1-7. Safety information
While pushing the child restraint
system into the seat, allow the lap
belt to retract until the child
restraint system is securely in
place.
After the lap belt has retracted to a
point where there is no slack in the
belt, pull the belt to check that it
cannot be extended.
If the child restraint has a top tether strap, the top tether strap
should be latched onto the top tether strap anchor.

Sit the child in the booster seat. Fit
the seat belt to the booster seat

instructions and insert the plate
into the buckle. Make sure that the
belt is not twisted.
Check that the lap belt is correctly
positioned over the child's shoul-
der, and that the lap belt is as low as
possible. ( P. 3 6 )

■Laws and regulations pertaining to anchorages
Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifications
can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to the SAE J1819.
CAUTION
■When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR lo ck mode, do not fully extend the lap belt.
ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause injury or discomfort to
the child. ( P. 3 8 )
■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 or driver may be
seriously injured or even killed in the ev ent of sudden braking, sudden swerving or
an accident.
●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 sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
●Only put a forward facing child restraint
system on the seat when unavoidable.
When installing a forward facing child
restraint system on the passenger seat,
move the seat as far back as possible even
if the “AIR BAG OFF” in dicator light is illu-
minated. Failing to do so may result in
death or serious injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).
