Selecting an appropriate child restraint system (for Puerto Rico)
Precautions for selecting a child restraint system
To ensure safety, observe the following when using a child restraint system.
Make sure to observe the precautions regarding child restraint systems.
●
Choose a child restraint system appropriate to the age and size of the child.
●
Check the compatibility of the child restraint system with each seating position.
●
Depending on the child restraint system, it may not be able to be installed.
For details about use of a child restraint system, check the user' s manual of the
●
child restraint system.
WARNING
Check that the seat belt for the seat next to a child restraint system can be worn
●
properly. Depending on the type of child restraint system, the seat belt may not be able
to be worn properly. In this case, use another seat.
●
When adjusting the driver' s seat, if it contacts a child or child restraint system, install
the child restraint system to the rear seat behind the front passenger' s seat.
●
Adjust the front passenger seat so that it does not interfere with the child or child
restraint system.
●
When installing a child restraint system with support base, if the child restraint system
contacts a seatback when installing it to the support base, adjust the seatback rear-
ward until they do not contact.
If the seat belt shoulder anchor is in front of the
●
seat belt guide of a child restraint system, move
the seat forward.
●
When installing a junior seat, if the child in your child restraint system is in a very
upright position, adjust the seatback angle to the most comfortable position.
Selecting a child restraint system
Use a child restraint system that conforms to UN (ECE) R44 or UN (ECE) R129.
UN (ECE) R44 and UN (ECE) R129 are U.N. regulations for child restraint
systems.
