(B) CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLATION
A convertible seat is used in forward−
facing and rear−facing position depend-
ing on the child’s age and size. When
installing, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions about the appropriate age
and size of the child as well as direc-
tions for installing a child restraint sys-
tem.
CAUTION
Do not put a rear−facing child re-
straint system on the rear seat if it
interferes with the lock mechanism of
the front seats. This can cause severe
injury to the child and front passen-
ger in case of sudden braking or a
collision.
When installing a child restraint system in
the rear seat center position, set both
seatbacks to the same angle as the back
of the child restraint system so that the
child restraint system is securely re-
strained.
CAUTION
Do not set both seatbacks to the dif-
ferent angle as the back of the child
restraint system. Otherwise, the child
restraint system cannot be securely
restrained.
