WARNING
When installing a child restraint sys-
■
tem
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.
When a junior seat (booster seat) is
●
installed, always ensure that the shoul-
der 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 pro-
●
vided 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 posi-
tion. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.

1-2. Child safety
When installing a child restraint system
●
in the rear center seat, adjust both seat
cushions to the same position and
align both seatbacks at the same
angle. Otherwise, the child restraint
system cannot be securely restrained
and this may cause death or serious
injuries in the event of sudden braking,
sudden swerving or an accident.
If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the
●
security of the child restraint system.
