CHILD SAFETY LOCKS
If children are to be carried in the rear seat
positions, it is recommended that the rear
door interior handles are disabled.
To change the child lock settings:
1. Open the door to access the child
safety lock.
2. Insert the key blade from the Smart
key into the slot and rotate a quarter
of a turn to enable or disable the
interior door handle as required. The
enable/disable positions are shown in
the illustration.
CHILD SEATS
For optimum safety, children
should travel in the rear of the
vehicle at all times; front
passenger seat travel is not
recommended. However, if it is
essential that a child travels in the
front (not permitted in Australia),
set the vehicle's seat fully
rearward and seat the child in an
approved forward-facing child
seat. Do not use a rearward-facing
child seat - an inflating airbag
could impact with the seat and
cause serious injury.
Do not use a forward-facing child
seat until the child using it is
above the minimum weight of 9
kg and able to sit up unaided. Up
to the age of two, a child's spine
and neck are not sufficiently
developed to avoid injury in a
frontal impact.
Do not allow a baby or infant to
be held or carried on the lap. The
force of a crash can increase
effective body weight by as much
as thirty times, making it
impossible to hold onto the child.
At all times, children should be
restrained in age and size
appropriate child seats to reduce
the risk of death or serious injury
in a crash.
Children could be endangered in
a crash if their child restraints are
not properly secured in the
vehicle. Always follow the
instructions that accompany the
child seat carefully.
