WARNING
■When using a child restraint system
●When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. Th e 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 suitable to the age and size of the child and install it to the rear seat.
●Only put a forward-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front seat when unavoidable. When installing a forward-facing childrestraint on the front passenger seat, move
the seat as far back as possible. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury if theairbags deploy (inflate).
●Do not allow the child to lean his/her head orany part of his/her body against the door orthe area of the seat, front or rear pillars, or
roof side rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deployeven if the child is seat ed in the child restraint
system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags inflate, and theimpact could cause death or serious injury to
the child.
●If the driver’s seat interferes with the childrestraint system and prevents it from being
attached correctly, attach the child restraint system to the right-hand rear seat (left-handdrive vehicles) or the left-hand rear seat
(right-hand drive vehicles). ( P. 65, 72)

X: Not suitable seat position for children in this mass group.
U: Suitable for “universal” category child restraint systems approved for use in
this mass group.
UF: Suitable for forward-facing “universal” category child restraint systems
approved for use in this mass group.

*1: Adjust the seatback angle to the most upright position. Move the front seat fully rear-
ward. If the passenger seat height can be adjusted, move it to the upper most position.
*2: If the head restraint interferes with your child restraint system, and the head restraint
can be removed, remove the head restraint. Otherwise, put the head restraint in the
upper most position.
When securing some types of child restrain t systems in second row 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 effectiveness. 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.
The child restraint systems mentioned in the table may not be available outside
the EU area.
●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 seatback when latching it into the support base, adjust the seatback rear-
ward until there is no interference.
●When installing a forward-facing
child seat, if there is a gap between
the child seat and the seatback,
adjust the seatback angle until good
contact is achieved.

ion forward.

If your child restraint system is not
equipped with a lock-off (a seat
belt locking feature), secure the
child restraint system using a
locking clip.
After installing the child restraint system, rock it back and forth to ensure
that it is installed securely. ( P. 68)
