■

When installing a child restraint system to a front passenger
seat

For the safety of a child, install a child restraint system to a rear
seat. When installing a child restraint system to a front passenger
seat is unavoidable, adjust the seat as follows and install the child
restraint system.

●

Adjust the seatback angle to
the most upright position.

When installing a forward-facing
child  seat,  if  there  is  a  gap
between  the  child  seat  and  the
seatback,  adjust  the  seatback
angle  until  good  contact  is
achieved.

●

Move the seat fully rearward.

●

If the passenger seat height can be adjusted, move it to the
upper most position.

●

If  the  head  restraint  interferes  with  your  child  restraint  system,
and  the  head  restraint  can  be  removed,  remove  the  head
restraint.  Otherwise,  put  the  head  restraint  in  the  upper  most
position.

WARNING

■

When using a child restraint system

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●

Vehicles  with  an  airbag  manual  on-off
switch:
Never  use  a  rear-facing  child  restraint
system  on  the  front  passenger  seat
when the airbag manual on-off switch is
on. (

P. 55)

The force of the rapid inflation of the
front passenger airbag can cause death
or serious injury to children in the event
of an accident.

●

There is a label(s) on the passenger
side sun visor, indicating it is forbidden
to attach a rear-facing child restraint

WARNING

■

When using a child restraint system

●

Only put a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front seat when unavoid-
able.  When  installing  a  forward-facing
child  restraint  on  the  front  passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as pos-
sible.  Failing  to  do  so  may  result  in
death  or  serious  injury  if  the  airbags
deploy (inflate).

●

Do  not  allow  the  child  to  lean  his/her
head or any part of his/her body against
the door or the area of the seat, front or
rear pillars, or roof side rails from which
the  SRS  side  airbags  or  SRS  curtain
shield airbags deploy even if the child is
seated in the child restraint system. It is
dangerous if the SRS side airbags and
curtain  shield  airbags  inflate,  and  the
impact  could  cause  death  or  serious
injury to the child.

WARNING

■

When using a child restraint system

●

When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s
shoulder.

●

Use child restraint system suitable to the age and size of the child and
install it to the rear seat.

●

If  the  driver’s  seat  interferes  with  the
child  restraint  system  and  prevents  it
from being attached correctly, attach the
child  restraint  system  to  the  right-hand
rear  seat  (left-hand  drive  vehicles)  or
the left-hand rear seat (right-hand drive
vehicles). (

1-2. Child safety

When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seat, it
may not be possible to properly use the seat belts in positions next to
the child restraint without interfering with it or affecting seat belt effec-
tiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits snugly across your shoulder and
low on your hips. If it does not, or if it interferes with the child restraint,
move to a different position. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.

●

When installing a child restraint in the rear seats, adjust the front
seat so that it does not interfere with the child or child restraint
system.

●

When installing a child seat with support base, if the child seat
interferes with the seatback when latching it into the support
base, adjust the seatback rearward until there is no interference.

●

If  the  seat  belt  shoulder
anchor  is  ahead  of  the  child
seat  belt  guide,  move  the
seat cushion forward.

●

When installing a junior seat, if the child in your child restraint
system is in a very upright position, adjust the seatback angle to
the most comfortable position. And if the seat belt shoulder
anchor is ahead of the child seat belt guide, move the seat cush-
ion forward.
