Child Restraint System Warnings
WARNING: Never seat a child in a child restraint system
or a booster seat on the front passenger seat when the
passenger front airbag is active. Doing so can cause
serious injury or death.
WARNING: Never use a rearward facing child restraint
system on a seat protected by an active passenger
front airbag. Doing so can cause serious injury or
death. Refer to the warning label located on the sun
visor.
WARNING: Some child restraint systems are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap
belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Children could be
endangered in a crash if their child restraint systems
are not properly secured in the vehicle.
WARNING: Do not use a forward-facing child restraint
system until your child weighs over 9 kg and can sit
independently. Up to the age of two, a child's spine and
neck are not sufficient to avoid injury in a frontal
impact.
WARNING: Do not allow a baby or infant to be held on
an adult's lap. All children should be restrained in an
appropriate child restraint system at all times.
WARNING: To ensure children are safely seated, follow
all instructions provided in this document and by the
manufacturer of the child restraint system.
WARNING: The seat belt reminder on the touchscreen
is not a substitute for checking if a small occupant or a
child safety seat is properly secured. The seat
occupancy sensors may not identify small occupants
or child seats.
WARNING: Children should ride in a rear-facing child
restraint system using the seat’s integrated 5-point
harness for as long as possible until they reach the
maximum size or weight limit of the rear-facing child
restraint system.
WARNING: When seating larger children, make sure the
child's head is supported and the child’s seat belt is
properly adjusted and fastened. The shoulder portion
of the belt must be away from the face and neck, and
the lap portion must not be over the stomach.
WARNING: Never attach two child restraint systems to
one anchor point. In a collision, one anchor point may
be incapable of securing both seats.
WARNING: Child restraint anchor bars are designed to
withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be
used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching
other items or equipment to the vehicle.
WARNING: Always check harnesses and tether straps
for damage and wear.
WARNING: Never leave a child unattended, even if the
child is secured in a child restraint system.
WARNING: Never use a child restraint system that has
been involved in a collision. Discard the seat and have
it replaced as described in the child restraint system
manufacturer’s instructions.
