For safety and security
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.
Confirm with the operation manual enclosed with the child restraint system
about the installation of the child restraint system.

system to the front passenger
seat is unavoidable, refer to
P.52 for the front passenger
seat adjustment.
2 Adjust the seatback angle to the
most upright position. When
installing a forward-facing child
seat, if there is a gap between
the child seat and the seatback,
adjust the seatback angle until
good contact is achieved.
3 If the head restraint interferes
with the child restraint system
installation and the head
restraint can be removed,
remove the head restraint. Oth-
erwise, put the head restraint in
the upper most position.
( P.232)
4 Run the seat belt through the
child restraint system and insert
the plate into the buckle. Make
sure that the belt is not twisted.
Securely fix the seat belt to the
child restraint system in accor-
dance to the directions enclosed
with the child restraint system.
5 If your child restraint system is
not equipped with a lock-off (a
seat belt locking feature),
secure the child restraint system
using a locking clip.

system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is installed
securely. ( P.62)
QRemoving a child restraint
system installed with a seat
belt
Press the buckle release button
and fully retract the seat belt.
When releasing the buckle, the child

Since the seat belt automatically reels
itself, slowly return it to the stowing
position.

WARNING
QWhen installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
ODo not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around a child’s
neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death. If this occurs and
the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.
