GROUP 2 (fig. 24)
Children from 15 kg can be secured
directly with the vehicle seat belts. The
child seat has the purpose of posi-
tioning the child correctly with respect
to the seat belt so that the diagonal
section crosses the child’s chest (nev-
er the child’s throat) and the hori-
zontal section fits snugly on the child’s
hips (and not the child’s abdomen).
GROUP 3 (fig. 25)
Children from 22 kg up only require
a cushion to lift them. The size of the
child’s chest no longer requires a sup-
port to space the child’s back from the
seat back.
Children taller than 1.5 m can wear
seat belts like adults.
To sum up the safety precau-
tions to follow when transporting
children:
1) Child restraint systems should be
installed on the rear seat as this is the
most protected area in the vehicle in
the event of a crash.
2) Attain to the instructions for fas-
tening the specific child restraint sys-
tem you are using which must be pro-
vided by the manufacturer. Keep the
child restraint system installation in-
structions with this the vehicle docu-
ments and with this Handbook. Nev-
er use a child restraint system without
installation instructions.
3) Always check the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling the webbing.
4) Only one child can secured to a
child restraint at a time. Never carry
two children in one restraint system.
5) Always check the seat belts do
not fit around the child’s throat.
6) While travelling, do not let the
child sit incorrectly or release the
belts.
7) Passengers should never carry
children or babies on their laps. No-
one, however strong they are, can
hold a child in the event of a crash.
8) Replace the child restraint system
after an accident.
