WARNING
When installing a child restraint sys-
■
tem
Observe the following when installing
child restraint system to the front passen-
ger seat if it is unavoidable. The front pas-
senger SRS airbag inflates with
considerable speed and force that if not
observed may lead to death or serious
injury to the child.
● 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.

1-1. For safe use
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, adjust the seatback to the most
upright position, move the seat to the
rearmost position, and raise the seat to
the highest position, even if the "AIR
BAG OFF" indicator light is illumi-
nated.
If the head restraint interferes with the
installation of the child restraint system,
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 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
and curtain shield airbags inflate, and
the impact could cause death or seri-
ous 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.
