Understanding the Vehicle
•
Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted child
restraints. Under no circumstances are
they to be used for adult seat belts,
harnesses, or for attaching other items
or equipment to the vehicle.
Important Safety Notice for
Transporting Children
• Keep the instructions in the vehicle
together with the documents and
this owner’s manual. Do not use a
child restraint system which does not
contain instructions for use.
• Every child has to use one child
restraint system; never carry two
children using only one child seat.
• If using the vehicle seat belt, always
check that the belt does not restrain
the child's throat.
• Firmly pull the seat belt to check that it
is correctly buckled.
• Never allow a child to seat improperly
or to unbuckle the seat belt while
driving.
• Never allow a child to wear the
shoulder portion of the belt under the
arms or behind the back.
• Never carry children on your lap, not
even newborns. No one can restrain a
child in the event of an accident.
• In case of accident, replace the child
seat with a new one.

1. U.S. DOT Safety Standards Code
(TIN).

Tire Sizing Chart
EXAMPLE: P305/30 ZR20 (103Y) XL or
305/30 ZR20 (Y103) XL
Size Designation:
P = Passenger car tire size based on
U.S. design standards
“...blank...” = Passenger car tire based
on European design standards
305 = Section width in millimeters
(mm)
30 = Aspect ratio in percent (%) — Ra-
tio of section height to section width
of tire
ZR = Construction Code
• Z: means a tire usable at speeds
greater than 150 MPH (240 km/h)
• R: means radial construction
20 = Rim diameter in inches (in)
Service Description:
103 = Load Index — A numerical code
associated with the maximum load a
tire can carry
Y = Speed Symbol — A symbol indi-
cating the range of speeds at which a
tire can carry a load corresponding to
its load index under certain operating
conditions.
The maximum speed corresponding
to the speed symbol should only be
achieved under specified operating
conditions (i.e., tire pressure, vehicle
loading, road conditions, and posted
speed limits)
