■When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following when installing child restraint system to the front passenger seat
if it is unavoidable. The front passenger SR S airbag inflates with considerable speed
and force that if not observed may lead to death or serious injury to the child.
●Never install a rear-facing ch ild restraint system on the front passenger seat even if
the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator lig ht is illuminated. In the event of an accident, the force
of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to
the child if the rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger
seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint system ma y be installed on the front passenger seat
only when it is unavoidable. A child restra int 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 front passenger seat.
●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 pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS side air-
bags or SRS curtain shield ai rbags 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 booster seat is installed, always en sure 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.
●A forward-facing child restraint system may
be installed on the front passenger seat only
when it is unavoidable. When installing a for-
ward-facing child restraint system on the front
passenger seat, adjust the seatback to the
most upright position, move the seat to the
rearmost position, and raise the seat to the
highest position, even if the “AIR BAG OFF”
indicator light is illuminated.
If the head restraint interferes with the instal-
lation of the child restraint system, and the
head restraint can be removed, remove the
head restraint.

■When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Use child restraint system suitable to the age and size of the child and install it to the
rear seat.
●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, rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS curtain
shield airbag deploys even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dan-
gerous if the SRS curtain shield airbag in flates, and the impact could cause death or
serious injury to the child.
●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
not interfere with the child restraint system.
