WARNING
■When installing a child restraint sys-
tem
●Only put a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front seat when unavoidable. When installing a for-
ward-facing child rest raint on the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible. Failing to do so may
result in death or serious injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).
●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 or rear 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 serious injury to the child.
●When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned 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.
●Use child restraint system suitable to the age and size of the child and install it to the rear seat.
