Child Restraint Systems
CAUTION
Store the removed head restraint in the cargo area. Do not place the head restraint in the passenger compartment to prevent it from being thrown around in the passenger compartment in a sudden stop or a sharp turn.
WARNING
When you intend to install a child restraint system in 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 in the window-side seating position to be safe.
3. Run the lap and shoulder belt through the child restraint system following the instructions provided by its manufacturer. – When a child restraint system is installed on the rear center seating position, pass the rear center seatbelt through the belt guide properly. For details, refer to“ Rear center seatbelt” FP44.
4. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle until you hear a click.
5. Take up the slack in the lap belt.
6. Pull out the seatbelt fully from the retractor to change the retractor over from the Emergency Locking Retractor( ELR) to the Automatic Locking Retractor( ALR) function. Then, allow the belt to rewind into the retractor. As the belt is rewinding, clicks will be heard which indicate the retractor functions as ALR.
