When installing a child restraint sys-
tem
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 strap should not be used in the
front passenger seat since there is no
top strap anchor for 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.
When installing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, move the front seat fully rear-
ward, adjust the seat height to the
upper most position, and adjust the
seatback angle to the most upright
position, even if the “AIR BAG OFF”
indicator light is illuminated.
●
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 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 seri-
ous injury to the child.
●
When a junior seat (booster seat) is
installed, always ensure that the shoul-
der 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.
