WARNING

Use the correct size child-restraint

system:

For e

ff

ective protection in vehicle

accidents and sudden stops, a child

must be properly restrained using a

seat belt or child-restraint system

depending on age and size. If not, the

child could be seriously injured or even

killed in an accident.

Follow the manufacturer's

instructions and always keep the

child-restraint system buckled down:

An unsecured child-restraint system is

dangerous. In a sudden stop or a

collision it could move causing serious

injury or death to the child or other

occupants. Make sure any

child-restraint system is properly

secured in place according to the

child-restraint system manufacturer's

instructions. When not in use, remove

it from the vehicle or fasten it with a

seat belt, or attach it to BOTH ISOFIX/

LATCH

*1

 lower anchors for ISOFIX/

LATCH

*1

 child-restraint systems and

the corresponding tether anchor.

*

1 ISOFIX (Mexico)/LATCH (Except

Mexico)

Always secure a child in a proper

child-restraint system:

Holding a child in your arms while the

vehicle is moving is extremely

dangerous. No matter how strong the

person may be, he or she cannot hold

onto a child in a sudden stop or

collision and it could result in serious

injury or death to the child or other

occupants. Even in a moderate

accident, the child may be exposed to

air bag forces that could result in

serious injury or death to the child, or

the child may be slammed into an

adult, causing injury to both child and

adult.

Never use a rear-facing child-restraint

system in the front seat with an air

bag that could deploy:

Rear-facing child-restraint systems on

the front seat are particularly

dangerous even though you may feel

assured that a front passenger air bag

will not deploy based on the fact that

the front passenger air bag

deactivation indicator light illuminates.

The child-restraint system can be hit by

a deploying air bag and moved

violently backward resulting in serious

injury or death to the child.
