General safety information
!
WARNING:
Extreme hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint on a
seat protected by an air bag in front
of it!
Children must be restrained by a
child safety restraint that is suitable
for their weight and size.
Children 12 years old and younger
can be killed or seriously injured by
the air bag. The rear seat is the
safest place for properly restrained
children.
Do not install a rearward-facing
child seat in the front passenger
seat position since deployment of
the passenger facia air bag could
cause death or serious injury to the
child.
If, however, you have no alternative
but to place a child in the front
passenger seat, use only a
forward-facing child seat with the
passenger seat set fully rearward
and in its lowest position.
Always follow the fitting
instructions supplied with the
appropriate child restraint system.
It is important to read and
understand all the information
contained in this handbook relating
to child safety before carrying a
child in your vehicle.
If you are unsure about any aspect
of this information, contact your
Jaguar Dealer.
In many countries legislation governs how
and where children should be carried
when travelling in a vehicle.
It is the responsibility of the driver to
comply with all regulations in force in the
country where the vehicle is being used.
Holding a baby or child in a person’s arms
is not a substitute for a child restraint
system.
In an accident, a baby or child held in this
manner can be crushed between the
vehicle’s interior and a restrained person.
The child can be injured by hitting the
interior or by being thrown from the
vehicle during a sudden manoeuvre or
impact.
