Before driving
■When installing a child restraint system with LATCH anchors and a top
tether strap
Depending on the child restraint system's size and shape, if the child
restraint system is installed to the LATCH anchors first, it may not be possi-
ble to attach the top tether strap to the anchor bracket.
In that case, first temporarily attach the top tether strap to the anchor
bracket, install the child restraint system using the lower anchors and then
tighten the top tether strap.
■Laws and regulations pertaining to anchorages
The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifica-
tions can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to the SAE J1819.
WARNING
■When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the
shoulder belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause
injury or discomfort to the child. ( →P. 60)
■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
passengers may be injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking,
sudden swerving 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 rear seat.
●Adjust the front passenger seat so that
it does not interfere with the child
restraint system.

1-7. Safety information
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
●Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seatbelt is not
twisted.
●Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward
to ensure that it has been securely installed.
●When adjusting the front passenger seat position after installing a child
restraint system, do so slowly.
●Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
■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 seatbelt 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
sudden braking, sudden swerve or an accident.
