Child restraint
EG20A-Ea
When transporting children in your vehicle,
some type of child restraint system should
always be used according to the size of the
child.
This is required by law in most countries.
The regulations concerning driving with chil-
dren in the front seat may differ from coun-
try to country. You are advised to comply
with the relevant regulations.
WARNING
(1) When possible, put children in
the rear seat. Accident statis-
tics indicate that children of all
sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear
seat rather than in the front seat.
(2) Holding a child in your arms is
no substitute for a restraint sys-
tem. Failure to use a proper
restraint system can result in
severe or fatal injury to your
child.
(3) Each restraint device or fixing is
to be used only by one child.

Caution for installing the child
restraint on vehicle with front pas-
senger air bagThe label shown here is attached on
vehicles with front passenger air bag.
If this label is attached, never install the
rear-facing child restraint on the front pas-
senger’s seat.
G28G 436A
WARNING
(1) Extreme Hazard!
REAR-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINTS must NOT be used
in the front passenger seat as it
places an infant too close to the
passenger air bag. The force of
an inflating air bag could kill or
cause serious injuries to the
child. Rear-facing child restraints
must only be used in the rear
seat (3-door models)/second
seat (5-door models).
G28G 439A
WARNING
(2) FRONT-FACING CHILD
RESTRAINTS should be used in
the rear seat (3-door models)/
second seat (5-door models)
whenever possible; if used in the
front seat, adjust the seat to the
fully backward position.

Infants and small children
EG20B-Ba
When transporting infants and small chil-
dren in your vehicle, follow the instruction
given below.
Instruction:
(1) For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children
whose height when seated allows the
shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should
be used.
(2) The child restraint system should be
appropriate for your child’s weight and
height and properly fit the vehicle. For
a higher degree of safety: THE CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD BE
INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.(3) Before purchasing a child seat or infant
carrier, first try to install it in the rear
seat to ensure it fits well. Due to the
location of the seat belt buckles in the
seat cushion, it may be difficult to
securely install some child restraint sys-
tems.
If the child restraint system can be
pulled forward easily on the seat cush-
ion after the belt has been tightened,
choose another child restraint sys-
tem.
WARNING
(1) When installing a child restraint
system, refer to the instruc-
tions provided by the manufac-
turer of the restraint system.
Failure to do so can result in
severe or fatal injury to your
child.
(2) 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 case of accident or
sudden stops.
(3) When the child restraint sys-
tem is not in use, keep your
child or infant seat secured with
the seat belt or remove it from
the vehicle in order to prevent
injury to your child.

3. To activate the ALR mode, slowly pullthe shoulder part of the belt all the way
out until it stops, then let the belt feed
back into the retractor.
4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it. If the belt is locked, you will not be able to
pull it out. If you can pull the belt out, it
is not locked and you will need to repeat
these steps.
G18C056A
5. After confirming that the belt is locked,grab the shoulder part of the belt near
the buckle and pull up to remove any
slack from the lap part of the belt.
Remember, if the lap part of the belt is
not tight, the child restraint will not be
secure. It may help to put weight on the
child restraint, or push on the seat-
back while pulling up on the belt.
6. Before putting the child in the restraint, push and pull the restraint in all direc-
tions to be sure it is secure. Do this
before each use.
7. To deactivate the ALR mode in order to remove a child restraint etc., after
removing the child from the restraint,
unlatch the buckle, unroute the seat belt,
let the belt fully retract, and rewind the
belt. NOTE

then perform step 2 to 7 again.
WARNING
(1) Before putting the child in the restraint, be absolutely sure to
make the conversion of the
retractor from the ELR mode to
the ALR mode. By doing so, the
child restraint system is always
tightly secured to the seat by the
automatic lock. If the conver-
sion to ALR is not made, the
child restraint system could
move forward in the event of
sudden braking or an accident,
seriously injuring the child or
other occupants.
(2) If a person wearing the seat belt moves one ’s upper body signifi-
cantly such that the belt com-
pletely unwinds, the retractor
may switch to its ALR mode and
lock, thus preventing further
movement. If this happens, the
person should switch the retrac-
tor back to its ELR mode by tak-
ing off the seat belt and fully
rewinding it. The person should
then wear the seat belt again.
