When installing a child seat in the rear, the
front seat must be moved forward and
upwards to install any rear-facing child seat.
Care must be taken not to load any part of the
child seat when repositioning the front seat.
The space available for front seat occupants
will be reduced by the fitment of any
rearward-facing child seat.
Crash statistics show that children are safest
when properly restrained in a child or infant
restraint system that is secured in a rear
seating position.
LATCH CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHOR
POINTS
Do not attempt to fit a LATCH child restraint to
the center rear seating position. The anchor
bars are not designed to hold a LATCH child
restraint in this position. The effectiveness of
the restraint will be greatly reduced in the
event of an accident.
If the restraint is not correctly anchored,
there is a significant risk of injury to the child
in the event of a collision or emergency
braking.
Child restraint anchorages are designed to
withstand only 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. Doing so
will greatly increase the risk of serious injury
or death in the event of an accident.
If removing a head restraint in order to fit a
child restraint, always secure the head
restraint when storing it. In the event of an
accident, unrestrained objects can
potentially become deadly missiles.
Both of the outer rear seat positions are
equipped to accept LATCH restraints.
For the LATCH restraints installation
instructions, see 24, USING SEAT BELTS AND
CHILD SAFETY LOCKS.
This symbol is on a label sewn into
the seats to indicate the position of
the LATCH lower anchorages.
