WARNING
9. To remove the child restraint system,
press the release button on the seatbelt
buckle and allow the belt to retract
completely. The belt will return to the
ELR mode.
NOTE
When the child restraint system is no
longer in use, remove it and restore the
ELR function of the retractor. That
function is restored by allowing the
seatbelt to retract fully.
. NEVER INSTALL A CHILD SEAT
IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLA-
CING 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 acci-
dent, serious injury or death
could result.
1. Move the seatback back and forth to
confirm that it is securely locked into place.
– Check that the red colored unlock-
ing marker which is attached to the
bottom of the lock release knob is
invisible. For details, refer to “Folding
down the rear seatback” F1-6.
2. Prepare the rear seat head restraint
where a child restraint system is intended
to be installed in the following way.
– When a child restraint system is
installed on the window-side seating
position, remove the rear seat head
1-31
restraint. For details, refer to “Rear
seats” F1-9.
Store the head restraint in the cargo
area. Avoid placing the head restraint
in the passenger compartment to pre-
vent it from being thrown around in the
passenger compartment in a sudden
stop or a sharp turn.
– When a child restraint system is
installed on the rear center seating
position, raise the rear seat head
restraint to the extended position. Do
not remove the head restraint. For
details, refer to “Rear seats” F1-9.
3. Place the child restraint system in the
rear seating position.
WARNING
When you intend to install a child
restraint system on the rear center
seating position, if the child restraint
system does not fit snugly against
the contours of the rear center seat
cushion, install the child restraint
system on the window-side seating
position to be safe. For details, refer
to “Where to place a child restraint
system” F1-27.
