Child restraint precautions

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. Adjust the seatback as upright as possi-

ble and always move the seat as far back as possible even if the "AIR BAG OFF"

indicator light is illuminated, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with

considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously

Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the

front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt

extender connected to the seat belt, 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 collision.

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, center and rear pillars or roof side rail from

which the SRS side airbags 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.

Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the

child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not

secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a

sudden stop or accident.
