CAUTION

■

Child restraint precautions

●

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 and rear 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 airbags and curtain shield

airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.

●

Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the

child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not

secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a

sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.

■

When children are in the vehicle

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.

■

When the child restraint system is not in use

●

Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is not in use.

Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the passenger compartment.

●

If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the vehicle or

store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it from injuring

passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
