When securing some types of child restrain t systems in second row seats, it may
not be possible to properly use the seat belts in positions next to the child
restraint without interfering with it or affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be sure
your seat belt fits snugly across your shoulder and low on your hips. If it does not,
or if it interferes with the child restraint, move to a different position. Failure to do
so may result in death or serious injury.
The child restraint systems mentioned in the table may not be available outside
the EU area.
●When installing a child restraint in the rear seats, adjust the front seat so that it
does not interfere with the child or child restraint system.
●When installing a child seat with support base, if the child seat interferes with
the seatback when latching it into the support base, adjust the seatback rear-
ward until there is no interference.
●When installing a forward-facing
child seat, if there is a gap between
the child seat and the seatback,
adjust the seatback angle until good
contact is achieved.

If your child restraint system is not
equipped with a lock-off (a seat
belt locking feature), secure the
child restraint system using a
locking clip.
