Child Restraint
1. First, adjust the front seat to allow
clearance between the
child-restraint system and the front
seat.
Refer to Adjusting the Driver's Seat
on page 2-5.
Refer to Adjusting the Front
Passenger's Seat on page 2-13.
2. Make sure the seatback is securely
latched by pushing it back until it is
fully locked.
3. Remove the cover of the
child-restraint system's ISOFIX
anchors to verify the locations of
the ISOFIX anchors.
1. ISOFIX anchor
2-46
NOTE
The ISOFIX anchors marking on

the cover indicates the position of
the ISOFIX anchors for the
attachment of a child-restraint
system.
Store the removed cover so that it

does not get lost.
4. Remove the head restraint.
However, when installing a booster
seat, always install the vehicle head
restraint to the seat where the
booster seat is installed.
Refer to Head Restraints on page
2-17.
5. Secure the child-restraint system
using the ISOFIX anchor, following
the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instruction.
6. If your child-restraint system came
equipped with a tether, that
probably means it is very important
to properly secure the tether for
child safety. Please carefully follow
the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions when
installing tethers (page 2-44).
WARNING
Always attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor position:
Attaching the tether strap to the
incorrect tether anchor position is
dangerous. In a collision, the tether
strap could come off and loosen the
child-restraint system. If the
child-restraint system moves it could
result in death or injury to the child.
