seat, if there is a gap between the child
seat and the seatback, adjust the
seatback angle until good contact is
achieved.
If the head restraint interferes

WARNING
■When using a child restraint sys- tem
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat when the airbag man- ual on-off switch is on. ( P.47) The force of the rapid inflation of the
front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to children in the event of an accident.
●There is a label(s) on the passen-ger side sun visor, indicating it is forbidden to attach a rear-facing
child restraint system to the front passenger seat.Details of the label(s) are shown in
the illustration below.

WARNING
WARNING
●Only put a forward-facing child restraint system on the front seat
when unavoidable. When installing a forward-facing child restraint on the front passenger seat, move the
seat as far back as possible. Failing to do so may result in death or seri-ous injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).
●Do not allow the child to lean
his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front or rear pillars, or roof
side rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield air-
bags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side and
curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
●When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder
belt is positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be kept away from the
child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s shoulder.

For safety and security
The child restraint systems mentioned in the table may not be available out-
side the EU countries and United Kingdom.
When securing some types of child
restraint systems in rear seat, 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 effec-
tiveness. 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 seri-
ous injury.
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 interfer-
ence.
If the seat belt shoulder anchor is
ahead of the child seat belt
guide, move the seat cushion
forward.
When installing a junior seat, if
the child in your child restraint
system is in a very upright posi-
tion, adjust the seatback angle to
the most comfortable position.
And if the seat belt shoulder
anchor is ahead of the child seat
belt guide, move the seat cush-
ion forward.
When using the child restraint
system with SecureGuard, be
sure to guide the lap belt into
SecureGuard as shown in the
illustration.
Confirm with the operation manual enclosed with the child restr aint system
about the installation of the child restraint system.

repairer.
■Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle
There may be no engine sound or vibra-
tion even though the vehicle is able to move with the “READY” indicator is illu-minated. For safety, apply the parking
brake and make sure to shift the shift lever to P when parked.
The following sounds or vibrations may
occur when the hybrid system is operat- ing and are not a malfunction:
●Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.
●Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) under the rear seats when the hybrid system
