1-2. Child safety
WARNING
When installing a child restraint sys-
■
tem
For safety reasons, always install a child
restraint system in a rear seat. In the
event that the rear seat cannot be used,
the front seat can be used as long as the
airbag manual on-off system is set to
"OFF".
If the airbag manual on-off system is left
on, the strong impact of the airbag
deployment (inflation) may cause serious
injury or even death.
When a child restraint system is not
■
installed on the front passenger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off sys-
tem is set to "ON".
If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in
the event of an accident, which may
result in serious injury or even death.

Riding with children
Observe the following precautions
when children are in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle's seat belt.
It is recommended that children
sit in the rear seats to avoid acci-
dental contact with the shift lever,
wiper switch etc.
Use the rear door child-protector
lock or the window lock switch to
avoid children opening the door
while driving or operating the
power window accidentally.
(P.160, 209)
Do not let small children operate
equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the
power window, hood, trunk, seats
etc.
WARNING
When children are in the vehicle
■
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle, and never allow children to have
or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle
or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure
themselves by playing with the windows,
the moon roof, or other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the
vehicle can be fatal to children.
