■Child restraint system com-
patibility for each seating 
position
Compatibility of each seating 
position with child restraint sys-
tems ( P.56) displays the type 
of child restraint systems that 
can be used and possible seat-
ing positions for installation 
using symbols.
Also, the recommended child 
restraint system that is suitable 
for your child can be selected. 
Otherwise, check [Recom-
mended child restraint systems 
and Compatibility table] for rec-
ommended child restraint sys-
tems. ( P. 5 8 )
Check the selected child 
WA R N I N G
●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 or rear 
pillars, or roof  side rails from 
which the SRS side airbags or 
SRS curtain shield airbags 
deploy even if the child is 
seated in the child restraint sys-
tem. 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 ensure 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.
●Use child restraint system suit-
able to the age and size of the 
child and install  it to the rear 
seat.
●If the driver’s seat interferes 
with the child restraint system 
and prevents it from being 
attached correct ly, 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.

■Before confirming the com-
patibility of each seating 
position with child restraint 
systems
1 Checking the child restraint 
system standards.
Use a child restraint system 
that conforms to UN(ECE) 
R44
*1 or UN(ECE) R129*1, 2.
The following approval mark 
is displayed on child restraint 
systems which are con-
formed.
Check for an approval mark 
attached to the child restraint 
system.
Example of the displayed regulation 
number
UN(ECE) R44 approval 
mark
*3
The weight range of the child  who is applicable for an 
UN(ECE) R44 approval mark 
is indicated.
UN(ECE) R129 approval 
mark
*3
The height range of the child 
who is applicabl
e as well as 
available weights for an 
UN(ECE) R129 approval 
mark is indicated.
2 Checking the category of the 
child restraint system.
Check the approval mark of 
the child restraint system for 
which of the following catego-
ries the child restraint system 
is suitable.
Also, if there are any uncer-
tainties, check the user’s 
guide included with the child 
restraint system or contact 
the retailer of the child 
restraint system.
• “universal”
• “semi-universal”
• “restricted”
• “vehicle specific”

available outside of the EU area.
*3: The displayed mark may differ 
depending on the product.
■Compatibility of each seat-
ing position with child 
restraint systems
*1: Move the front seat fully rear-ward. If the passenger seat 
height can be adjusted, move it 
to the upper most position.
*2: Adjust the seatback angle to the most upright position. When 
installing a forw ard-facing child 
seat, if there is a gap between 
the child seat and the seatback, 
adjust the seatback angle until 
good contact is achieved.
*3: 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.

■Child restraint LATCH 
anchors
LATCH anchors are provided for 
the outboard rear seat. (Marks 
displaying the location of the 
anchors are attached to the 
seats.)
■When installing in the rear 
outboard seats
Install the child restraint system 
in accordance to the operation 
manual enclosed with the child 
restraint system.
1 If the head restraint interferes 
with your child restraint sys-
tem, and the head restraint 
can be removed, remove the 
head restraint.
Otherwise, put the head 
restraint in the upper most 
position. ( P.136)
With flexible lower attach-
ments
2 Remove the anchor covers, 
and install the child restraint 
system to the seat.
The bars are installed behind the 
anchor covers.
For owners in Canada:
The symbol on a child restraint sys-
tem indicates   the presence of a 
lower connector system.

■When installing a booster 
seat
To  pr ev en t t he  b elt  fr om  g oin g  int o 
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.29)
■Do not use a seat belt 
extender
If a seat belt extender is used 
when installing a child restraint 
system, the seat  belt will not 
securely hold the child restraint 
system, which could cause death 
or serious injury to the child or 
other passengers in the event of 
sudden braking, sudden swerv-
ing or an accident.

■ISOFIX lower anchorages 
(ISOFIX child restraint sys-
tem)
Lower anchorages are provided 
for the outboard rear seats. 
(Marks displaying the location of 
the anchorages are attached to 
the seats.)
■When installing in the rear 
outboard seats
Install the child restraint system 
in accordance to the operation 
manual enclosed with the child 
restraint system.
If the child restraint system on 
hand is not within the “universal” 
category (or the necessary infor-
mation is not in the table), refer 
to the “Vehicle List” provided by 
the child restraint system maker 
for various possible installation 
positions, or check the compati-
bility after asking the retailer of 
the child seat. ( P.55, 56)
1 If the head restraint interferes 
with your child restraint sys-
tem, and the head restraint 
can be removed, remove the 
head restraint.
Otherwise, put the head 
restraint in the upper most 
position. ( P.136)
With flexible lower attach-
ments
2 Remove the anchorage cov-
ers, and install the child 
restraint system to the seat.
The bars are installed behind the 
WA R N I N G
●Never attach two child restraint 
system attachm ents to the 
same anchor. In a collision, one 
anchor may not be strong 
enough to hold two child 
restraint system attachments 
and may break. If the LATCH 
anchors are already in use, use 
the seat belt to  install a child 
restraint system in the center 
seat.
●When securing some types of 
child restraint s ystems in rear 
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 effective-
ness. 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 differ-
ent position. Failure to do so 
may result in death or serious 
injury.
●If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm 
the security of the child restraint 
system.
