Safety for children
It is clearly demonstrated by accident
statistics that generally children are
safer on the back seat than on the
passenger’s seat. Therefore, children
under 12 years of age must normally
travel on the rear seats
1)
. Depending
on age, height and weight, they have
to use a suitable child restraint sys-
tem or a seat belt. For safety reasons,
the child seat must be fit in the center
of the rear seat or behind the passen-
ger’s seat.
The physical principles apparent in
an accident, which are detailed on
pages 1.3 to 1.5, naturally also apply
to children.
As opposed to adults, the muscle and
bone structures of children are not
yet fully formed. As such, children are
subject to a higher risk of injury.
In order to reduce this risk of injury,
children may only be transported in
special child restraint systems!
Warning
•
All vehicle occupants, and par-
ticularly children, must be belted
in during the journey.
•
You should never allow your
child to stand or kneel whilst the
vehicle is in motion. Should an
accident occur , your children will
be thrown out of the vehicle and
could be seriously injured.
1)
Different norms may apply to different coun-
tries.
•
If children lean whilst the vehi-
cle is in motion or adopt an incor-
rect sitting position, they are sub-
jected to an increased risk of
injury. This applies in particular to
children seated on the passenger
seat when the Airbag system is
triggered during an accident. This
could cause serious or fatal
injuries.
•
A suitable child restraint system
can protect your child!
•
Do not leave your child unat-
tended in the child seat
•
Children under 1.50 m (approx.
under 12 years of age) must not
use normal seat belts without the
child restraint system. This could
cause injury to the stomach and
neck.
