Quick Overview

SEAT BELTS AND CHILD
RESTRAINTS

WARNING:

The use of front and rear seat belts is
mandatory in most countries. Using
seat belts saves lives. They should be
worn by all occupants, whenever the
vehicle is in use.

A warning indicator on the
instrument pack will illuminate
to alert you that the driver’s

and/or front passenger’s seat belt is
unbuckled. Dependent upon specification
this may be accompanied by an
intermittent chime.

Child Seats

It is important to remember that your
child’s weight, rather than age,
determines the type of seat that is
required.

Refer to Child Safety to determine the
correct seat for your child, see page 69.

Recommended child seat

Jaguar’s recommended the use of a
Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren’s
(LATCH) child seat with a top tether strap.

The LATCH child seat can only be fitted in
the outer seating positions of the rear
passenger seat.

Automatic Locking Reels (ALR)

Passenger seat belts have ALR fitted for
use with child seats.
• To engage: extend the belt to the

maximum length to enable the ocking
mechanism.

• To disengage: unbuckle the belt and

allow the belt to fully retract.

With ALR enabled, the seat belt will
automatically lock as it retracts,
preventing re-extension.

Make sure passengers do not fully extend
the restraints and inadvertently engage
this feature during normal use.

motorcycles, airbrakes).
