WARNING
Always install the head restraint and
adjust it to the appropriate position
after removing the child-restraint
system:
Driving with the head restraint
removed is dangerous as impact to the
occupant's head cannot be prevented
during emergency braking or in a
collision, which could result in a
serious accident, injury or death.
Refer to Head Restraints on page
2-13 .
Using the Seat Belt
When installing a child-restraint system,
follow the installation instructions
included with the product.
In addition, remove the head restraint.
However, when installing a booster seat,
always install the vehicle head restraint to
the seat where the booster seat is installed.
Using ISOFIX Anchor
WARNING
Follow the manufacturer's instructions
for the use of the child-restraint
system:
An unsecured child-restraint system
is dangerous. In a sudden stop or a
collision it could move causing serious
injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Make sure any child-
restraint system is properly secured in
place according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

Make sure the child-restraint system is
properly secured:
A child-restraint system that is not
secured is dangerous. In a sudden stop
or collision, it can become a projectile
and hit someone, causing serious
injury. When not in use, remove it
from the vehicle, put it in the luggage
compartment or at least make sure
it is securely fastened to the ISOFIX
anchors.

Make sure there are no seat belts or
foreign objects near or around the
ISOFIX anchor-secured child-restraint
system:
Not following the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions when
installing the child-restraint system is
dangerous. If seat belts or a foreign
object prevent the child-restraint
system from being securely attached
to the ISOFIX anchors and the child-
restraint system is installed improperly,
the child-restraint system could move
in a sudden stop or collision causing
serious injury or death to the child or
other occupants. When installing the
child-restraint system, make sure there
are no seat belts or foreign objects
near or around the ISOFIX anchors.
Always follow the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions. 1. First, adjust the front seat to allow
clearance between the child-restraint
system and the front seat (page
2-5 ).
2. Make sure the seatback is securely
latched by pushing it back until it is
fully locked.
3. Expand the seams on the rear of the
seat bottom slightly to verify the
locations of the ISOFIX anchor.

6. If your child-restraint system came
equipped with a tether, that probably
means it is very important to properly

WARNING
Always attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor position:

child-restraint system. If the child-
restraint system moves it could result in
death or injury to the child.

Always remove the head restraint and
install child-restraint system:
Installing a child-restraint system
without removing the head restraint is
dangerous. The child-restraint system
