Children typically require the use
of a booster seat appropriate to
their age and size, thereby
enabling the seat belts to be
properly fitted, reducing the risk
of injury in a crash. Children could
be endangered in a crash if their
child restraints are not properly
secured in the vehicle.
Do not use a child seat that hooks
over the seatback. This type of
seat cannot be satisfactorily
secured and is unlikely to be safe
for your child.
The seat belts fitted to your vehicle are
designed for adults and larger children.
For their safety, it is very important for all
infants and children under 12 years of age
to be restrained in a suitable child safety
seat, appropriate to their age and size.
If it is essential that a child travels in the
front passenger seat (and national or state
legislation permits this), Jaguar Land Rover
Limited recommends that the following
preparations are made before fitting the
child restraint:
• Disable the front passenger airbag.
See 46, DISABLING THE PASSENGER
AIRBAG.
• Adjust the front passenger seat fully
rearwards.
• Adjust the lumbar support to its
minimum support position.
• Adjust the seat cushion to its highest
position. If cushion front tilt adjustment
is possible, adjust it to its lowest
position.
• Adjust the seatback to an upright
position to support the child restraint.
• Adjust the seat belt upper anchorage
to its lowest position (5 door vehicles
only).
Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward-facing child restraint on
a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it!
NEVER use a rearward-facing
child restraint on a seat protected
by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of
it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to
the CHILD can occur.
This symbol, affixed to the front door
B-post on the passenger side, warns
against the use of a rearward-facing child
seat in the front passenger seat, when a
front passenger airbag is fitted and
operational.
