■Child restraint system com-
patibility for each seating
position
Compatibility of each seating
position with child restraint sys-
tems ( P.49) 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.51)
WARNING
●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.

■Recommended child restraint systems and Compatibility
table
When securing some types of
child restraint systems in rear
seat, 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 different
position. Failure to do so may
result in death or serious injury.

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.

the belt cannot be extended.
4 While pushing the child
restraint system down into
the rear seat, allow the shoul-
der belt to retract until the
child restraint system is
securely in place.
After the shoulder belt has
retracted to a point where there is
no slack in the belt, pull the belt to check that it cannot be extended.

with your child restraint sys-
tem, and the head restraint
can be removed, remove the
head restraint.
Otherwise, put the head

tether strap, follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s
operation manual regarding
the installation, using the top
tether strap to latch onto the
top tether strap anchor.

restraint system. Fit the seat
belt to the child restraint sys-
tem according to the manu-
facturer’s instructions and
insert the plate into the
buckle. Make sure that the
belt is not twisted.
Check that the shoulder belt is cor-
rectly positioned over the child’s
shoulder and that the lap belt is as low as possible. (
P. 2 5 )
■Removing a child restraint
system installed with a seat
belt
Press the buckle release button
and fully retract the seat belt.
When releasing the buckle, the
child restraint system may spring
up due to the rebound of the seat
cushion. Release the buckle while
holding down the child restraint
system.
Since the seat belt automatically
reels itself, slowly return it to the
stowing position.
WARNING
■When installing a child
restraint system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.

561-2. Child safety
■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.)
WARNING
●Do not allow children to play
with the seat belt. If the seat belt
becomes twisted around a
child’s neck, it may lead to
choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle
cannot be unfastened, scissors
should be used to cut the belt.
●Ensure that the belt and plate
are securely locked and the
seat belt is not twisted.
●Shake the child restraint system
left and right, and forward and
backward to ensure that it has
been securely installed.
●After securing a child restraint
system, never adjust the seat.
●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.
●Follow all installation instruc-
tions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
●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.
■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. 2 7 )
■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.

4 After installing the child
restraint system, rock it back
and forth to ensure that it is
installed securely. ( P.56)
■When installing in the rear
center seat
There are no LATCH anchors
behind the rear center seat.

581-2. Child safety
However, the inboard LATCH
anchors of the outboard seats,
which are 16.1 in. (410 mm)
apart, can be used if the child
restraint system manufacturer’s
instructions permit use of those
anchors with the anchor spacing
stated.
Child restraint systems with rigid
lower attachments cannot be
installed in the center seat. This
type of child restraint system
can only be installed in the out-
board seat.
■Laws and regulations pertain-
ing to anchors
The LATCH system conforms to
FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child restraint systems conforming
to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 speci-
fications can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform
to SAE J1819.
■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.)
WARNING
■When installing a child
restraint system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or serious injury.
●When using the LATCH
anchors, be sure that there are
no foreign objects around the
anchors and that the seat belt is
not caught behind the child
restraint system.
●Follow all installation instruc-
tions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
●Never attach two c hild restraint
system attachments 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 systems 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. Fa ilure to do so
may result in death or serious
injury.
●If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm
the security of the child restraint
system.
