Important considerations for selecting a child restraint system ● When a forward-facing child restraint system is used on the front passenger seat, ensure that the seat is positioned fully rearward away from the active airbag. ● The child restraint system is the correct type and size for the child. ● The child restraint system is the correct type for the seating position. ● If required: ● Adjust the front passenger seat rearwards so that there is no contact between the child sitting in the front passenger seat and the vehicle interior. 01 ● The child restraint system must be approved in accordance with either ECE R44 or ECE R129.
SAFETY Child Safety ● Adjust the front passenger seatback so it has secure contact with the child restraint system. It is recommended that children are seated on a rear outboard seat position, and according to the child seat installation instruction provided by the child seat manufacturer. ● When using a rear-facing child seat, turn the PAB switch to OFF, to disable the front passenger front airbag. For details, see“Passenger Airbag Switch”. ● Where possible, the child seat should be secured with the top tether strap. ● The backrest of the child seat must lay as flat as possible against the vehicle seat backrest.
● If required, adjust the seat backrest angle so that the child seat lies flat against the backrest. ● Once it has been installed, if the child seat is touching the head restraint and therefore cannot be positioned flat against the backrest, raise the head restraint all the way up, or remove it and stow safely in the vehicle. WARNING ● The passenger airbag switch must be turned to ON, immediately after the rear- facing child restraint system is removed from the front passenger seat, to enable the front passenger seat airbag. For additional installation instructions, please read the instructions provided with your child restraint system.
