■Laws and regulations pertaining to anchorages

The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.

Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifica-

tions can be used.

This vehicle is designed to conform to SAE J1819.

CAUTION

1

■When installing a booster seat

To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the

shoulder belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause

injury or discomfort to the child. (P. 30)

■When installing a child restraint system

Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual

and fix the child restraint system securely in place.

If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other

passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of a sudden

braking or an accident.

●If the driver’s seat interferes with the

child restraint system and prevents it

from being attached correctly, attach the

child restraint system to the right-hand

rear seat.

●Adjust the front passenger seat so that

it does not interfere with the child

restraint system.

●Only put a forward-facing child restraint

system on the front seat when unavoid-

able. When installing a forward-facing

child restraint system on the front pas-

senger seat, move the seat as far back

as possible even if the “AIR BAG OFF”

indicator light is illuminated. Failure to

do so may result in death or serious

injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).

CAUTION

■When installing a child restraint system

●When using the LATCH anchors for a child restraint system, move the seat

as far back as possible, with the seatback close to the child restraint sys-

tem.

●When a booster 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. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event

of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

●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 backward

to ensure that it has been securely installed.

●After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.

●Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system

manufacturer.

●When using the right side seat for the

child restraint system, do not sit in the

center seat. Seat belt function may be

impaired, such as being positioned

overly high or loose-fitting, which may

result in death or serious injury in the

event of sudden braking or an accident.

■Do not use a seat belt extender

If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the

seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause

death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sud-

den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

■To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors

When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects

around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child

restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached,

or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in

the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerve or an accident.
