For safety and security
■ When installing a child restraint
system to the front passenger seat
For the safety of a child, install child
restraint systems to a rear seats. When
installing child restraint system to the
front passenger seat is unavoidable,
adjust the passenger 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 upper most
position.
Adjust the front of the seat cushion
to the lowest position.
If the head restraint interferes with
the child restraint system installation
and the head restraint can be
removed, remove the head
restraint. Otherwise, put the head
restraint in the upper most position.
When using a child restraint sys-
tem
■ When installing a child restraint sys-
tem
Observe the following when installing
child restraint system to the front passen-
ger seat if it is unavoidable. The front pas-
senger SRS air bag inflates with
considerable speed and force that if not
observed may lead to death or serious
injury to the child.
● Never install a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front passen-
ger seat even if the “AIR BAG OFF”
indicator light is illuminated. In the
event of an accident, the force of the
rapid inflation 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 passenger seat.
● A forward-facing child restraint sys-
tem may be installed on the front pas-
senger 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.
