tions can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to the SAE J1819.
CAUTION

116 1-7. Safety information
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 or other
passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
●Vehicles with reclining type rear seat: When installing a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear center position, adjust both seatbacks as upright as possi-
ble. The seatbacks must be adjusted to the same angle. Otherwise, the
child restraint system cannot be securely restrained and this may cause
death or serious injuries in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving
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.
● Adjust the front passenger seat so that
it does not interfere with the child
restraint system.
● 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 the “AIR BAG
OFF” indicator light is illuminated. Fail-
ing to do so may result in death or seri-
ous injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).
