1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
 Child restraint precautions
 Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat
when the airbag manual on-off switch is ON. (P. 159)
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front pas-
senger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-fac-
ing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat when the
airbag manual on-off switch is ON.
 A forward-facing child restraint system should be allowed to be installed
on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the
seat as far back as possible, because the front passenger airbag could
inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be
killed or seriously injured.
 Vehicles without curtain shield airbags: 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 from which the side airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the
child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbags inflate, and the
impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
 Vehicles with curtain shield airbags: Do not allow the child to lean his/her
head or any part of his/her body against the door, the area of the seat,
front and rear pillars, rear roof headlining, or roof side rail from which the
side airbags, curtain shield airbags or rear window curtain shield airbag
deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is danger-
ous if the side airbags, curtain shield airbags and rear window curtain
shield airbag inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to
the child.
Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by

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, sudden swerve or an accident.
 When children are in the vehicle
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 injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
