1-7. Safety information CAUTION n When installing a child restraint system l Split rear seats: When installing a child restraint system in the rear center seat, adjust both seat cushions to the same position and align seatbacks at the same angle. The seatbacks must be adjusted to the same angle. Otherwise, the child restraint system cannot be securely restrained and this may cause death or serious injuries in the event of emergency braking, sudden swerving or an accident. l Split rear seats: When using the LATCH anchors for a child restraint system, move the seat as far back as possible and adjust the seatback as upright as possible. l 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. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event of emergency braking, sudden swerving or an accident. l Ensure that the belt and tab are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted. l Push and pull the child restraint system from side to side and forward to be sure it is secure. l After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat. l Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer. l Split rear seats: When a child restraint system with a top tether strap is installed, do not install the head restraint. The head restraint may interfere with the top tether strap preventing secure installation of the child restraint system. l Split rear seats: Make sure to properly store the removed head restraint in a secure place when you use the child restraint system on the rear seats. 1 Before driving 117
