Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/Child restraint systems
1-31
CAUTION
Store the head restraint that has
been removed in the cargo area.
Avoid placing 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.
3. For models with rear seat reclining
mechanism, adjust the seatback to the
upright position.
4. 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.
5. Run the lap and shoulder belt through
or around 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”
F1-18.
6. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle
until you hear a click.
7. Take up the slack in the lap belt.
8. 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.
