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.

WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do 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.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are
securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.
●Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and back-ward to ensure that it has been
securely installed.
●After securing a child restraint sys-
tem, never adjust the seat.

should be kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s shoulder.

tem manufacturer.

WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may
not be made
●It may not be possible to make Emergency Calls in any of the fol-
lowing situations. In such cases, report to emergency services pro-vider (112 system etc.) by other
means such as nearby public phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cel- lular phone service area, it may be difficult to connect to the eCall con-
trol center if the reception is poor or the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempts to con-
nect to the eCall control center, you may not be able to connect to the eCall control center to make Emer-
gency Calls and contact emergency services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellu- lar phone service area, the Emer-gency Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, indicator
lights, microphone, speaker, DCM, antenna, or any wires connecting the equipment) is malfunctioning,
damaged or broken, the Emer- gency Call cannot be made.
