WARNING
If a child which is not large enough to correctly wear a seat belt is to ride in the vehicle,
use a child restraint system.
Use child restraint systems correctly.
●
Child restraint systems are designed to protect children in a collision or sudden stop.
Make sure to securely install child restraint systems and use them correctly.
Replace child restraint systems which have been involved in a collision.
●
If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, it is possible that an installed child
restraint system has been damaged and will not be able to deliver the same level of
impact absorption performance, even if the outside of it looks normal.
●
When a child restraint system is not in use, secure it so that it does not interfere with
driving.
When removing a child restraint system, store it outside of the vehicle or securely in
the luggage compartment.
Seating positions for children
It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental contact
with the driver' s controls. In the event of an accident, the force of deployment of the
SRS front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to a child seated on
the front passenger' s seat. Do not allow a child to ride on the front passenger' s seat
unless it is unavoidable.
WARNING
When installing a child restraint system to the front passenger' s seat is unavoidable,
●
move the seat as far back as possible, and install the child restraint system so that it
faces forward. If the child restraint system is not installed correctly, in the event of an
accident, the force of deployment of the SRS front passenger airbag can cause death
or serious injury.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat even if the
●
"AIR BAG OFF" indicator light is illuminated. 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 rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.
●
A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that requires a top tether strap
should not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top tether strap anchor
for the front passenger seat.
A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passenger seat
