Securing child restraint system by
seat belt
Choose the appropriate seat for the child’s
age and physical size.
NOTE:
Stow the removed head restraint in the lug-
gage compartment so it will not cause
inconvenience to the occupants.
WARNING
59RN02250
• (Vehicle without the front passen-
ger airbag deactivation system)
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s front airbag
inflates, a child in a rear-facing
child restraint could be killed or
severely injured. The back of a
rear-facing child restraint would be
too close to the inflating airbag.

• (Vehicle with the front passenger
air-bag deactivation system)
When using a child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger’s seat,
the front passenger’s airbag sys-
tem must be deactivated; otherwise
deployment of the front passen-
ger’s airbag could result in the
death or serious injury of the child.
• If you install a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat, slide the front
seat far enough forward so that the
child’s feet do not contact the front
seatback. This will help avoid
injury to the child in the event of an
accident.
WARNING
CAUTION
If your vehicle is equipped with the
head restraint, adjust the height of
the head restraint or remove it for fit-
ting the child restraint, as necessary.
However, if a booster cushion not
equipped with the head restraint is
fitted, the head restraint should not
be removed. If the head restraint is
removed for fitting the child restraint,
you need to install it again after
removing the child restraint.
If the child restraint is fitted improp-
erly, a child sitting in it could be
injured in a collision.
