installed that they are not liable, during everyday use of the vehicle, to become trapped by a
movable seat or in a door of vehicle.

•

The child car seat must always be placed in a rearward facing position.

•

Always make sure that the child car seat harness and vehicle belt are correctly tensioned to

ensure maximum protection for your child.

Safely secure any luggage and other objects that might cause injury to the occupant of the

After an accident, replace your child car seat and the vehicle seat belts. Although they may
look undamaged, they may not continue to protect your child as well as they should.

shoulder straps with the other hand keeping the TMS catch pushed down. Releasing the catch
