1-2. Child safety
WARNING
When installing a child restraint sys-
■
tem
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
● Do not allow children to play with the
seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child's neck, it may
lead to choking or other serious inju-
ries that could result in death. If this
occurs and the buckle cannot be
unfastened, scissors should be used to
cut the belt.
Ensure that the belt and plate are
●
securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
Shake the child restraint system left
●
and right, and forward and backward
to ensure that it has been securely
installed.
● After securing a child restraint system,
never adjust the seat.
● 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.
Follow all installation instructions pro-
●
vided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
