1-2. Child safety
install the child restraint system:
Move the front seat fully rear-
ward.
If the passenger seat height
can be adjusted, Adjust the
seat height to the upper most
position.
Adjust the seatback angle to
the most upright position.
If there is a gap between the child
seat and the seatback, adjust the
seatback angle until good contact is
achieved.
If the head restraint interferes
with your child restraint sys-
tem, 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
system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
● Never use a rear-facing 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 chil-
dren in the event of an accident.
● A forward-facing child restraint
system may be installed on the
front passenger seat only when
it is unavoidable. A child
restraint system that requires a
top tether strap or top 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 passenger seat only when
it is unavoidable. When install-
ing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front
passenger seat, adjust the seat-
back angle to the most upright
position, move the seat to the
rearmost position, and raise the
seat to the upper most position,
even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-
cator light is illuminated. If the
head restraint interferes with
your child restraint system, and
the head restraint can be
removed, remove the head
restraint.
