3-10 Before driving
Child safety
J AGUAR C ARS L TD . STRONGLY RECOMMEND
THAT AT ALL TIMES CHILDREN SHOULD BE
CARRIED IN THE REAR SEATS .
In many countries legislation governs
how and where children should be
carried when travelling in a vehicle. It is
the responsibility of the driver to comply
with all regulations in force in the country
where the vehicle is being used.
Holding a baby or child in a person’s
arms is not a substitute for a child
restraint system.
In an accident, a baby or child held in a
person’s arms can be crushed between
the vehicle’s interior and a restrained
person.
The child can also be injured by hitting
the interior or by being thrown from the
vehicle during a sudden manoeuvre or
impact.
Injury can also be caused if the baby or
child is allowed to ride on the seat
unrestrained. Other occupants should
also be properly restrained to help reduce
the chance of injuring the child.
Do not allow children to stand in the
space between the front seats, or on the
rear seats. Children must be restrained by
the use of a child safety restraint
applicable to their weight and size. The
seat must be secured using one of the
rear outboard inertia reel seat belts.
Note: A range of safety restraints are
available as Jaguar Accessories; consult
your Jaguar Dealer for details.
