CAUTION
■When installing a child restraint system
Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual and fix
the child restraint system securely in place.
If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other passen-
gers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking or an
accident.
●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 second seat.
●Adjust the front passenger seat so that it
does not interfere with the child restraint
system.
●Child restraint system installed on the third
seat should not contact the second seat-
backs.
●Only put a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front seat when unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as possible
even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is
illuminated. Failing to do so may result in
death or serious injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).

CAUTION
■When installing a child restraint system
●When installing a child restraint system in the second center seat, adjust both
seatbacks at the same angle.
●When using the LATCH anchors for a child restraint system, move the seat as far
back as possible, with the seatback close to the child restraint system.
●When a booster 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. Failing to do so
may result in death or serious injury in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
●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 manufac-
turer.
■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 an accident.

CAUTION
■To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors
●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.
Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may cause death or
serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sudden stop or
accident.
●When using the left side LATCH anchors
for the child restraint system, do not sit in
the center seat.
Seat belt function may be impaired, such as
being positioned overly high or loose-fit-
ting, which may result in death or serious
injury in the event of sudden braking, sud-
den swerving or an accident.

CAUTION
■Burns
●Use caution when seating the following persons in a seat with the seat heater on
to avoid the possibility of burns:
• Babies, small children, the elderly, the sick and the physically challenged
• Persons with sensitive skin
• Persons who are fatigued
• Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs that induce sleep (sleeping drugs,cold remedies, etc.)
●Do not cover the seat with anything when using the seat heater.
Using the seat heater with a blanket or cushion increases the temperature of the
seat and may lead to overheating.
●Do not use the seat heater more than necessary. Doing so may cause minor
burns or overheating.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the seat heaters and ventilators
Do not put heavy objects that have an uneven surface on the seat and do not stick
sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.) into the seat.
■To prevent battery discharge
Turn the seat heaters and ventilators off when the engine is not running.

CAUTION
■When the cargo hooks are not in use
To avoid injury, always return the cargo hooks to their stowed positions.
■Caution while driving
●Keep the auxiliary box closed. In the event of sudden braking or sudden swerv-
ing, an accident may occur due to an occupant being struck by an open auxiliary
box or the items stored inside.
●Keep the both sides of the luggage cover case locked. Otherwise, the luggage
cover may fly out in case of the sudden braking, sudden serving or an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury. (vehicles without third seats)
●When stowing the luggage cover in the luggage compartment, use the luggage
cover restraining bands to secure the left and right sides of the luggage cover.
Otherwise, the luggage cover may fly out in case of the sudden braking, sudden
serving or an accident, resulting in death or serious injury. (vehicles without third
seats)
■Caution for the luggage cover
Do not allow children to climb on the luggage cover. Climbing on the luggage
cover could result in damage to the luggage cover, possibly causing death or seri-
ous injury to the child.
