3-12 Before driving
Child restraint tether anchorages and brackets
The tether brackets are positioned on the rear parcel shelf at the
centre-line of each rear seating position. The child restraint
upper tether can be fitted directly to the brackets.
Note: Always ensure that child restraint assemblies are fitted in
strict accordance with the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
Look for the following when selecting a child restraint system:
• It should have a label certifying that it meets the applicable
Regulations.
• Carefully read the instructions supplied with the restraint.
Be sure you understand them and can install and use the
device properly and safely in the vehicle.
• Ensure that the child restraint system is appropriate for the
child’s weight and development. The label required by the
standard or regulations, or instructions for infant restraints,
usually provide this information.
Wearing of child restraints
Ensure that there is no slack in the webbing and that the
restraint fits the child snugly across the rib cage and hips. These
are the parts of the body most able to take the force of impact.
The lap strap should pass across the top of the child’s thighs,
bearing on the pelvis, not the abdominal area.
Infant safety
Babies and small children who cannot sit up by themselves
should be carried in an approved Jaguar baby seat.
