WARNING
When securing some types of child
●
restraint systems in rear seats, it may
not be possible to properly use the
seat belts in positions next to the child
restraint without interfering with it or
affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be
sure your seat belt fits snugly across
your shoulder and low on your hips. If it
does not, or if it interferes with the
child restraint, move to a different posi-
tion. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
When installing a child restraint system
●
in the rear center seat, adjust both seat
cushions to the same position and
align both seatbacks at 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 accident.

The bars are installed in the clearance
between the seat cushion and seatback.
