1-2. Child safety
WARNING
For Taiwan: Never install a child
●
restraint system on the front passenger
seat. In the event of an accident, the
force of the rapid inflation of the front
passenger airbag can cause death or
serious injury to the child if the child
restraint system is installed on the front
passenger seat.
Handling the child restraint system
■
If the child restraint system is not prop-
erly fixed in place, the child or other pas-
sengers may be seriously injured or even
killed in the event of sudden braking, sud-
den swerving, or an accident.
● If the vehicle were to receive a strong
impact from an accident, etc., it is pos-
sible that the child restraint system has
damage that is not readily visible. In
such cases, do not reuse the restraint
system.
● Depending on the child restraint sys-
tem, installation may be difficult or
impossible. In those cases, check
whether the child restraint system is
suitable for installment in the vehicle.
(P.59, 64) Be sure to install and
observe the usage rules after carefully
reading the child restraint system fixing
method in this manual, as well as the
operation manual enclosed with the
child restraint system.
Keep the child restraint system prop-
●
erly secured on the seat even if it is not
in use. Do not store the child restraint
system unsecured in the passenger
compartment.
If it is necessary to detach the child
●
restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the lug-
gage compartment.

system to the front passenger seat
(except for Taiwan)
For the safety of a child, install a child
restraint system to a rear seat. When
installing a child restraint system to a
front passenger seat is unavoidable,
adjust the passenger seat as follows
and install the child restraint system.
 Move the front seat fully rearward. If
the passenger seat height can be
adjusted, move it to the upper most
position.
 Adjust the seatback angle to the
most upright position.
Vehicles with airbag manual on-off switch:
When installing a forward-facing child
seat, if there is a gap between the child seat
and the seatback, adjust the seatback
angle until good contact is achieved.
Vehicles without airbag manual on-off
switch: If there is a gap between the child
seat and the seatback, adjust the seatback
angle until good contact is achieved.
 If the head restraint interferes with
your child restraint system, and the
head restraint can be removed,
remove the head restraint. Other-
wise, put the head restraint in the
upper most position.
