 When the anchor bracket is not in use
CAUTION
 When installing a booster seat
Do not fully extend the shoulder belt to prevent the belt from going to ALR
lock mode. ( P. 53)
ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only which could cause injury or dis−
comfort to the child.
 Do not allow the child to play with the seat belt or the child could be killed
or seriously injured.
Lower the anchor bracket.
The anchor bracket is only designed to
secure the top strap. Do not use the
anchor bracket for any other purpose.

Before driving
CAUTION
 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 correctly fixed in place, the child may be
seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
 When a booster 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. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event
of an accident or sudden braking.
 Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
Push and pull the child restraint system in different directions to be sure it
is secure.
 Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
 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 seat on the front
passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible even if AIR BAG OFF
indicator light is illuminated. Failing to
do so may result in death or serious
injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).

102 1−7. Safety information
CAUTION
 Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when installing 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 colli−
sion.
 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
restraint. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may
cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or
accident.
