Child restraints
Warning
WARNING – EXTREME HAZARD
Do not use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
airbag in front of it.
The child could be seriously
injured if the airbag infl ates, as the
child’s head would be very close
to the infl ating airbag.
Remember that it is safest for
children to be seated in the
rear seats.
Warning
This manual provides you with
general information concerning
child restraints only.
The driver is required by law to
ensure that passengers are
suitably restrained. In most
States and Territories of Australia
and New Zealand, specifi c laws
may exist which require children
to be seated in approved child
restraints.
Holden strongly recommends
that you refer to your specifi c
State or Territory regulations to
determine which child restraint is
suitable for your child.
Warning
Always ensure that the seat
belt fi ts fi rmly around the child
restraint.
If a child cannot see out of the
window, do not raise him/her by
means of an ordinary cushion. It
will not stay in place in a collision
and the child can slip out of the
straps and become entangled.
Note
Fitting some child seats may require
removal of the rear head restraint(s).
1. Raise the head restraint fully.
2. Insert a small probe into the hole
on the non adjusting pole guide.
3. Press the probe inwards.
4. Simultaneously, press the
release button.
5. Lift the head restraint up and out.
6. Store the head restraint in a safe
location.
