1-2. Child safety
 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.
WARNING
When using a child restraint system
■
Observe the following precautions. Fail-
ure to do so may result in death or seri-
ous injury.
Never install a rear-facing child
●
restraint system on the front passenger
seat even if the "AIR BAG OFF" indi-
cator light is illuminated. In the event of
an accident, the force of the rapid infla-
tion 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 passen-
ger seat.
A forward-facing child restraint system
●
may be installed on the front passen-
ger 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 passen-
ger seat only when it is unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as pos-
sible, and raise the seat to the upper
most position, even if the "AIR BAG
OFF" indicator light is illuminated. If
the head restraint interferes with the
child restraint system installation and
the head restraint can be removed,
remove the head restraint.
● Do not allow the child to lean his/her
head or any part of his/her body
against the door or the area of the seat,
front or rear pillars or roof side rails
from which the SRS side airbags or
SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even
if the child is seated in the child
restraint system. It is dangerous if the
SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags inflate, and the impact could
cause death or serious injury to the
child.
● When a booster seat is installed,
always ensure that the shoulder 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.
