Renault Master Van 2004 - Child Safety and Seat Installation

CHILD SAFETY
Tn all countries there are regulations
governing the use of restraints for
children and babies.
In Europe children under 10 years
of age’ must be seated in an
approved satety device which is
suitable for the weight and size of
the child,
The driver is responsible for
ensuring
that
this
equipment
is
used correctly.
Child restraints for which type
approval was obtained after January
1992 offer a level of safety much
greater than restraints with type
approval before that date.
We therefore advise you to select an
approved child restraint _ that
complies with European regulation
ECE 44.
Restraints that comply with this
legislation must be marked with an
orange label bearing the letter E
followed by a number (which
represents the country where it is an
approved type) and the year in
which the type approval was
granted.
(1) Always comply with the laws of the
country in which you are travelling.
They may be different to the
guidelines in this handbook.
Remember that an impact at
30 mph (50 km/h) is the same as
falling from a height of 10 metres.
Expressed in — other _ terms,
transporting a child without a
restraint is the equivalent of
allowing him or her to play on a
third-floor balcony which does not
have any railings.
Under no circumstances
should babies or children
be allowed to travel sitting
on the knees of another
passenger in the vehicle.
Ifa frontal impact occurs at 30 mph
(50 km/h) a child weighing 30 kg
will be transformed into a missile
equivalent to one tonne: you will
find it impossible to hold the child,
on if you yourself are wearing a
belt.
It is particularly dangerous to put
the belt round your child when he
on your lap. Never
r more than one
me time.
The tables on the following pages
inform you of the types of seat that
can be fitted in each of the vehicle
seat positions on the vehicle in
accordance with the European
directive.
Before installing a child seat in the
front seat (if installation is
permitted)
If the passenger seat is fitted with
one, carry out the following
adjustments:
- move the passenger seat as far
back as possible;
- set the seatback to its fully upright
position;
- lower the seat squab to its lowest
setting;
- raise the headrest to its highest
setting;
- move the seat belt height control
to the low position.
Refer to the Child safety equipment
booklet available “from the
RENAULT Network to choose the
seat most suited to your child and
recommended for your vehicle.
