CAUTION
■When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the shoul-
der belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause injury or dis-
comfort 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 correctly fixed in place, the child or other passen-
gers may be seriously injured or even kill ed in the event of sudden braking 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 righ t-hand rear seat.
●Adjust the front passenger seat or rear
seats so that it does not interfere with the
child restraint system.
●Only put a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front se at when unavoidable.
When installing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, move the seat as far back as possible
even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is
illuminated. Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).
