Child Restraints
Vehicles fitted with a passenger airbag
Children under 12 years should travel in the
rear of the vehicle at all times. Crash statistics
show that children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear (2nd row) seating
positions than in the front.
Seat belt locking mechanism
All passenger seat belts have a special locking
mechanism which aids the securing of child
restraints. The mechanism is used to secure a
child restraint as follows:
1.
Attach the seat belt to the child restraint in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
However, if it is essential that a child travel in
the front, set the seat fully rearward and seat
the child in a FORWARD FACING child seat.
2.
Insert the metal tongue of the seat belt into
the lock ensuring that it engages with a
'click'.
3.
4.
Pull on the shoulder section of the belt
until it is fully extended.
Allow the belt to retract. A 'clicking' sound
will confirm that the mechanism has
engaged.
5.
6.
7.
Remove all slack from the mechanism, by
pulling upwards on the shoulder belt,
immediately above the child restraint.
Evaluate the tightness of the installation by
rocking the child seat back and forth to
ensure it is tight and stable.
If the child seat needs to be tightened
further, remove the metal tongue of the
seat belt from the buckle and feed some of
the shoulder belt webbing back into the
reel (thereby shortening the belt). Then
reattach the metal tongue into the buckle
(if the belt has been tightened correctly,
this will take some effort).
The above symbol affixed to the passenger side
facia panel of your vehicle, warns against the
use of a REAR FACING child seat in the front
passenger seat, when a passenger airbag is
fitted.
WARNING
EXTREME HAZARD! Do not use a rearward
facing child restraint on a seat protected by an
airbag in front of it. There is a risk of serious
injury or death when the airbag deploys.
8.
Re-evaluate the tightness of the
installation. If the child seat is still too
loose, repeat the above procedure, making
the belt incrementally shorter (and
therefore tighter). It may be necessary to
put your weight onto the seat (to
compress the seat cushion) in order to
fasten the belt.
To deactivate the locking mechanism, unlatch
the seat belt and allow it to fully retract.
