• Select a Child Restraint System thatfits the vehicle seating position where it will be used.
For the suitability of Child Restraint
Systems on the vehicle's seating po‐ sitions, please refer to the installa‐
tion tables.
• Read and comply with the warnings and instructions for installation and
use provided with the Child Restraint
System.
Child Restraint System types
There are three main types of Child Re‐
straint Systems: rearward-facing, for‐ ward-facing and booster Child Re‐
straint Systems.
They are classified according to the
child’s age, height and weight.
Rearward-facing Child Restraint Sys‐tem
A rearward-facing Child Restraint Sys‐
tem provides restraint with the seating surface against the back of the child.
The harness system holds the child in
place, and in an accident, acts to keep the child positioned in the Child Re‐
straint Systems and reduce the stress
to the fragile neck and spinal cord. All children under the age of one year
must always ride in a rearward-facing
Child Restraint System. There are dif‐
ferent types of rearward-facing Child Restraint Systems: infant-only Child
Restraint Systems can only be used
rearward-facing. Convertible and 3- in-1 Child Restraint Systems typically
have higher height and weight limits for
the rearward-facing position, allowing
you to keep your child rearward-facing for a longer period of time.
Keep using Child Restraint Systems in
the rearward-facing position as long as
children fit within the height and weight limits allowed by the Child Re‐
straint System's manufacturer.

Forward-facing Child Restraint System
A forward-facing Child Restraint Sys‐
tem provides restraint for the child’s body with a harness. Keep children in a
forward-facing Child Restraint System
with a harness until they reach the top height or weight limit allowed by your
Child Restraint System’s manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the forward-
facing Child Restraint System, your child is ready for a booster seat.
Booster seats
A booster seat is a Child Restraint Sys‐
tem designed to improve the fit of the
vehicle’s seat belt system. A booster seat positions the seat belt so that it
fits properly over the stronger parts of
your child’s body. Keep your children in booster seats until they are big enough
to fit in a seat belt properly.
For a seat belt to fit properly, the lap
belt must lie comfortable across the upper thighs, not the stomach. The
shoulder belt should lie comfortable
across the shoulder and chest and not across the neck or face. Children under
age 13 must always be properly re‐
strained to minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden
maneuver.
Installing a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
WARNING
Before installing your Child RestraintSystem always:Read and follow the instructionsprovided by the manufacturer of theChild Restraint System.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Failure to follow all warnings and in‐structions could increase the risk ofa SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH if an ac‐cident occurs.
WARNING
If the vehicle headrest preventsproper installation of a Child Re‐straint System, the headrest of therespective seating position shall bereadjusted or entirely removed.
After selecting a proper Child Restraint
System for your child and checking that the Child Restraint System fits properly
on the seating position, there are three
general steps for a proper installation: •
Properly secure the Child RestraintSystem to the vehicle. All Child Re‐
straint Systems must be secured to
the vehicle with the lap belt or lap
part of a lap/shoulder belt or with the
ISOFIX top-tether and/or ISOFIX an‐
chorage and/or with the support leg.

•Passengers should not move out ofor change seats while the vehicle ismoving. A passenger who is not
wearing a seat belt during a crash or
emergency stop can be thrown
against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or out of
the vehicle.
•
Each seat belt is designed to restrainone occupant. If more than one per‐
son uses the same seat belt, they
could be seriously injured or killed in a
collision.
•
Do not use any accessories on seatbelts. Devices claiming to improve oc‐
cupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection provi‐
ded by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
•
Passengers should not place hard orsharp objects between themselvesand the air bags. Carrying hard or
sharp objects on your lap or in your
mouth can result in injuries if an air
bag inflates. •
Keep occupants away from the airbag covers.
All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on
the floor. If occupants are too close
to the air bag covers, they could be injured if the air bags inflate.
•
Do not attach or place objects on ornear the air bag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front or
side air bag covers could interfere with the proper operation of the air
bags.
•
Do not modify the front seats. Modi‐
fication of the front seats could in‐
terfere with the operation of the
supplemental restraint system sens‐ ing components or side air bags.
•
Do not place items under the frontseats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the opera‐
tion of the supplemental restraint
system sensing components and wir‐ ing harnesses.
•
Never hold an infant or child on yourlap. The infant or child could be seri‐
ously injured or killed in the event of
a crash. All infants and children should be properly restrained in ap‐
propriate child safety seats or seat
belts in the rear seat.
WARNING
•Sitting improperly or out of posi‐tion can cause occupants to beshifted too close to a deploying airbag, strike the interior structureor be thrown from the vehicle re‐sulting in serious injury or death.
•Always sit upright with the seat‐back in an upright position, cen‐tered on the seat cushion withyour seat belt on, legs comfortablyextended and your feet on thefloor.
Adding equipment to or
modifying your air bag-
equipped vehicle
If you modify your vehicle by changing
your vehicle's frame, bumper system, front end or side sheet metal or ride
height, this may affect the operation of
your vehicle's air bag system.

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, gra‐ dient).
4. Objects generating excessive noise (vehicle horns, loud motorcycle en‐
gines, or truck air brakes) are with‐
in 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 decreasewhen:
1. The sensor is stained with foreign matter such as snow or water. (The
sensing range will return to normal
when removed.)

precautions
• The rear parking assist system may not sound consistently 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-fac‐
tory installed equipment or accesso‐ ries may also interfere with the sen‐
sor performance.
• The sensor may not recognize ob‐ jects less than 30 cm (12 in.) from
the sensor, or it may sense an incor‐
rect 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.
