Child restraint systems
restraint systems cannot be installed on the front passenger’ s seat. Install the child restraint system on the rear seats. For more details, refer to“ SUBARU advanced frontal airbag system” FP96.
5. Check that the child restraint system does not contact the head restraint. If the child restraint system does make contact with the head restraint, raise the head restraint to the extended position. If the child restraint system still makes contact, remove the head restraint. For details, refer to“ Head restraints” FP48.

CAUTION
. When you install a child restraint system, follow the manufacturer’ s instructions supplied with it. After installing the child restraint system, check to ensure that it is held securely in position. If it is not held tight and secure, the danger of your child suffering personal injury in the event of an accident may be increased.
. When installing a child restraint system in the rear center seating position, set both seatbacks to the original position. Otherwise, the child restraint system cannot be securely restrained, which may result in death or serious injuries in the event of sudden stop, sudden steering maneuver or an accident.

WARNING
. NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYS- TEM ON THE FRONT PASSEN- GER’ S SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’ S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.
. Before installing a child restraint system, be sure to confirm that the seatback is securely locked into place. Otherwise, in an accident, serious injury or death could result.
1. If the seat is equipped with a slide mechanism, set the seat as far back as possible.
2. Place the child restraint system in the rear seating position.
NOTE
If the child restraint system cannot be installed because it contacts the head restraint, remove the head restraint. For details, refer to“ Head restraints” FP48.
3. Run the lap and shoulder belt through or around the child restraint system following the instructions provided by its manufacturer.
4. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle until you hear a click.
