remove the head restraint. Other-
wise, put the head restraint in the
upper most position.
■ When using a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
● Never install a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated. In the event of
an accident, the force of the rapid infla-
tion of the front passenger airbag can
cause death or serious injury to the
child if the rear-facing child restraint
system is installed on the front passen-
ger seat.
● A forward-facing child restraint system
may be installed on the front passen-
ger seat only when it is unavoidable. A
child restraint system that requires a
top tether strap should not be used in
the front passenger seat since there is
no top tether strap anchor for the front
passenger seat.
● A forward-facing child restraint system
may be installed on the front passen-
ger seat only when it is unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, adjust the seatback angle to the
most upright position, move the seat
fully rearward, and move the seat
height to the upper most position, even
if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is
illuminated.
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.
● 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 system. It is dangerous if the
SRS side and curtain shield airbags
inflate, and the impact could cause
death or serious injury to the child.
