. Remove the head restraint when
mounting a child restraint system. Otherwise, it might be possible that the top tether cannot be
fastened tightly.
. Store the head restraint that has
been removed in the cargo area.
Avoid placing the head restraint

prevent it from being thrown
around in the passenger compartment in a sudden stop or a
sharp turn.

seating position where the child restraint
system is to be installed. For details, refer

Your vehicle is equipped with a supplemental restraint system in addition to a
lap/shoulder belt at each front seating
position and each rear window-side seating positions. The supplemental restraint
system (SRS) consists of seven airbags.
The configurations are as follows.
. Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal
airbags
. Driver’s and front passenger’s side
airbags
. Curtain airbags (for driver, front passenger, and window-side rear passengers)
. Knee airbag for driver
These SRS airbags are designed only
as a supplement to the primary protection provided by the seatbelt.
The system also controls front seatbelt
pretensioners. For operation instructions
and precautions concerning the seatbelt
pretensioner, refer to “Front seatbelt pretensioners” F1-21.
