Child Restraint: Service Precautions
WARNING:- WHEN USING ANY INFANT OR CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER CONCERNING ITS INSTALLATION AND USE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW EACH OF THE RESTRAINT MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN A CHILD STRIKING THE VEHICLE'S INTERIOR DURING A SUDDEN STOP OR COLLISION.
- IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE BOLT/ANCHOR BE SECURELY TIGHTENED TO SPECIFICATION. OTHERWISE, THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SECURED AND THE CHILD COULD BE INJURED IN CASE OF A SUDDEN STOP OR ACCIDENT.
- CHILDREN HAVING A SEATING HEIGHT GREATER THAN 71 CM (28 INCHES), WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT FOR USE OF THE TOT-GUARD, SHOULD USE THE SAFETY BELTS PROVIDED WITH THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE SHOULDER BELT PORTION OF THE LAP SHOULDER SAFETY BELT SHOULD NOT BE USED IF IT CONTACTS THE CHILD'S FACE, CHIN, NECK OR THROAT. IF THE SHOULDER BELT CONTACTS OR REMAINS IN FRONT OF THE CHILD'S FACE, CHIN, NECK OR THROAT, MOVE THE CHILD TO A SEAT WITH A LAP SAFETY BELT ONLY, IF AVAILABLE. OTHERWISE, PLACE THE SHOULDER PORTION BEHIND THE CHILD'S BACK. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PRECAUTION CAN INCREASE THE RISK OR SEVERITY OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.
- USE A SAFETY SEAT THAT IS RECOMMENDED FOR THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THE CHILD. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE SAFETY SEAT MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS WHEN INSTALLING AND USING THE SAFETY SEAT. WHEN INSTALLING A CHILD SAFETY SEAT BE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT SAFETY BELT BUCKLE FOR THAT SEATING POSITION AND MAKE SURE THE TONGUE IS SECURELY FASTENED IN THE BUCKLE.
