Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display 62 Practical hints Car care Technical data Index Restraint systems Infant and child restraint systems Use only a BabySmartTM compatible child restraint in this vehicle. We recommend that all infants and children be properly restrained at all times while the vehicle is in motion. The passenger lap-shoulder belt has a special seat belt retractor for secure fastening of a child restraint. To fasten a child restraint follow child restraint instructions for routing. Then pull shoulder belt out completely and let it retract. During the seat belt retraction a ratcheting sound can be heard to indicate that the special seat belt retractor is activated. The belt is now locked. Push down on child restraint to take up any slack. To deactivate, release seat belt buckle and let seat belt retract completely. The seat belt can again be used in the usual manner. Warning! Never release the seat belt buckle while vehicle is in motion, since the special seat belt retractor will be deactivated. Important! The use of infant or child restraints is required by law in all 50 states and all Canadian provinces. Infants and small children should be seated in an appropriate infant or child restraint system properly secured by a lap-shoulder belt, and that complies with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. A statement by the child restraint manufacturer of compliance with this standard can be found on the instruction label on the restraint and in the instruction manual provided with the restraint. When using any infant or child restraint system, be sure to carefully read and follow all manufacturer's instructions for installation and use. BabySmartTM is a trademark of Siemens Automotive Corp. Please read and observe warning labels affixed to inside of vehicle and to infant or child restraint.
