Installing a Child Restraint System
(CRS)
WARNING
Before installing your Child
Restraint System always:
Read and follow the instructions
provided 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:
䳜 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/shoul
-
der belt or with the ISOFIX top -
tether and/or ISOFIX anchorage
and/or with the support leg.
䳜 Make sure the Child Restraint
System is firmly secured. After
installing a Child Restraint System
to the vehicle, push and pull the
seat forward and from side-to-
side to verify that it is securely
attached to the seat. A Child
Restraint System secured with a
seat belt should be installed as
firmly as possible. However, some
side-to-side movement can be
expected. When installing a Child
Restraint System, adjust the
vehicle seat and seatback (up and
down, forward and rearward) so
that your child fits in the Child
Restraint System in a confortable
manner.
䳜 Secure the child in the Child
Restraint System. Make sure the
child is properly strapped in the
Child Restraint System according
to the Child Restraint System
manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION
A Child Restraint System in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. To pre
-
vent burns, check the seating sur -
face and buckles before placing your
child in the Child Restraint System.
