Essential Safety Equipment
Child Restraint
The child-restraint system can be hit by the
deploying air bag and knocked out of
position. A child in the child-restraint
system could be seriously injured or killed.
Front-facing type
WARNING
Never install a front-facing child seat in the
wrong seat position:
Installing a front-facing child seat without
first consulting the table "Child-Restraint
System Suitability for Various Seat
Positions" is dangerous. A front-facing
child seat installed in the wrong seat
position cannot be properly secured. In a
collision, the child could hit something or
someone in the vehicle and be seriously
injured or even killed.
Do not install a front-facing child-restraint
system on the front passenger seat unless it
is unavoidable:
2-44
In a collision, the force of a deploying air
bag could cause serious injury or death to
the child. If installing a front-facing
child-restraint system on the front
passenger seat is unavoidable, move the
front passenger seat as far back as possible
and adjust the seat bottom (height
adjustable seat bottom) to the highest
position at which the seat belt fastening
the child-restraint system is securely
tightened.
▼ Junior Seat Installation Position
A junior seat is used in the front-facing
position only.
We recommend the use of the junior seat
with backrest to allow simple adjustment
of the shoulder belt position and to give
your child the best protection.
Refer to the table, "Child-Restraint System
Suitability for Various Seat Positions" for
junior seat installation position (page
2-46).
