Using a child restraint system
For small children and babies, the
use of a child seat or infant seat is
required. This child seat or infant
seat should be of appropriate size for
the child and should be installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
WARNING - Holding
children
Never hold a child in your arms
or lap when riding in a vehicle.
The violent forces created during
a crash will tear the child from
your arms and throw the child
against the vehicle’s interior
causing serious injury or death.
Always use a child restraint
system which is appropriate for
your child's height and weight.WARNING - Unattended
Children
Never leave children unattend-
ed in a vehicle. The vehicle can
heat up very quickly, resulting
in serious injuries or death to
the child in the vehicle.
WARNING - Seat belt use
Do not use one seat belt for two
occupants at the same time.
This will eliminate any safety
benefit provided by the seat belt
to the occupants resulting in
serious injury or death.
WARNING
Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-
vide adequate security in an
accident.

Securing a child restraint seatwith “Tether Anchor” system
Child restraint hook holders are locat-
ed on the package tray. 1. Route the child restraint seat teth-
er strap over the seatback.
For vehicles with adjustable head-
rests, route the tether strap under
the headrest and between the
headrest posts, otherwise route
the tether strap over the top of the
seatback.
For more information about the
use of the headrests, refer to
"Adjusting the height up and down
- Rear seat" in this section.
2. Connect the tether strap hook to the appropriate child restraint
hook holder and tighten to secure
the seat.
OHG031034A
WARNING - Tether strap
Never mount more than one
child restraint to a single tether
anchor or to a single lower
anchorage point. The increased
load caused by multiple seats
may cause the tethers or lower
anchorage points to break.
WARNING
-
Child restraint check
Check that the child restraint
system is secure by pushing
and pulling it in different direc-
tions. Incorrectly fitted child
restraints may swing, twist, tip
or separate causing death or

Non-operational conditions of
rear parking assist system
The rear parking assist system
may not operate properly when:
1. Moisture is frozen to the sensor. (Itwill operate normally when the
moisture has been cleared.)
2. The sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as snow or water, or
the sensor cover is blocked. (It will
operate normally when the materi-
al is removed or the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3. Driving on uneven road surfaces (unpaved roads, gravel, bumps,
gradient).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motor-
cycle engines, or truck air brakes)
are within range of the sensor.
5. Heavy rain or water spray exists.
6. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are within range of the
sensor.
7. The sensor is covered with snow.
8. Trailer towing The detecting range may decrease
when:
1. The sensor is stained with foreign
matter such as snow or water.
(The sensing range will return to
normal when removed.)
2. Outside air temperature is extremely hot or cold.
The following objects may not be
recognized by the sensor:
1. Sharp or slim objects such as ropes, chains or small poles.
2. Objects which tend to absorb the sensor frequency such as clothes,
spongy material or snow.
3. Undetectable objects smaller than 40 in. (1 m) in height and narrower
than 6 in. (14 cm) in diameter.
Rear parking assist system
precautions
The rear parking assist system maynot sound sequentially depending
on the speed and shapes of the
objects detected.
The rear parking assist system may malfunction if the vehicle bumper
height or sensor installation has
been modified or damaged. Any
non-factory installed equipment or
accessories may also interfere with
the sensor performance.
The sensor may not recognize objects less than 9.84 in. (25 cm)
from the sensor, or it may sense an
incorrect distance. Use caution.
When the sensor is frozen or stained with snow, dirt, or water,
the sensor may be inoperative until
the stains are removed using a soft
cloth.
Do not push, scratch or strike the sensor. Sensor damage could
occur.

When the conversion from Auto Hold
to EPB is not working properly a
warning will sound and a message
will appear.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS (or ESC) will not prevent acci-
dents due to improper or dangerous
driving maneuvers. Even though
vehicle control is improved during
emergency braking, always maintain
a safe distance between you and
objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions.
The vehicle should be driven at
reduced speeds in the following cir-
cumstances:
When driving on rough, gravel or
snow-covered roads.
When driving with tire chains installed.
When driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has differ-
ent surface heights.
Driving in these conditions increases
the stopping distance for your vehi-
cle.CAUTION
Depress the brake pedal when the above message appears forthe Auto Hold and EPB may notactivate.
