WARNING

on the rear seat . According to accident statistics , the child is safer when properly restrained
in the rear seat than in the front seat .
●Holding a child in your or someone else ’ s arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system . In an accident , the child can be
crushed against the windshield or between the holder and the interior of the vehicle .
■ Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place , the child or other passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking , sudden swerving , or an accident .
●If the vehicle were to receive a strong impact from an accident , etc ., it is possible that the child restraint system has damage that is not readily visible . In
such cases , do not reuse the restraint system .
●Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions
provided with the child restraint system manufacturer and that the system is properly secured .
●Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is not in use . Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the passenger compartment .
●If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system , remove it from the vehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment .
