CAUTION
■
When installing a child restraint system
●
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. The seatbacks must be adjusted to 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.
●
When using the LATCH system, move the seat as far back as possible
and adjust the seatback as upright as possible.
●
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. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event
of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
●
Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
●
Push and pull the child restraint system from side to side and forward to be
sure it is secure.
●
After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
●
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
