Laws and regulations pertaining to anchorages
The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225.
Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 specifications can be
used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to the SAE J1819.
CAUTION
■When installing a booster seat
Do not fully extend the shoulder belt to prevent the belt from going to ALR
lock mode: ( P. 81)
ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only which could cause injury or dis-
comfort to the child.

LC200_OM_OM60L83U_(U)
CAUTION
■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 seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
●When using the LATCH anchors for a child restraint system, move the seat
as far as possible and adjust the seatback as upright as possible, with \
the
seatback close to the child restraint system.
● 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. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury 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.
● Child restraint system installed on the
third seat should not contact the second
seatbacks.
● Only put a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front seat when unavoid-
able. When installing a forward-facing
child restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat, move the seat as far back
as possible even if the AIR BAG OFF
indicator light illuminates. Failing to do
so may result in death or serious injury
if the airbags deploy (inflate).

CAUTION
■
When installing a child restraint system
●Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
● Shake the child restraint left and right, and forward and back to ensure that
it has been securely installed.
● After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
● Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
■ 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 sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
■ To correctly attach a child r estraint system to the anchors
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. 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 a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
