Run the seat belt through the
child  restraint  system  and
insert  the  plate  into  the
buckle.  Make  sure  that  the
belt is not twisted.
Fully extend the shoulder belt
and allow it to retract to put it
in  lock  mode.  In  lock  mode,
the belt cannot be extended.
While  pushing  the  child
restraint  system  into  the  rear
seat,  allow  the  shoulder  belt
to  retract  until  the  child
restraint  system  is  securely
in place.
After  the  shoulder  belt  has
retracted  to  a  point  where  there
is  no  slack  in  the  belt,  pull  the
belt  to  check  that  it  cannot  be
extended.
If  the  child  restraint  has  a  top  tether  strap,  follow  the  child
restraint manufacturer’s operation manual regarding the installa-
tion,  using  the  top  tether  strap  to  latch  onto  the  top  tether  s trap
anchor. ( P.   7 0 )
After installing the child restrai nt system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is in stalled securely. ( P. 66)

◆Removing a child restraint system installed with a seat belt
Press the buckle release button
and fully retract the seat belt.
When  releasing  the  buckle,  the
child  restraint  system  may
spring  up  due  to  the  rebound  of
the  seat  cushion.  Release  the
buckle  while  holding  down  the
child restraint system.
Since the seat belt automatically
reels itself, slowly return it to the
stowing position.

WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
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  b elt  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  sh ould  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.
● After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
● When  a  booster  seat  is  installed,  always  ensure  that  the  should er  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  provided  by  the  child  rest raint  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  ef fectiveness.  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
position. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injur y.
■ When installing a booster seat
To  prevent  the  belt  from  going  into ALR  lock  mode,  do  not  fully   extend  the
shoulder  belt. ALR  mode  causes  the  belt  to  tighten  only.  This  c ould  cause
injury or discomfort to the child. ( P. 30)
■ Do not use a seat belt extender
If  a  seat  belt  extender  is  used  when  installing  a  child  restraint  system,  the
seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause
death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the  event of sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

After installing the child restraint system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is in stalled securely. ( P. 66)
■When installing in the rear center seat
There  are  no  LATCH  anchors  behind  the  rear  center  seat.  How-
ever, the inboard LATCH anchors  of the outboard seats, which are
16.1  in.  (410  mm)  apart,  can  be  used  if  the  child  restraint  sys tem
manufacturer’s  instructions  permit  use  of  those  anchors  with  th e
anchor spacing stated.
Child  restraint  systems  with  rig id  lower  attachments  cannot  be
installed  in  the  center  seat.  This  type  of  child  restraint  syst em  can
only be installed in the outboard seat.
■ Laws and regulations pertaining to anchors
The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child  restraint  systems  conforming  to  FMVSS213  or  CMVSS213  spec ifica-
tions can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to SAE J1819.
WARNING
■ When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign  objects
around  the  anchors  and  that  the  seat  belt  is  not  caught  behind  the  child
restraint system.
● Follow  all  installation  instructions  provided  by  the  child  rest raint  system
manufacturer.
● Never attach two child restraint system attachments to the same anchor. In
a  collision,  one  anchor  may  not  be  strong  enough  to  hold  two  ch ild
restraint system attachments and may break.
If the LATCH anchors are already in use, use the seat belt to i nstall a child
restraint system in the center seat.
● 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  ef fectiveness.  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
position. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injur y.
● If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the security of the child re straint system.
