Child restraint systems specifically designed for infants and small children are offered by several manufacturers. Choose only a child restraint system with a label certifying that itcomplies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213) or Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Seats SafetyRegulations (RSSR). Look for the manufac- turer’s statement of compliance on the box and child restraint system itself. The child restraint system should be appropri- ate for your child’s weight and height, andshould properly fit your vehicle’s seat. For detail information, refer to the instruction manual accompanying the child restraint sys-tem. All children should be properly restrained in a restraint device that offers the maximum protection for their size and age.Be sure to check local, state, or provincial requirements for child size and age that may vary from the recommendations listed below.  Children less than 1 year old and who weigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUST ride in a rear-facing child safety seat that MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.
 Children older than 1
year of age and who
weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall must be in a forward-facing restraint used onlyin the rear seat.  Children who weigh more than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who are more than 40 inches(100 cm) tall, regardless of age, should use a suitable child seat or a booster seat in the rear seat until the vehicle’slap/shoulder belt fits them properly.
Guidelines for child restraint system selection
WA R N I N G All children must be seated in the rear seat, and properly restrained. Accident statistics show that children ofall sizes and ages are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat, rather than in the front seat.
 Any child who is too large to use a child restraint system should ride in the rear seat and wear the lap and shoulder belt properly. The shoulder belt must be posi- tioned over the shoulder and across thechest, not across their neck, and with the lap belt positioned low on the child’s hips, not across their stomach. If necessary, abooster seat should be used to help achieve a proper seat belt fit. Follow the booster seat manufacturer’s instructions. Only usea booster seat that is certified as comply- ing with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Sys-tems and Booster Seats Safety Regula- tions.  Never hold an infant or child in your arms or on your lap when riding in this vehicle, even when you are wearing your seat belt.Never place any part of the seat belt you are wearing around an infant or child. Failure to follow these simple instructionscreates a risk of serious injury or death to your child in the event of an accident or sudden stop.WA R N I N G

WA R N I N G Your vehicle is also equipped with a front passenger airbag. Never put REAR-FACING CHILDRESTRAINT SYSTEMS or INFANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS in the front pas- senger seat. This places the infant tooclose to the passenger airbag. During deployment of the airbag, the infant can be seriously injured or killed. Rear-facingchild restraint systems
or infant restraint
systems must only be used in the rear seat.
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seat whenever possible. If they must be used inthe front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make sure the child stays in th
e child restraint sys-
tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death to the child.Airbag
WA R N I N G It is important to use an approved rear- facing infant restraint until the infant is one year old (unless the infant outgrows the seat sooner). This allows the infant’s neck and spine to develop enough to sup-port the weight of their head in the event of an accident.  When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and follow the directions inthis manual. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death to your child in an accident or sudden stop.  After installation, push and pull the child restraint system back and forth, and sideto side, to see that it is firmly secured. If the child restraint system is not installed securely, it may cause injury to the childor other occupants in the event of an acci- dent or sudden stop.  When not in use, keep your child restraint system secured with the seat belt, or remove it from the vehicle, in order to pre-vent it from being thrown around inside the vehicle during an accident.

3. To activate the ALR child restraint instal- lation function, slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out of theretractor until it stops. Then let the belt feed back into the retractor.
4. After the belt has retracted, tug on it. If the belt is in the ALR function, you will not be able to pull it out. If the webbing can be pulled out from retractor, the ALRfunction has not been activated and you will need to repeat steps 3 and 4. 5. After confirming that the belt is locked,grab the shoulder part of the belt near the buckle and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt allowing theslack to feed into the retractor. Remember,if the lap belt portio
n is not tight, the child
restraint system will not be secure. It may help to put your weight on the childrestraint system and/or push on its seat- back while pulling up on the belt (see illustration).
6. Open the cover from the tether anchor installation point by pulling it back with your hand as illustrated below (6). 7. Latch the tether strap hook (A) of thechild restraint system to the tether anchor (B) as illustrated below (7) and tighten the top tether strap so it is securely fastened.
If your child restraint system requires the use of a tether strap, fasten the tether strap in accordance with the following procedures.
WA R N I N G Child restraint system tether anchors are designed only to withstand loads from cor- rectly fitted child restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they to be used foradult seat belts, or harnesses, or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.

The SRS includes the following components:
The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system wheneverthe ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position. These include all of the items listed above and all related wiring. The airbags will operate only when the igni- tion switch is in the “ON” or “START” posi- tion. When the impact sensors detect a front or side impact sufficient to deploy the airbag(s),the appropriate airbag(s) will be deployed.
WA R N I N G FRONT-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS should be used in the rear seat whenever possible. If they must be used inthe front passenger seat, move the seat to the most rearward position and make sure the child stays in th
e child restraint sys-
tem, properly restrained. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death to the child.Airbag
WA R N I N G Older children should be seated in the rear seat with their seat belt properly worn, and with an appropriate booster seat if needed. Refer to “Children who have outgrownchild restraint systems” on page 4-20.

CAUTION The reference lines for distance and vehicle width are intended to indicate the distance to a flat object such as a level, flat road surface. They may not indicate correct distance depending on the shape of an obstacle.For example, when there is an object behind the vehicle that has upper sections projecting in the direction of the vehicle, the referencelines on the screen will indicate that point A is the farthest point a
nd point B is the closest
point to the vehicle. In reality, point A and Bare actually the same distance from the vehi- cle, and point C is farther off than point A and B.NOTE
 Under certain circumstances, it may become difficult to see an image on the screen, even when the system is functioning correctly. • In a dark area, such as at night.
