For leftFor right
WA R N I N G
Always attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor position:
Attaching the tether strap to the incorrect
tether anchor position is dangerous. In a
collision, the tether strap could come
off
and loosen the 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 cannot be
installed correctly which may result in
death or injury to the child in a collision.
Tether strap
Forward
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 2-15.
▼ Using the Seat Belt

▼Using ISOFIX Anchor
WA R N I N G
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. If the rear seat is reclined, return it to the upright position.
3. Make sure the seatback is securely
latched by pushing it back until it is
fully locked.

seat where the booster seat is installed.
Refer to Head Restra ints on page 2-15.
6. Secure the child-restraint system using the ISOFIX anchor, following the
child-restraint system manufacturer's
instruction.
7. If your child-restraint system came
equipped with a tether, that probably
means it is very important to properly
secure the tether for child safety.
Please carefully follow the
child-restraint system manufacturer's
instructions when installing tethers
(page 2-38).
WA R N I N G
Always attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor position:
Attaching the tether strap to the incorrect
tether anchor position is dangerous. In a
collision, the tether strap could come off
and loosen the 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 (except when
installing a booster seat):
Installing a child-restraint system without
removing the head restraint is dangerous.
The child-restraint system cannot be
installed correctly which may result in
death or injury to the child in a collision.

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.

If your vehicle is also equipped with a front passenger occupant classification system,
refer to the Front Passenger O ccupant Classification System (pa ge 2-58) for details.
If your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant cla ssification system, the front
passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates for a specified time after the
ignition is switched ON.


A child who is too small to use a seat belt must be properly se cured using a child-restraint
system (page 2-24).

Carefully consider whic h child-restraint system is necessary fo r your child and follow the
installation directions in this Owner's Manual as well as the c hild-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions.
WA R N I N G
Seat belts must be worn in air bag equipped vehicles:
Depending only on the air bags for protection during an accident is dangerous. Alone, air
bags may not prevent serious injuries. The appr opriate air bags can be expected to inflate
only in the first accident, such as frontal, near frontal or side collision s or roll-over accidents
that are at least moderate. Vehicle occu pants should always wear seat belts.

Children should not ride in the front passenger seat:
Placing a child, 12 years or under, in the front seat is dangerous. The child could be hit by a
deploying air bag and be seriously injured or even killed. A sleeping child is more likely to lean
against the door and be hit by the side air ba g in moderate collision to the front-passenger
side of the vehicle. Whenever possible, always secure a child 12 years and under on the rear
seats with an appropriate child-restrain t system for the child's age and size.
