Child restraint system (CRS)
Once your child outgrows the forward-
facing Child Restraint System, your child
is ready for a booster seat.
Booster seats
A booster seat is a Child Restraint Sys -
tem designed to improve the fit of the
vehicle's seat belt system. A booster seat
positions the seat belt so that it fits prop -
erly over the stronger parts of your
child's body. Keep your children in
booster seats until they are big enough
to fit in a seat belt properly.
For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap belt
must lie comfortable across the upper
thighs, not the stomach. The shoulder
belt should lie comfortable across the
shoulder and chest and not across the
neck or face. Children under age 13
must always be properly restrained to
minimise the risk of injury in an accident,
sudden stop or sudden manoeuvre.
Installing a Child Restraint Sys -
tem (CRS)
WARNING
Before installing your Child Restraint
System always:
Read and follow the instructions pro -
vided by the manufacturer of the Child
Restraint System.
Failure to follow all warnings and
instructions could increase the risk of
the SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH if an
accident occurs.
WARNING
If the vehicle's headrest prevents proper
installation of a Child Restraint System,
the headrest of the respective seating
position shall be readjusted or entirely
removed.
After selecting a proper Child Restraint
System for your child and checking that
the Child Restraint System fits properly
on the seating position, there are three
general steps for a proper installation:
僅 Properly secure the Child Restraint
System to the vehicle. All Child
Restraint Systems must be secured to
the vehicle with the lap belt or lap part
of a lap/shoulder belt or with the ISO -
FIX toptether and/or ISOFIX anchor -
age and/or with the support leg.
ISOFIX anchorage and top-tether
anchorage (ISOFIX anchorage
system) for children (if equipped)
The ISOFIX system holds a Child
Restraint System during driving and in
an accident. This system is designed to
make installation of the Child Restraint
System easier and reduce the possibility
of improperly installing your Child
Restraint System. The ISOFIX system
uses anchors in the vehicle and attach -
ments on the Child Restraint System.
The ISOFIX system eliminates the need
to use seat belts to secure the Child
Restraint System to the rear seats.
ISOFIX anchorages are metal bars built
into the vehicle. There are two lower
anchors for each ISOFIX seating position
that will accommodate a Child Restraint
System with lower attachments.
To use the ISOFIX system in your vehi -
cle, you must have a Child Restraint Sys -
tem with ISOFIX attachments.
The Child Restraint System manufac -
turer will provide you with instructions
on how to use the Child Restraint Sys -
tem with its attachments for the ISOFIX
anchorages.
