WARNING
■ 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, raise the seatback as much as
possible, move the seat to the rear-
most position, and raise the seat to the
highest position, even if the “AIR BAG
OFF” indicator light is illuminated.
If the head restraint interferes with the
installation of the child restraint system,
and the head restraint can be removed,
remove the head restraint.
If the head restraint cannot be removed,
raise it to the uppermost position.
