Child Restraint Systems
GER’S SRS AIRBAG, NEVER IN-
STALL A CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN
THE FRONT PASSENGER’S
SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SER-
IOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE
CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO
THE SRS AIRBAG.
. Do not allow children to lean their
heads or any other parts of their
bodies against the door or the
area of the seat, front and rear
pillars or roof side rails. The SRS
side airbags and SRS curtain
airbags deploy even if children
are seated in the child restraint
system. It will be dangerous if the
SRS side airbags and SRS curtain
airbags inflate. The impact
could cause death or serious
injury to the child.
. To secure the child restraint system,
be sure to comply with all
installation instructions provided
by the child restraint manufacturer.
Not doing so could result in
death or serious injury to children
in a sudden stop or accident.
& Choosing a Child Restraint
System
s01ag02
Choose a child restraint system that is
appropriate for the child’s age and size
(weight and height) in order to provide the
child with proper protection. The child
restraint system should meet all applicable
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards for the United States or
of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
for Canada. It can be identified by looking
for the label on the child restraint system or
the manufacture’s statement of compliance
in the document attached to the
system. Also it is important for you to make
sure that the child restraint system is
compatible with the vehicle in which it will
be used.
& Installing Child Restraint
Systems with ALR/ELR Seatbelt
s01ag04
CAUTION
. When you install a child restraint
system, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with
it. After installing the child restraint
system, check to ensure
that it is held securely in position.
If it is not held tight and secure,
the danger of your child suffering
personal injury in the event of an
accident may be increased.
. When installing a child restraint
system in the rear center seating
position, set both seatbacks to
the original position. Otherwise,
the child restraint system cannot
be securely restrained, which
may result in death or serious
injuries in the event of sudden
stop, sudden steering maneuver
or an accident.
