WARNING
■
When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted
around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result
in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
●
Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.
●
Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward to ensure
that it has been securely installed.
●
After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
●
When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder 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.
●
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.
■
When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the shoulder
belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause injury or discomfort to
the child. ( → P. 36)
■
Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the seat belt will
not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury
to the child or other passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident.
