1-7. Safety information
CAUTION
■When installing a booster seat
Do not fully extend the shoulder belt to prevent the belt from going to ALR lock
mode: ( P. 31)
●ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only which could cause injury or discomfort
to the child.
●Do not allow the child to play with the seat belt or the child could be killed or seri-
ous injured.
■When installing a child restraint system
Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual and fix
the child restraint system securely in place.
If the child restraint system is not correctl y fixed in place, the child may be injured or
even killed in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
●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.
●Only put a forward facing or booster child
seat on the front seat when unavoidable.
When installing a forward facing or
booster child restraint on the front passen-
ger seat, move the seat as far back as possi-
ble even if the “AIRBAG OFF” indicator
light is illuminated. Failing to do so may
result in death or serious injury if the air-
bags deploy (inflate).

Before driving
CAUTION
■When installing a child restraint system
●When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned 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. Failing to
do so may result in death or serious inju ry in the event of an accident or sudden
braking.
●Ensure the belt and tab are securely locked and that the seat belt is not twisted.
●Push and pull the child seat in different directions to be sure it is secure.
●Follow all installation instructions provid ed by the child restraint system manufac-
turer.
■Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when inst alling a child restraint system, the seat belt
will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious
injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a collision.
●When installing a child restraint system in
the third center position, set the both seat-
backs to the same an gle. Otherwise, the
child restraint system cannot be properly
secured.

CAUTION
■To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchorages
●When using the lower anchorages, be sure that there are no foreign objects
around the anchorages and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child seat.
Make sure the child restraint system is se curely attached, or it may cause death or
serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
●When using the left side lower anchorages
for the child restraint system, do not sit in
the center seat. Seat belt function may be
impaired, such as being positioned overly
high or loose-fitting, which may result in
death or serious injury in the event of a col-
lision.
