Guidelines for Seating Children

WARNING: Do not use a child restraint on a seat with an operational airbag in front of it. There is a risk of death or serious injury when the airbag deploys. Collision statistics show that children are safest when properly restrained in a child or infant restraint system that is secured in a rear seating position.

WARNING: Do not use a forward-facing child seat until the child using it is above the minimum weight of 20 lb (9 kg) and able to sit up unaided. Up to the age of 2 years, a child's spine and neck are not sufficiently developed to avoid injury in a frontal impact.

WARNING: Do not allow a baby or infant to be held or carried on the lap. The force of a collision can increase effective body weight by as much as 30 times, making it impossible to hold onto the child. At all times, children should be restrained in age- and size- appropriate child seats to reduce the risk of injury in a collision.

The seat belts fitted to your vehicle are designed for adults and larger children. For the safety of infants and children under 12, it is very important that they are restrained in a suitable child safety seat appropriate for their age and size.You should only fit a child seat that has been approved for use in your vehicle. Ensure that the manufacturer's fitting instructions are followed exactly. You can contact Fisker for a list of approved child seats. See Contacting Fisker.

Note: The legislation which governs how and where children should be carried when traveling in the vehicle is subject to change. It is the responsibility of the driver to comply with all current regulations in force.

WARNING: Extreme hazard! Do not use a rear-facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it.

This label is affixed to the dashboard on the passenger side to warn against the use of a rear-facing child seat when the front passenger airbag is operational.
