Get Occupant safety -> CHILD SEATS Guide for Land Rover Evoque SUV 2020

Occupant safety

The seat belts fitted to your vehicle are

designed for adults and larger children. For

their safety it is very important for all infants

and children under 12 years of age to be

restrained in a suitable child safety seat

appropriate to their age and size.

CHILD SEATS

For optimum safety, children should

travel in the rear of the vehicle at all

times; front passenger seat travel is

not recommended. However, if it is

essential that a child travels in the

front (not permitted in Australia), set

the vehicle seat fully rearward and

seat the child in an approved

If it is essential that a child travels in the front

passenger seat (and national legislation

permits this), Land Rover recommends that

the following preparations are made before

fitting the child restraint.

forward-facing child seat. Do not use

a rear-facing child seat - an inflating

airbag could impact with the seat and

cause serious injury.

ꢀ

Disable the front passenger airbag. See 56,

VEHICLE INFORMATION AND SETTINGS

MENU.

Do not use a forward facing child seat

until the child using it is above the

minimum weight of 9 kg (20 lb.) and

able to sit up unaided. Up to the age of

two, a child's spine and neck are not

sufficiently developed to avoid injury

in a frontal impact.

ꢀ

Adjust the front passenger seat fully

rearwards.

Adjust the lumbar support to its minimum

support position.

Adjust the seat cushion to its highest

position. If cushion rake adjustment is

possible, adjust it to its lowest position.

Do not allow a baby or infant to be

held or carried on the lap. The force of

a crash can increase effective body

weight by as much as thirty times,

making it impossible to hold onto the

child.

ꢀ

Adjust the seat back to the fully upright

position.

Adjust the seat belt adjustable upper

anchorage to its lowest position.

Extreme hazard! Do not use a

rearward facing child restraint on a

seat protected by an airbag in front of

it!

Children typically require the use of a

booster seat appropriate to their age

and size, thereby enabling the seat

belts to be properly fitted, reducing

the risk of injury in a crash. Children

could be endangered in a crash if their

child restraints are not properly

secured in the vehicle.

Do not use a child seat that hooks over

the seat back. This type of seat cannot

be satisfactorily secured and is

unlikely to be safe for your child.

Occupant safety

This symbol, affixed to the end of the facia on

the passenger side, warns against the use of a

rear-facing child seat in the front passenger

seat, when a front passenger airbag is fitted

and operational.

Note: The information contained in the

following table may not be applicable to all

countries. If you are in any doubt regarding the

type and fitment of child seats seek advice from

your Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Note: Ages given are approximate. In case of

doubt, the child’s weight not age should be

used when considering an appropriate child

seat.

CHILD SEAT POSITIONING

Crash statistics show that children are

safest when properly restrained in a

child or infant restraint system that is

secured in a rear seating position.

Note: The legislation which governs how and

where children should be carried when

travelling in a vehicle, is subject to change. It is

the responsibility of the driver to comply with

all regulations in force.

Information given within the table is

correct at the time of going to press.

However, availability of child restraints

may change. Please consult your

Dealer/Authorised Repairer for the

latest recommendation.
