Genesis GV80 - Child Restraint System (CRS); Our Recommendation: Children Always in the Rear; Selecting a Child Restraint System (CRS)

Safety system
3-46
Our recommendation: Children
always in the rear
WARNING
Always properly restrain children in the
vehicle. Children of all ages are safer
when riding in the rear seats. Never
place a rearward-facing Child Restraint
System on the front passenger seat,
unless the air bag is deactivated.
Children under age 13 should always
ride in the rear seats and must always
be properly belted to minimise the risk
of injury in an accident, sudden stop or
sudden manoeuvre.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly belted in the rear
seats than in the front seat. Children too
large for a Child Restraint System must
use the seat belts provided.
Most countries have regulations which
require children to travel in approved
Child Restraint Systems.
The laws governing the age or height/
weight restrictions at which seat belts
can be used instead of Child Restraint
System differs among countries, so
you should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country, and where
you are travelling.
Child Restraint Systems must be properly
installed in the vehicle seat. Always use
a commercially available Child Restraint
System that meets the requirements of
your country.
Child Restraint System (CRS)
Infants and younger children must be
belted in an appropriate rearward-
facing or forward-facing CRS that has
first been properly secured to the seat
of the vehicle. Read and comply with
the instructions for installation and use
provided by the manufacturer of the
Child Restraint System.
WARNING
• Always follow the Child Restraint
System manufacturer’s instructions
for installation and use.
• Always properly restrain your child in
the Child Restraint System.
• Do not use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that “hooks” over
a seatback, it may not provide
adequate protection in an accident.
• After an accident, we recommend a
retailer of Genesis products to check
the Child Restraint System, seat
belts, ISOFIX anchorages and top-
tether anchorages.
Selecting a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
When selecting a Child Restraint System
for your child, always:
• Make sure the CRS has a label
certifying that it meets applicable
Safety Standard of your country.
• Select a Child Restraint System based
on your child’s height and weight. The
required label or the instructions for
use typically provide this information.
• Select a Child Restraint System that
fits the vehicle seating position where
it will be used.
• Read and comply with the warnings
and instructions for installation and
use provided with the Child Restraint
System.
Child Restraint System types
There are three main types of Child
Restraint Systems: rearward-facing,
forward-facing and booster Child
Restraint Systems.
They are classified according to the
child’s age, height and weight.
