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 the 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-fac-
ing 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 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.

WARNING

■

When using a child restraint system

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

●

Vehicles without airbag manual on-off
switch: Never install 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 children in the event
of an accident.

●

Vehicles with 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. 58)

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.

●

On some models: There is a label(s) on
the passenger side sun visor, indicating
it is forbidden to attach a rear-facing
child restraint system to the front
passenger seat.
Details of the label(s) are shown in the
illustration below.

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

●

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.

●

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).

●

Adjust the front passenger seat so that
it does not interfere with the child
restraint system.

: Move the front seat fully rearward. If the passenger seat height can be

adjusted, move it to the upper most position.

: 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.

: 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.

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
effectiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits snugly across your shoul-
der 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.
