Direction of installation for child restraint
systems
According to accident statistics, children are safer
when properly restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating positions.
Under all normal circumstances, the forward
facing child seat must be placed in the rear.
Group 0 and 0+: Children up to 29 lbs (13 kg)
Children of this weight must be transported in a
restraint system which is installed on the
passenger’s seat facing rearward.
Group I: Children in between 20 lbs (9 kg)
and 40 lbs (18 kg)
Children of this weight are held in child restraint
systems facing forward.
Whenever possible, these child restraint systems
should be installed on the rear seats.
Group II: Children in between 33 lbs (15 kg)
and 55 lbs (25 kg)
Children of this weight are held in child restraint
systems facing forward.
Whenever possible, these child restraint systems
should be installed on the rear seats.
Group III: Children in between 49 lbs (22 kg)
and 80 lbs (36 kg)
Children of this weight are held in child restraint
systems facing forward.
Whenever possible, these child restraint systems
should be installed on the rear seats.
If a child restraint system must be fastened to the
passenger’s seat, the passenger’s seat must be
adjusted to the lower rear position.
Note
If a child seat with top tether is adapted for use on
the front seat, the rear right (passenger’s side) an-
chor point must be used for anchoring the top
tether.
It is then not permitted for a passenger to use the
rear right (passenger’s side) seat.
It is then not permitted to install a child restraint
system on the rear right (passenger’s side) seat.

ANCHORAGES” on Page 55.
