WARNING
■
When installing a child restraint sys-
tem
Observe the following when installing
child restraint system to the front passen-
ger seat if it is unavoidable. The front pas-
senger SRS airbag inflates with
considerable speed and force that if not
observed may lead to death or serious
injury to the child.
●
Never use a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger seat.The
force of the rapid inflation of the front
passenger airbag can cause death or
serious injury to children in the event of
an accident.
●
A forward-facing child restraint system
may be installed on the front passen-
ger seat only when it is unavoidable. A
child restraint system that requires a
top strap should not be used in the
front passenger seat since there is no
top strap anchor for the front passen-
ger seat.
●
Only put a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front seat when
unavoidable. When installing a for-
ward-facing child restraint on the front
passenger seat, move the seat as far
back as possible. Failing to do so may
result in death or serious injury if the
airbags deploy (inflate).
●
Do not allow the child to lean his/her
head or any part of his/her body
against the door or the area of the seat,
front pillars or roof side rails from
which the SRS side airbags or SRS
curtain shield airbags deploy even if
the child is seated in the child restraint
system. It is dangerous if the SRS side
and curtain shield airbags inflate, and
the impact could cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child.
●
When a junior seat (booster seat) is
installed, always ensure that the shoul-
der belt is positioned across the center
of the child’s shoulder. The belt should
be kept away from the child’s neck, but
not so that it could fall off the child’s
shoulder.
●
Use child restraint system suitable to
the age and size of the child and install
it to the rear seat.
