WARNING
When using a child restraint system
■
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat even if
●
the "AIR BAG OFF" indicator light is illuminated. In the event of an accident, the force
of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to
the child if the rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger
seat.
A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passenger seat
●
only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that requires a top tether strap
should not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top tether strap
anchor for the front passenger seat.
A forward-facing child restraint system may
●
be installed on the front passenger seat only
when it is unavoidable. When installing a for-
ward-facing child restraint system on the front
passenger seat, raise the seatback as much as
possible, move the seat to the rearmost posi-
tion, and raise the seat to the highest position,
even if the "AIR BAG OFF" indicator light is
illuminated.
If the head restraint interferes with the instal-
lation of the child restraint system, and the
head restraint can be removed, remove the
head restraint.
If the head restraint cannot be removed, raise
it to the uppermost position.
Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or
●
any part of his/her body against the door or
the area of the seat, front or rear pillars, or
roof side rails from which the SRS side air-
bags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy
even if the child is seated in the child restraint
system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags
and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the
impact could cause death or serious injury to
the child.
