1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
n
Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual and fix
the child restraint system securely in place.
If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other passen-
gers may be injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is posi-
l
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 an accident or sudden
braking.
Make sure the outside rear seat head restraints are not in the folded position.
l
Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.
l
Push and pull the child seat from side to side and forward to be sure it is secure.
l
After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
l
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufac-
l

If the driver' s seat interferes with the child
l
restraint system and prevents it from being
attached correctly, attach the child restraint
system to the right-hand rear seat.
Only put a forward facing or booster child
l
seat on the front seat when unavoidable.
When installing a forward facing or
booster child seat on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as possible
even if the "AIR BAG OFF" indicator light is
illuminated. Failing to do so may result in
death or serious injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).
