Warning
A heated vehicle may result in death to
persons, especially children, or animals.
There is a risk of injuries or danger to life.
Do not leave persons, especially children,
or animals unattended in the vehicle.
Warning
Exposure to intense sunlight can cause
child restraint systems and their compo-
nents to become very hot. Persons may
sustain burn injuries when touching the
hot components. There is a risk of injury.
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight or cover where necessary.
If necessary, let the child restraint system
cool down before transporting a child. Do
not leave children unattended in the vehi-
cle.
Always transport children in the
rear seat
General information
Accident research shows that the safest
place for children is in the rear seat.
Transport children younger than 13 years of
age or shorter than 5 ft/150 cm only in the
rear seat in suitable child restraint systems
designed for the age, weight and size of the
child. Children 13 years of age or older must
wear a safety belt as soon as a suitable child
restraint system can no longer be used due
to their age, weight, or size.
