WARNING

• When using the vehicle's "ISOFIX"

system to install a child restraint

system in the rear seat, all unused

vehicle rear seat belt metal latch

plates or tabs must be latched se‐

curely in their seat belt buckles

and the seat belt webbing must be

retracted behind the child restraint

system to prevent the child from

reaching and taking hold of unre‐

tracted seat belts. Unlatched met‐

al latch plates or tabs may allow

the child to reach the unretracted

seat belts which may result in

strangulation and a serious injury

or death to the child in the child

restraint system.

• Do not place anything around the

lower anchors. Also make sure

that the seat belt is not caught in

the lower anchors.

To sücurü thü child rüstraint systüm

1. To ünþaþü thü child rüstraint sys‐

tüm to thü ISæFIX anchor, insürt

thü child rüstraint systüm latch into

thü ISæFIX anchor. Listün ýor thü

audiblü click sound.

CAUTION

Do not allow the rear seat belt web‐

bing to get scratched or pinched by

the ISOFIX-seat latch and ISOFIX an‐

chor during installation.

2. Connüct thü top tüthür strap to thü

corrüspondinþ top tüthür anchor‐

aþü and tiþhtün it. (Rüýür to Sü‐

curinþ a child rüstraint systüm with

ISæFIX systüm and Top tüthür

WARNING

• Do not install a child restraint sys‐

tem at the center of the rear seat

using the vehicle's ISOFIX anchors.

The ISOFIX anchors are only provi‐

ded for the left and right outboard

rear seating positions. Do not mis‐

use the ISOFIX anchors by at‐

tempting to attach a child re‐

straint system in the middle of the

rear seat to the ISOFIX anchors.

In a crash, the child restraint sys‐

tem ISOFIX attachments may not

be strong enough to secure the

child restraint system properly in

the center of the rear seat and

may break, causing serious injury

or death.

• Do not mount more than one child

restraint system to an ISOFIX an‐

chorage point. The improper in‐

creased load may cause the an‐

chorage points or top tether an‐

chor to break, causing serious in‐

jury or death.

should always move their seat as

far back as possible and sit back in

their seat.

• Do not install or place any acces‐

WARNING

• If an air bag deploys, there may be

a loud noise followed by a fine

dust released in the vehicle. These

conditions are normal and are not

hazardous - the air bags are

packed in this fine powder. The

dust generated during air bag de‐
