WARNING
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag
unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occu-pants to hold items on their knees.
●Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pillars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger seat toward the door or
put their head or hands outside the vehicle.
●Do not attach anything to or lean anything against areas such as the dashboard or steering wheel pad.
These items can become projec- tiles when the SRS driver and front passenger airbags deploy.
●Do not attach anything to areas such as a door, windshield, side
windows, front or rear pillar, roof side rail and assist grip. (Except for the speed limit label →P.382)
●Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All
of these items could become pro- jectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS cur-
tain shield airbags deploy.
●Do not use seat accessories which
cover the parts where the SRS side airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags.
Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating cor-rectly, disable the system or cause
the side airbags to inflate acciden- tally, resulting in death or serious injury.

If your child restraint system is “i-Size” category, you can install it on the
positions mentioned by i-U in the table below.
Child restraint system category can be found in the restraint system man-
ual.
Key of letters inserted in the above table:
i-U: Suitable position for i-Size child restraint system forward-facing and/or
rearward-facing
X: Not suitable position for i-Size child restraint system
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.
z 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.
z 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.
z If the seat belt shoulder anchor is
ahead of the child seat belt
guide, move the seat cushion
forward.
