the front passenger
seat with the “ISOFIX” and Top Tether system.
Each of the side rear side seats of the second
row of seats and the front passenger seat has
two “ISOFIX” fastening rings. In some vehicles, the rings are secured to the seat frame. The
“ISOFIX” rings are l
ocated between the back-
rest and the seat cushioning of the rear seat
››› Fig. 26 and of the front passenger seat
››› Fig. 27.
The Top Tether rings are located on the rear
part of the backrests of the rear seats (be- hind the seat backrest or in the boot)
›› › Fig. 28. For the front passenger seat, the
ring is below the backrest ››› Fig. 29
.
To understand the compatibility of the "ISO-
FIX" systems in the vehicle, consult the table
below.
