When installing a child restraint system

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child's neck, it may lead to choking or other serious inju-
ries that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be
used to cut the belt.
●
Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
●
Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward
to ensure that it has been securely installed.
●
After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
●
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.
●
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
●
When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seats, it may
not be possible to properly use the seat belts in positions next to the child
restraint without interfering with it or affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be
sure your seat belt fits snugly across your shoulder and low on your hips. If
it does not, or if it interferes with the child restraint, move to a different
position. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■

When installing a booster seat

To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the
shoulder belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause
injury or discomfort to the child. (P. 28)
■

Do not use a seat belt extender

If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the
seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause
death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
