Child-Restraint System
on the Front Passenger's
Seat
1. Make sure the vehicle power isswitched off.
2. Slide the seat as far back as
possible.
3. Remove the head restraint.However, when installing a backless
booster seat, always install the
vehicle head restraint to the seat
where the backless booster seat is
installed.
4. Place the child-restraint system on the seat without putting your
weight on the seat and fasten the
seat belt. See the manufacturer's
instructions on the child-restraint
system for belt routing instructions.
5. To get the retractor into the automatic locking mode, pull the
shoulder belt portion of the seat
belt until the entire length of the
belt is out of the retractor.
6. Push the child-restraint system firmly into the vehicle seat. Be sure
the belt retracts as snugly as
possible. A clicking noise from the
retractor will be heard during
retraction if the system is in
automatic locking mode. If the belt
does not lock the seat down tight,
repeat the previous step and also
this one.
NOTE
Inspect this function before each
use of the child-restraint system.
You should not be able to pull the
shoulder belt out of the retractor
while the system is in the
automatic locking mode. When
you remove the child-restraint
system, be sure the belt fully
retracts to return the system to
emergency locking mode before
occupants use the seat belts.
Follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions
carefully.
Depending on the type of
child-restraint system, it may not
employ seat belts which are in
automatic locking mode.
7. Seat your child safely in the child-restraint system and secure
the child according to the
instructions from the child-restraint
system manufacturer.
8. Switch the vehicle power ON and make sure the front passenger air

Warnings and Cautions for Using the LATCH Lower
Anchor
WARNING
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the use of the child-restraint system.
An unsecured child-restraint system is dang erous. In a sudden stop or a collision it
could move causing serious injury or deat h to the child or other occupants. Make
sure the child-restraint system is properly secured in place according to the
child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions.
Never attach two child-restraint systems to the same LATCH lower anchor.
Attaching two child-restraint systems to th e same LATCH lower anchor is dangerous.
In a collision, one anchor may not be st rong enough to hold two child-restraint
system attachments, and it may break, causing serious injury or death. If you use the
seat position for another child-restraint sy stem when an outboard LATCH position is
occupied, use the center seat belts instead, and the tether if tether-equipped.
Make sure the child-restraint system is properly secured.
An unsecured child-restraint system is dang erous. In a sudden stop or a collision it
could move causing serious injury or deat h to the child or other occupants. Follow
the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions on belt routing to secure the
seat just as you would with a child in it so that nobody is tempted to put a child in
an improperly secured seat later on. When not in use, remove it from the vehicle or
fasten it with a seat belt, or attach it to BOTH LATCH lower anchors for LATCH
child-restraint systems.
Make sure there are no seat belts or foreign objects near or around the LATCH
child-restraint system.
Not following the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions when installing
the child-restraint system is dangerous. If seat belts or a foreign object prevent the
child-restraint system from being securely attached to the LATCH lower anchors and
the child-restraint system is installed improperly, the child-restraint system could
move in a sudden stop or collision causing serious injury or death to the child or
other occupants. When installing the child-restraint system, make sure there are no
seat belts or foreign objects near or arou nd the LATCH lower anchors. Always follow
the child-restraint system manufacturer's instructions.

8. If your child-restraint system cameequipped with a tether, that means
it is very important to properly
secure the tether for child safety.
Please carefully follow the
child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions when
installing tethers.

Installation on second-row center seat
The LATCH lower anchors at the center
of the second-row seat are much
further apart than the sets of LATCH
lower anchors for child-restraint system
installation at other seating positions.
Child-restraint systems with rigid
LATCH attachments cannot be
installed on the center seating
position. Some LATCH equipped
child-restraint systems can be placed in
the center position and will reach the
nearest LATCH lower anchors which
are 500 mm (19.7 in) apart. LATCH
compatible child-restraint systems
(with attachments on belt webbing)
can be used at this seating position
only if the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions state that
the child-restraint system can be
installed to LATCH lower anchors that
are 500 mm (19.7 in) apart. Do not
attach two child-restraint systems to
the same LATCH lower anchor. If your
child-restraint system has a tether, it
must also be used for your child's
optimum safety.

The procedure for installation on the
rear outboard seats is the same.

Warnings and CautionsWhen Using the Doors
WARNING
Opening/closing of the doors must be
done by an adult.
If a person's hand, foot, or neck is
pinched in a door, it could result in
serious injury.
Do not drive the vehicle with the
door-ajar warning light/indication
turned on/displayed.
Otherwise, the door may open
unexpectedly and result in an accident.
Always take all children and pets with
you or leave a responsible person
with them.
Leaving a child or a pet unattended in
a parked vehicle is dangerous. In hot
weather, temperatures inside a vehicle
can become high enough to cause
brain damage or even death.
Do not leave the key in your vehicle
with children and keep them in a
place where your children will not
find or play with them.
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed.
Keep all doors locked when driving.
Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle
are dangerous. Passengers can fall out
if a door is accidentally opened and
can more easily be thrown out in an
accident.
Always close all the windows and
Panorama sunroof/moonroof, lock
the doors, fuel-filler lid, and liftgate
and take the key with you when
leaving your vehicle unattended.
Leaving your vehicle unlocked is
dangerous as children could lock
themselves in a hot vehicle, which
could result in death. Also, a vehicle
left unlocked becomes an easy target
for thieves and intruders.
After closing the doors and the
liftgate, always verify that they are
securely closed.
Doors and the liftgate not securely
closed are dangerous, if the vehicle is
driven with a door and the liftgate not
securely closed, the door and the
liftgate could open unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before opening a door and the
liftgate.
Suddenly opening a door and the
liftgate is dangerous. A passing vehicle
or a pedestrian could be hit and cause
an accident.
CAUTION
Always confirm the conditions around
the vehicle during strong winds or
when parked on an incline before
opening/closing the doors. Neglecting
to check the conditions around the
vehicle could result in fingers getting
caught in the door or a passing
pedestrian being hi t, resulting in an
unexpected accident or injury.

Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Liftgate
WARNING
Do not allow people to ride in the
luggage compartment.
During sudden braking or a collision,
the person in the luggage
compartment could be seriously
injured or killed.
Always drive the vehicle with the
liftgate closed.
If the liftgate opens while driving the
vehicle, the luggage may fall out and
lead to an accident. In addition, If the
vehicle is driven with the liftgate open,
the exhaust gas may penetrate the
cabin and it could cause carbon
monoxide poisoning.

unsecured in the luggage
compartment.
Otherwise, the luggage may move or
collapse, resulting in injury or an
accident. In addition, do not load
luggage higher than the seatbacks. It
may affect the side or rear
field of view.
If the air bags deploy, the cargo may
scatter which could result in serious
injury or death.
After closing the liftgate, make sure
that it is securely closed.
Driving the vehicle with the liftgate not
fully closed is dangerous as a person or
an object could fall out of the vehicle
resulting in a serious accident, injury,
or death.
Do not drive the vehicle with the
liftgate-ajar warning indication
displayed.
Otherwise, the liftgate may open
unexpectedly and result in an accident.
CAUTION
 Remove snow or ice on the liftgate
before opening the liftgate. When
opening the liftgate, it could slam
shut by the weight of snow or ice,
resulting in injury.
 Be careful when opening/closing the
liftgate during strong winds.
Otherwise, it could close suddenly
resulting in injury.
 When opening the liftgate, fully open
it and make sure that it stays open. If
the liftgate is only opened partially, it
could slam shut by vibration or wind
gusts resulting in injury.
 Stop the hybrid system when loading
or unloading cargo in the luggage
compartment. Otherwise, you could
get burned by the heat of the
exhaust gas.
 Be careful not to apply excessive
force to the damper stay on the
liftgate such as by putting your hand
on the stay. Otherwise, the damper
stay may bend and affect the liftgate
operation.
