When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given
below.
 For small infants, an infant carrier should
be used. For small children whose height
when seated allows the shoulder belt to lie
in contact with the face or the throat, a
child seat should be used.

The child restraint system should be
appropriate for your child’s weight and
height and properly fit the vehicle. For a
higher degree of safety: THE CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD BE
INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.
 Before purchasing a child restraint sys-
tem, try installing it to make sure there is
a good fit. Because of the location of the
seat belt buckles and the shape of the seat
cushion, it may be difficult to securely
install some manufacturer’s child restraint
systems.
If the child restraint system can be pulled
forward or to either side easily on the seat
cushion after the seat belt has been tight-
ened, choose another manufacturer’s child
restraint system.
Infants and small children
Instruction:
WARNING
 When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the restraint system.
Failure to do so can result in severe or
fatal injury to your child.
 After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is positively secured.
If the child restraint system is not installed
securely, it may cause injury to the child
or other occupants in the case of accident
or sudden stops.
 When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system
secured with the seat belt or remove it
from the vehicle in order to prevent it
from being thrown around inside the vehi-
cle during an accident.
NOTE
 Depending on the seating position in the
vehicle and the child restraint system that
you have, the child restraint can be attached
using one of the following two ways:
• Using the lower anchorage in the rear seat
if the child restraint has ISOFIX mountings
(See page 5-20).
• Using the seat belt (See page 5-22).
