■When installing a child 
restraint system to a front 
passenger seat
For the safety of a child, install a 
child restraint system to a rear 
seat. When installing a child 
restraint system to a front pas-
senger seat is unavoidable, 
adjust the seat as follows and 
install the child restraint system:
 Move the front seat fully rear-
ward.
 If the passenger seat height  can be adjusted, Adjust the 
seat height to the upper most 
position.
 Adjust the seatback angle to 
the most upright position.
If there is a gap between the child 
seat and the seatb ack, adjust the 
seatback angle until good contact is 
achieved.
 If the head restraint interferes 
with the child restraint system 
installation and the head 
restraint can be removed, 
remove the head restraint.
Otherwise, put the head restraint in 
the upper mo st position.

WARNING
■When using a child restraint 
system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in 
death or serious injury.
●Never install a rear-facing child 
restraint system on the front 
passenger seat even if the “AIR 
BAG OFF” indicator light is illu-
minated. In the event of an acci-
dent, the force of the rapid 
inflation of the front passenger 
airbag can cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child if the 
rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem is installed on the front pas-
senger seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint 
system may be installed on the 
front passenger  seat only when 
it is unavoidable. A child 
restraint system that requires a 
top tether strap should not be 
used in the front passenger seat 
since there is no top tether strap 
anchor for the fr ont passenger 
seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint 
system may be installed on the 
front passenger seat only when 
it is unavoidable. When install-
ing a forward-facing child 
restraint system on the front 
passenger seat, adjust the seat-
back angle to the  most upright 
position, move the seat to the 
rearmost position, and raise the 
seat to the upper most position, 
even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated. If the 
head restraint interferes with the 
child restraint system installa-
tion and the head  restraint can 
be removed, remove the head 
restraint.
●Do not allow th e 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 sys-
tem. It is dangerous if the SRS 
side and curtain shield airbags 
inflate, and the impact could 
cause death or serious injury to 
the child.

■Child restraint system com-
patibility for each seating 
position
Compatibility of each seating 
position with child restraint sys-
tems ( P.56) displays the type 
of child restraint systems that 
can be used and possible seat- ing positions for installation 
using symbols.
Also, the recommended child 
restraint system that is suitable 
for your child can be selected. 
Otherwise, check [Recom-
mended child restraint systems 
and Compatibility table] for rec-
ommended child restraint sys-
tems. (
P.59)
Check the selected child 
restraint system together with 
the following [Before confirming 
the compatibility of each seating 
position with child restraint sys-
tems].
■Before confirming the com-
patibility of each seating 
position with child restraint 
systems
1 Checking the child restraint 
system standards.
Use a child restraint system 
that conforms to UN(ECE) 
R44
*1 or UN(ECE) R129*1, 2.
The following approval mark 
is displayed on child restraint 
systems which are con-
formed.
Check for an approval mark 
WARNING
●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.
●Use child restraint system suit-
able to the age and size of the 
child and install  it to the rear 
seat.
●If the driver’s seat interferes 
with the child restraint system 
and prevents it from being 
attached correctly, attach the 
child restraint system to the 
right-hand rear seat.
●Adjust the front passenger seat 
so that it does no t interfere with 
the child restraint system.

Check the approval mark of 
the child restraint system for 
which of the following catego-
ries the child restraint system 
is suitable.
Also, if there are any uncer-
tainties, check the user’s  guide included with the child 
restraint system or contact 
the retailer of the child 
restraint system.

• “semi-universal”
• “restricted”
• “vehicle specific”

When securing some types of 
child restraint systems in rear 
seat, 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 effective-
ness. 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 injury.
When installing a child 
restraint in the rear seats, 
adjust the front seat so that it 
does not interfere with the 
child or child restraint system.
 When installing a child seat 
with support base, if the child 
seat interferes with the seat-
back when latching it into the 
support base, adjust the seat-
back rearward until there is no 
interference.
 If the seat belt shoulder 
anchor is ahead of the child 
seat belt guide, move the seat 
cushion forward. 
When installing a junior seat, 
if the child in your child 
restraint system is in a very 
upright position, adjust the 
seatback angle to the most 
comfortable position. And if 
the seat belt shoulder anchor 
is ahead of the child seat belt 
guide, move the seat cushion 
forward.
A child restraint system for a 
small child or baby must itself be 
properly restrained on the seat 
with the lap portion of the 
lap/shoulder belt.
■Installing child restraint 
system using a seat belt 
(child restraint lock func-
tion belt)
Install the child restraint system 
in accordance to the operation 
manual enclosed with the child 
restraint system.
For Puerto Rico: If the child 
restraint system on hand is not 
within the “universal” category
