1-2. Child safety
■ When installing a child restraint
system to a front passenger seat
(except for Taiwan)
For the safety of a child, install child
restraint system to the rear seats.
When installing child restraint system
to a front passenger seat is unavoid-
able, adjust the seat as follows and
install the child restraint system.
Raise the seatback as much as pos-
sible
Move the seat to the rearmost posi-
tion
Raise the seat to the highest position
If the head restraint interferes with
the child restraint system installa-
tion and the head restraint can be
removed, remove the head restraint.
Otherwise, put the head restraint in
the upper most position.
● Holding a child in your or someone
else’s arms is not a substitute for a child
restraint system. In an accident, the
child can be crushed against the wind-
shield or between the holder and the
interior of the vehicle.
■ Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not prop-
erly fixed in place, the child or other pas-
sengers may be seriously injured or even
killed in the event of sudden braking, sud-
den swerving, or an accident.
● If the vehicle were to receive a strong
impact from an accident, etc., it is pos-
sible that the child restraint system has
damage that is not readily visible. In
such cases, do not reuse the restraint
system.
● Depending on the child restraint sys-
tem, installation may be difficult or
impossible. In those cases, check
whether the child restraint system is
suitable for installment in the vehicle.
(P.57, 61, 64) Be sure to install and
observe the usage rules after carefully
reading the child restraint system fixing
method in this manual, as well as the
operation manual enclosed with the
child restraint system.
● Keep the child restraint system prop-
erly secured on the seat even if it is not
in use. Do not store the child restraint
system unsecured in the passenger
compartment.
● If it is necessary to detach the child
restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the trunk.
