SAFETY LOCKS.
• Set a good example - always wear your
seat belt.
LATCH child restraints
• Always attach the top tether when
installing the LATCH seat.
• Carefully follow the instructions supplied
with the child seat. Always give the LATCH
seat a final pull, to ensure that the lower
anchors are secure.
• Always use the appropriate child restraints
and adjust the harnesses for every child,
every trip.
• Make sure that a child falls into the correct
weight range for the seat. Avoid dressing a
child in bulky clothing and do not place any
objects between the child and the restraint
system.
• Regularly check the fit of a child seat and
replace seats and harnesses that show
signs of wear.
• No child seat is completely child-proof.
Encourage children not to play with the
buckle or harness.
• Never leave a child unsupervised in the
vehicle.
• Activate the rear door child safety locks.

Note: The legislation which governs how and
where children should be carried when
travelling in a vehicle, is subject to change. It is
the responsibility of the driver to comply with
all regulations in force.
BOOSTER SEATS
In a situation where a child is too large to fit
into a child safety seat (child is over 20 lbs or
7.5 kg), but is still too small to safely fit the
three point belt properly (under 4 feet 9 inches
or 145 cm), a booster seat is recommended for
maximum safety. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for fitting and use, then adjust the
seat belt to suit.
INSTALLING TETHER ANCHORAGE
CHILD RESTRAINTS
Child restraint anchorages 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
equipment or items to the vehicle. Doing so
can greatly increase the risk of serious injury
or death in the event of an accident.
Always follow the child seat or restraint
system manufacturer’s instructions when
fitting tether straps. Failure to do so can
greatly reduce the effectiveness of the child
seat or restraint system in the event of an
accident.
If a child seat or restraint system is to be
fitted in the center seating position, the
center armrest must be in the stowed position
(folded into the seat). It is impossible to
secure the child seat or restraint system
correctly with the armrest in place, which
reduces the effectiveness of the restraint in
the event of an accident.
