Do not carry an infant or a child in the
your arms or on your laps when
travelling in this vehicle. Infants or children
will become too heavy to carry due to the
impact force in case a collision occurs. For
example, a 5.5 kg infant could result a
sudden 110 kg acting force on the arms of
the holder in case of a collision when the
vehicle moves at a speed of 40 km/h.
Infants should be restrained in a proper
child restraint system.
This vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger airbag. Do not use a rear-
facing child restraint system on the front
passenger seat.
In case of collision, if the front
passenger airbag inflates and
contacts the rear-facing child restraint
system, the child will be severely injured or
killed. A rear-facing child restraint system
should be installed in the rear seat. A
forward-facing child restraint system should
also be installed in a rear seat if possible.
Infants should be supported
comprehensively to lower the risk of
getting hurt in the neck and head. In case of
collision, infant who is restrained in a rear-
facing child restraint system will sit in it
steadily and the collision impact will be
distributed to most stout positions of the
infant, i. e., its back and shoulder. Infants
should always be restrained in a rear-facing
child restraint system.
Hip bone of infants is too small. It may be
difficult to adjust the vehicle’s seat belt as
low as possible to the lower part of child’s
hip bone (on lap). The seat belt may easily
move upward and fasten the abdomen of
the infants. In case of collision, the seat belt
will apply load on the abdomen and will
result in a severe or fatal injury. To lower risk
of severe or fatal injuries to infants, the
infants shall always be restrained in a
proper child restraint system.
Older Children
Older children who cannot be restrained in a
proper child restraint system should sit in
the rear seat and wear the seat belt.
The manufacturer instructions attached to
the child restraint system have the detail
descriptions on the body weight and height
limits for a child sitting in this child restraint
system.
