CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
■
5-seat models: When installing a child restraint system in the rear center seat,
●
adjust both seat seatbacks as upright as possible. The seatbacks must be adjusted
to the same angle. The seatbacks must be adjusted to the same angle. Otherwise,
the child restraint system cannot be securely restrained and this may cause death
or serious injuries in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an acci-
dent.
When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is posi-
●
tioned across the center of the child's shoulder. The belt should be kept away
from the child's neck, but not so that it could fall off the child's shoulder. Failing to
do so may result in death or serious injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
When using the LATCH anchors for a child restraint system, adjust the seatback
●
as upright as possible.
Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.
●
Push and pull the child restraint system from side to side and forward to be sure it
●
is secure.
After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
●
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufac-
●
turer.
Do not use a seat belt extender
■
If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the seat belt
will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious
injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors
■
When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects around
the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child restraint system.
Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may cause death or
serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden
swerve or an accident.
