1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
n Child restraint precautions
Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body
l
against the door or the area of the seat, front pillar or roof side rail from
which the side airbags or curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is
seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbags and
curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious
injury to the child.
Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by
l
the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If
it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child
in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
Child restraint lock function belt precaution
n
Do not allow children to play with the child restraint lock function belt. If the
belt becomes twisted around a child's neck, it will not be possible to pull the
belt out leading to choking or other serious injuries that result in death. If this
occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut
the belt.
When the child restraint system is not in use
n
Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is
l
not in use. Do not store the restraint unsecured in the passenger compart-
ment.
If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the
l
vehicle or store it securely in the trunk. This will prevent it from injuring
passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
