CAUTION
nWhen installing a booster seat
Do not fully extend the shoulder belt to prevent the belt from going to ALR
lock mode. ( →P. 60)
In ALR lock mode the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended,
which could cause injury or discomfort to the child seated in the booster
seat.
n 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 emer-
gency braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
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.
l Adjust the front passenger seat so that
it does not interfere with the child
restraint system.
l 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).

CAUTION
n
When installing a child restraint system
lSplit rear seats: When installing a child restraint system in the rear center
seat, adjust both seat cushions to the same position and align seatbacks
at the same angle. 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 emergency brak-
ing, sudden swerving or an accident.
l Split rear seats: When using the LATCH anchors for a child restraint sys-
tem, move the seat as far back as possible and adjust the seatback as
upright as possible.
l 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 emergency braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
l Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
l Push and pull the child restraint system from side to side and forward to be
sure it is secure.
l After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
l Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
l Split rear seats: When a child restraint system with a top tether strap is
installed, do not install the head restraint. The head restraint may interfere
with the top tether strap preventing secure installation of the child restraint
system.
l Split rear seats: Make sure to properly store the removed head restraint in
a secure place when you use the child restraint system on the rear seats.
118 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 emer-
gency braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
n To correctly attach a child r estraint system to the anchors
When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects
around the anchors 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 or other passengers in the event of
emergency braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
