WARNING
Only put a forward-facing child
●
restraint system on the front seat when
unavoidable. When installing a for-
ward-facing child restraint on the front
passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible. Failing to do so may
result in death or serious injury if the
airbags deploy (inflate).
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 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 a child restraint system suitable to
the age and size of the child and install
it to the rear seat.
1-2. Child safety
● 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 (left-hand drive vehi-
cles) or the left-hand rear seat (right-
hand drive vehicles).
● Adjust the front passenger seat so that
it does not interfere with the child
restraint system.
