Never attach two child-restraint

systems to the same ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

lower anchor:

Attaching two child-restraint systems

to the same ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

 lower

anchor is dangerous. In a collision, one

anchor may not be strong enough to

hold two child-restraint system

attachments, and it may break, causing

serious injury or death. If you use the

seat position for another child-restraint

system when an outboard ISOFIX/

LATCH

*1

 position is occupied, use the

center seat belts instead, and the

tether if tether-equipped.

Make sure the child-restraint system is

properly secured:

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. Follow the child-restraint

system manufacturer's instructions on

belt routing to secure the seat just as

you would with a child in it so that

nobody is tempted to put a child in an

improperly secured seat later on.

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.

Make sure there are no seat belts or

foreign objects near or around the

ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

 child-restraint

system:

Not following the child-restraint system

manufacturer's instructions when

installing the child-restraint system is

dangerous. If seat belts or a foreign

object prevent the child-restraint

system from being securely attached to

the ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

 lower anchors

and the child-restraint system is

installed improperly, the child-restraint

system could move in a sudden stop or

collision causing serious injury or death

to the child or other occupants. When

installing the child-restraint system,

make sure there are no seat belts or

foreign objects near or around the

ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

 lower anchors.

Always follow the child-restraint

system manufacturer's instructions.
