Child safety  
We recommend that you include the manufacturer's directions for child seat  
use in the vehicle wallet and always keep them in the vehicle.  
Brief introduction  
Introduction  
Statistics show that children are generally safer on the rear  
seat than on the front passenger seat.  
We recommend that children under 12 years of age be transported on the rear  
seats. Children travelling on the rear seat must use a child restraint system or  
the seat belts provided, depending on their age, height and weight. For  
safety reasons, the child restraint system should be installed in the centre of  
the rear seat or behind the front passenger's seat.  
The physical principles involved and the forces acting in a collision apply to  
children just as much as adults ⇒ page 19, “Why wear seat belts?”. But  
unlike adults, children do not have fully developed muscle and bone struc-  
tures. This means that children are subject to a greater risk of injury.  
To reduce this risk, children must always use special child restraint systems  
when travelling in the vehicle.  
We recommend the use of child safety products from the SEAT Genuine Acces-  
1)  
sories Program including systems for all ages made by “Peke”  
.
These systems have been especially designed and approved, complying with  
the ECE-R44. regulation.  
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and observe any statutory require-  
ments when installing and using child seats. Always read and observe  
⇒ page 44, “Safety notes on using child seats”.

Safety notes on using child seats  
WARNING (continued)  
Proper use of child seats substantially reduces the risk of  
injury in an accident!  
•
Never allow a child to be transported in a vehicle without being properly  
secured, or to stand up or kneel on a seat while travelling. In an accident,  
the child could be flung through the vehicle, causing possibly fatal injuries  
to themselves and other occupants.  
As the driver, you are responsible for any children you transport in  
your vehicle.  
•
If children assume an improper sitting position when the car is moving,  
they expose themselves to greater risk of injury during a sudden braking  
manoeuvre or in an accident. This is particularly the case if the child is trav-  
elling on the front passenger seat and the airbag system is triggered in an  
accident; this could have consequences including serious injury or death.  
–
Protect your children by properly using appropriate child seats  
⇒ page 45.  
–
Always ensure that the belt webbing is properly positioned  
according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the  
child seat.  
•

•
A suitable child seat can protect your child!  
Never leave a child unsupervised in a child seat or alone in the vehicle.

belt without a child restraint system, as this could cause injuries to the  
abdominal and neck areas during a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an  
accident.  
•
Do not allow the belt webbing to become twisted or jammed, or to rub  
on any sharp edges.  
Incorrectly worn seat belts can cause injuries even in a minor collision  
or sudden braking manoeuvres.  
The seat belt provides maximum protection only when the belt web is  
properly positioned ⇒ page 22, “Seat belts”.  
Only one child may occupy a child seat ⇒ page 45, “Child seats”.  
WARNING  
•
Never install a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat unless  
•
the front passenger airbag has been disabled. Risk of potentially fatal inju-  
ries to the child! If it is necessary, in exceptional circumstances, to trans-  
port a child on the front passenger seat, always disable the front passenger  
airbag ⇒ page 41, “Deactivating airbags*”.  
•
•
•
For those vehicles that do not include a key lock switch to turn the  
airbag off, an Authorised Service Centre must be consulted.  
All passengers, especially children, must assume the proper sitting  
position and be properly belted in while travelling.  
Never hold children or babies on your lap, this can result in potentially  
fatal injuries to the child!

bear the test mark on the seat (the letter E in a circle with the test number  
below it).
