Removing a child restraint system installed with a seat belt

Press the buckle release button
and fully retract the seat belt.

When  releasing  the  buckle,  the
child  restraint  system  may
spring up due to the rebound of
the  seat  cushion.  Release  the
buckle  while  holding  down  the
child restraint system.
Since the seat belt automatically
reels itself, slowly return it to the
stowing position.

1-2. Child safety

WARNING

■

When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●

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 inju-
ries that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be
used to cut the belt.

●

Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.

●

Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward
to ensure that it has been securely installed.

●

After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.

●

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.

●

Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.

●

When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seats, it may
not be possible to properly use the seat belts in positions next to the child
restraint without interfering with it or affecting seat belt effectiveness. Be
sure your seat belt fits snugly across your shoulder and low on your hips. If
it does not, or if it interferes with the child restraint, move to a different
position. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

■

When installing a booster seat
To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the
shoulder belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause
injury or discomfort to the child. (

P. 28)

■

Do not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the
seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause
death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

If the child restraint has a top tether strap, follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s operation manual regarding the installa-
tion, using the top tether strap to latch onto the top tether strap
anchor. (

P. 70)

After installing the child restraint system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is installed securely. (

P. 66)

■

When installing in the rear center seat
There  are  no  LATCH  anchors  behind  the  rear  center  seat.  How-
ever, the inboard LATCH anchors of the outboard seats, which are
16.1 in. (410 mm) apart, can be used if the child restraint system
manufacturer’s  instructions  permit  use  of  those  anchors  with  the
anchor spacing stated.
Child  restraint  systems  with  rigid  lower  attachments  cannot  be
installed in the center seat. This type of child restraint system can
only be installed in the outboard seat.

■

Laws and regulations pertaining to anchors
The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.
Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifica-
tions can be used.
This vehicle is designed to conform to SAE J1819.

■

Anchor brackets (for top tether strap)
Anchor brackets are provided for each rear seat.
Use anchor brackets when fix-
ing the top tether strap.

WARNING

■

When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

●

When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects
around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child
restraint system.

●

Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.

●

Never attach two child restraint system attachments to the same anchor. In
a collision, one anchor may not be strong enough to hold two child
restraint system attachments and may break.
If the LATCH anchors are already in use, use the seat belt to install a child
restraint system in the center seat.

●

If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the security of the child restraint system.
