nLaws and regulations pertaining to Anchors
Anchors conform to FMVSS225.
Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 specifications can be
used.

CAUTION
nWhen installing a booster seat
Do not fully extend the shoulder belt to prevent the belt from going to ALR
lock mode: (P. 72)

comfort to the child.
l
Do not allow the child to play with the seat belt or the child could be killed
or serious injured.

Before driving
CAUTION
nWhen 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.
lWhen 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.
lEnsure the belt and tab are securely locked and that the seat belt is not
twisted.
lPush and pull the child seat in different directions to be sure it is secure.
l
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
lIf 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.
lChild restraint system installed on the
third seat should not contact the second
seatbacks.
l
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 passenger seat, move the seat as
far back as possible even if the AIR
BAG OFF indicator light illuminates.
Failing to do so may result in death or
serious injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).

138 1−7. Safety information
CAUTION
nDo 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.
nTo correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors
l
When using the lower anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects
around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child
seat. 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.
lWhen using the left side lower anchors
for the child restraint system, do not sit
in the center seat. Seat belt function
may be impaired, such as being posi−
tioned overly high or loose−fitting, which
may result in death or serious injury in
the event of a collision.

2−4. Using other driving systems
Pre−Collision System (if equipped)
nThe precollision system is operational when
lVehicle speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h).
lThe system detects sudden braking or skidding.
lThe front occupants are wearing a seat belt.
nWhen there is a malfunction in the system
Warning message will be displayed on the multi−information display.
(
P. 460)
CAUTION
nLimitations of the precollision system
Do not rely on the pre−collision system. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings and checki ng for any obstacles or other road
hazards.
The system detects emergency braking from the speed and force
with which the driver presses the br
ake pedal, and quickly tightens
the seat belt to improve the effectiveness of the seat belt pretension
ers (
P. 72). This system also oper ates in the same manner when
the vehicle slips sideways.

210 2−5. Driving information
CAUTION
nOffroad vehicle precautions
Always observe the following precautions to help minimize the risk of serious
personal injury or damage to your vehicle:
lIn a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers
should fasten their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving.
lAvoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all possible.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury.
lLoading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the vehi−
cle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly.
lAlways slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of its profile and higher
center of gravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordi−
nary passenger car. Slowing down will allow you to have better control.
l
Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes. Driving straight up or
straight down is preferred. Your vehicle (or any similar off−road vehicle)
can tip over sideways much more easily than forward or backward.
