WARNING
● Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or
use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
● Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Children may accidentally cause the vehicle to move, leading to an accident, or start a
fire.
● Do not leave people or animals in the vehicle.
The temperature inside the vehicle can become extremely high during the daytime,
possibly leading to heat stroke or death.
● Do not allow children to ride on the lap of a passenger.
If a child is riding on the lap of another passenger, in a collision, they may collide with a
window, another passenger, or the interior of the vehicle. Make sure that children wear
a seat belt or use a child restraint system.
● Use a child restraint system for small children.
If a child which is not large enough to correctly wear a seat belt is to ride in the vehicle,
use a child restraint system.
● Use child restraint systems correctly.
Child restraint systems are designed to protect children in a collision or sudden stop.
Make sure to securely install child restraint systems and use them correctly.
● Replace child restraint systems which have been involved in a collision.
If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, it is possible that an installed child
restraint system has been damaged and will not be able to deliver the same level of
impact absorption performance, even if the outside of it looks normal.
● When a child restraint system is not in use, secure it so that it does not interfere with
driving.
When removing a child restraint system, store it outside of the vehicle or securely in
the luggage compartment.
Seating positions for children
It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental contact
with the driver’s controls. In the event of an accident, the force of deployment of the
SRS front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to a child seated on
the front passenger’s seat. Do not allow a child to ride on the front passenger’s seat
unless it is unavoidable.
