Place the shoulder straps over the child's
body like braces (suspen-ders) and adjust
to length by pushing the belt through the
adjuster buckle and pulling tight until
there is just room to insert the flat of the
hand between the strap and the child's
body. Warning: Always adjust the belts in
this sequence, so that the lap strap re-
mains across the pelvis, not across the
abdomen. Close the seat belt by pushing
the tongue of the strap into the catch. lt
should be po§sible to hear the catch
engaging.
Do not run the risk of injuring the child by
carrying heavy objects on the rear win-
dow shelf behind the child's seat. lf the

could become dislodged.

The `Check-Control' is a means of ensur-
ing that various items of equipment or
engineering systems on the car are in
good working order before the journey
commences.
Before starting the engine, switch on the
ignition and the lights and press down
the brake peda[. At the same time, press
the test button: all the zones represent-
ing the various "systems" should show a
green light. If any monitor light fails to
come on, the corresponding item or
system is defective and should be check-
ed carefully before the journey is under-
taken. See "DRIVING HINTS, MINOR
DEFECTS".
