WARNING
• When using the vehicle's
"ISOFIX" system to install a
child restraint system in the
rear seat, all unused vehicle
rear seat belt metal latch plates
or tabs must be latched
securely in their seat belt buck-
les and the seat belt webbing
must be retracted behind the
child restraint system to pre-
vent the child from reaching
and taking hold of unretracted
seat belts. Unlatched metal
latch plates or tabs may allow
the child to reach the unretract-
ed seat belts which may result
in strangulation and a serious
injury or death to the child in
the child restraint system.
• Do not place anything around
the lower anchors. Also make
sure that the seat belt is not
caught in the lower anchors.
