1 When a child-restraint system is installed to the rear center seat, do not seat occupants in the rear right
outboard seat position.
*
2 When installing a child-restraint system to the front passenger seat, adjust the seat slide position as far back as
possible. Adjust the seat bottom to the highest position so that the seat belt can securely fasten the
child-restraint system.
Refer to Seat Operation on page 2-5.
NOTE
When installing a child-restraint system, the following points must be observed:

Always remove the head restraint before installing a child-restraint system. However,
when installing a backless booster seat, always install the vehicle head restraint to the
seat where the backless booster seat is installed. In addition, always use a tether strap
and attach it securely. Refer to Head Restraints on page 2-10.

When installing a child-restraint system to the rear seat, adjust the front seat position so
that the front seat does not contact the child-restraint system. Refer to Seat Operation 2-5.
(Except Mexico)
Please comply with the legal regulations concerning the use of child-restraint systems in
your country.
