2. Place the child restraint system in the appropriate position.
3. For models with rear seat reclining mechanism, if there is a gap between the child restraint system and the seatback, adjust the seatback angle until good contact is achieved.
4. If the child restraint system makes contact with the head restraint when the child restraint system is to be installed, perform the following procedure.
. Except rear center seat: Remove the head restraint.
. Rear center seat: Raise the head restraint to the extended position. If the child restraint system still makes contact, install the child restraint system in a seating position other than the rear center seat. For details, refer to“ Head Restraint Adjustment” FP65.
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.
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.
