1-2. Child safety
For safety and security
●
Only put a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front seat when
unavoidable. When installing a for-
ward-facing child restraint on the front
passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible. Failing to do so may
result in death or serious injury if the
airbags deploy (inflate).
●
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.
●
Use child restraint system suitable to
the age and size of the child and install
it to the rear seat.
●
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 (left-hand drive
vehicles) or the left-hand rear seat
(right-hand drive vehicles).
●
Adjust the front passenger seat so that
it does not interfere with the child
restraint system.
■
When installing a child restraint sys-
tem (for Taiwan)
Observe the following precautions. Fail-
ure to do so may result in death or seri-
ous injury.
●
Never use a child restraint system on
the front passenger seat.
The force of the rapid inflation of the
front passenger airbag can cause
death or serious injury to children in
the event of an accident.
