forward or to either side easily on the seat
cushion after the seat belt has been tight-
ened, choose another manufacturer’s
child restraint system.

Children who have outgrown the child
restraint system should be seated in the rear
seat and wear combination lap shoulder belt.
The lap portion of the belt should be snug and
positioned low on the abdomen so that it is
below the top of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the
belt could intrude into the child’s abdomen
during an accident and cause injury.
When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the restraint system.
Failure to do so can result in severe or
fatal injury to your child.
After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is positively secured.
If the child restraint system is not installed
securely, it may cause injury to the child
or other occupants in the case of accident
or sudden stops.
When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system
secured with the seat belt or remove it
from the vehicle in order to prevent it
from being thrown around inside the vehi-
cle during an accident.
Depending on the seating position in the
vehicle and the child restraint system that
you have, the child restraint can be attached
using one of the following two ways:
• Using the lower anchorage in the second
seat ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX
mountings.
Refer to “Installing a child restraint system
to the lower anchorage (ISOFIX child
restraint mountings) and tether anchorage”
on page 4-20.
• Using the seat belt.
Refer to “Installing a child restraint system
to a 3-point type seat belt (with emergency
locking mechanism)” on page 4-22.
