Installing a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
After selecting a proper Child
Restraint System for your child and
checking that the Child Restraint
System fits properly on the seating
position, there are three general
steps for a proper installation:
• Properly secure the Child
Restraint System to the vehicle.
All Child Restraint Systems must
be secured to the vehicle with the
lap belt or lap part of a lap/shoul-
der belt or with the ISOFIX top-
tether and/or ISOFIX anchorage
and/or with the support leg.
• Make sure the Child Restraint
System is firmly secured. After
installing a Child Restraint System
to the vehicle, push and pull the
seat forward and from side-to-side
to verify that it is securely attached
to the seat. A Child Restraint
System secured with a seat belt
should be installed as firmly as
possible. However, some side-to-
side movement can be expected.
When installing a Child Restraint
System, adjust the vehicle seat
and seatback (up and down, for-
ward and rearward) so that your
child fits in the Child Restraint
System in a confortable manner.
• Secure the child in the Child
Restraint System. Make sure the
child is properly strapped in the
Child Restraint System according
to the Child Restraint System man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING
Before installing your Child
Restraint System always:
Read and follow the instructions
provided by the manufacturer of
the Child Restraint System.
Failure to follow all warnings
and instructions could increase
the risk of the SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH if an accident occurs.
WARNING
If the vehicle headrest prevents
proper installation of a Child
Restraint System, the headrest
of the respective seating posi-
tion shall be readjusted or
entirely removed.
CAUTION
A Child Restraint System in a
closed vehicle can become very
hot. To prevent burns, check the
seating surface and buckles
before placing your child in the
Child Restraint System.
