If your child restraint system has a top strap, it should be
anchored. (For the installation of the top strap, see Using a top
strapº on page 202.)
For the installation details, refer to the instruction manual
equipped with each product.
CAUTION
When using the lower anchorages for the child
restraint system, be sure that there are no irregular
objects around the anchorages or that the seat belt is
not caught.
Push and pull the child restraint system in different
directions to be sure it is secure. Follow all the
installation instructions provided by its
manufacturer.
Do not install a child restraint system on the second
seat if it interferes with the lock mechanism of the
front seats. This can cause death or serious injury to
the child and front passenger in case of sudden
braking or a collision.
When using the left side lower anchorages for the
child restraint system, do not sit in the center seat.
The performance of the center seat belt cannot be
brought out sufficiently because the belt may be
high-positioned or the seat belt may be loose-fitting,
posing the risk of serious injury in the case of
collision.
