WARNING

LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint systems

do not offer sufficient protective effect for

children whose weight is greater than 48 lbs

(22 kg) who are secured using the safety belt

integrated in the child restraint system. In the

event of an accident, a child might not be

restrained correctly. This poses an increased

risk of injury or even fatal injury.
If the child weighs more than 48 lbs (22 kg),

only use LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint

systems with which the child is also secured

with the vehicle seat belt. Also secure the

child restraint system with the Top Tether

belt, if available.

When installing a child restraint system, be

sure to observe the manufacturer's

installation instructions and the instructions

for correct use of the child restraint system.

WARNING

If the rear seat backrests are not locked, they

could fold forwards in the event of an

accident, heavy braking or sudden changes of

direction. As a result, child restraint systems

cannot perform their intended protective

function. Rear seat backrests that are not

locked can also cause additional injuries, e.g.

in the event of an accident. This poses an

increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
