FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN
YOUR CHILD STRIKING THE VEHICLE'S INTERIOR DURING A
SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH. SECURE THE EXPRESSWAY WITH
A VEHICLE SEAT BELT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS INSTRUCTION
BOOKLET.
• Secure the Expressway even when it is not occupied. In a
crash, an unsecured child seat may injure other vehicle
occupants.
• DO NOT place any child seat in the front seat of a vehicle
with a passenger airbag unless the airbag is turned off -
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur. The back seat is
the safest place for children 12 and under.
• Owners of vehicles with front passenger side air bags
should refer to their vehicle owner’s manual for child
restraint installation instructions.
• The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
recommends, based on accident statistics, that parents
select the rear seat as the safest location for a child seat.
However, the actual dimensions of the vehicle seat and the
details of the vehicle safety belts used to anchor the child
seat differ from vehicle to vehicle. Please study the section
on Compatible Seat Belts in this booklet for the safety
assurance of your child. If in doubt about installing your
child seat using the vehicle safety belts, consult your motor
vehicle handbook or your Britax retailer.
• The primary protection for occupants of a motor vehicle in
a collision is the body of the vehicle itself, and a child
restraint will not protect a child when the vehicle body is
seriously impacted. However, correctly installed, the
Expressway is designed to substantially improve the
chances for survival in crashes. Make sure that you fully
understand the correct way to use the Expressway in your
vehicle.
• DO NOT use child seats that are older than six years or
that have been in a severe crash (i.e. main vehicle body
structure distorted). This ensures that no hidden damage
or deterioration has occurred.
• ALWAYS check that the child seat is still secure and that
the seat belts are tight before use. If there is any slack in
the seat belts, re-tighten them before starting your
journey.
When the ISOFIT Connectors are not in use, they must be
securely connected to the tie wraps located under the cover on
each side of the child seat.
