Adjust the rear seat

If there is a gap between the child seat and 

the seatback, adjust the seatback angle 

until good contact is achieved.

2

Place the child restraint system on 
the rear seat facing the rear of the 
vehicle.

3

Run the seat belt through the child 
restraint system and insert the plate 
into the buckle. Make sure that the 
belt is not twisted.

Fully extend the shoulder belt and 
allow it to retract to put it in lock 

WARNING

●

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.

●

Use child restraint system suitable to 

the age and size of the child and install 

it to the rear seat.

●

If the driver’s seat interferes with the 

child restraint system and prevents it 

from being attached correctly, attach 

the child restraint system to the 

right-hand rear seat.

●

Adjust the front passenger seat so that 

it does not interfere with the child 

restraint system.
