WARNING
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 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.
When a junior seat (booster seat) is
●
installed, always ensure that the shoul-
der belt is positioned 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.
Use child restraint system suitable to
●
the age and size of the child and install
it to the rear seat.
If the driver's seat interferes with the
●
child restraint system and prevents it
from being attached correctly, attach
the child restraint system to the
right-hand rear seat.
