CAUTION
When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted
around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could
result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to
cut the belt.
When the child restraint system is not in use
Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is not in
use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the passenger com-
partment.
If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the vehi-
cle or store it securely in the trunk. This will prevent it from injuring passen-
gers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

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 a 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 (left-hand drive vehicles) or the
left-hand rear seat (right-hand drive vehi-
cles).
Adjust the front passenger seat so that it
does not interfere with the child restraint
system.
When installing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as possi-
ble.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).
