Always attach the tether strap to the
correct tether anchor position:

Attaching the tether strap to the incorrect
tether anchor position is dangerous. In a
collision, the tether strap could come off
and loosen the child-restraint system. If the
child-restraint system moves it could result
in death or injury to the child.

Always install the head restraint and adjust
it to the appropriate position after
removing the child-restraint system:

Driving with the head restraint removed is
dangerous as impact to the occupant's
head cannot be prevented during
emergency braking or in a collision, which
could result in a serious accident, injury or
death.
Refer to Head Restraints on page 2-17.

Installation on rear center seat

The ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

 lower anchors at

the center of the rear seat are much further
apart than the sets of ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

lower anchors for child-restraint system
installation at other seating positions.
Child-restraint systems with rigid ISOFIX/
LATCH

*1

 attachments cannot be installed

on the center seating position. Some
ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

 equipped

child-restraint systems can be placed in the
center position and will reach the nearest
ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

 lower anchors which

are 434 mm (17.1 in) apart. ISOFIX/
LATCH

*1

 compatible child-restraint

systems (with attachments on belt
webbing) can be used at this seating
position only if the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions state that the
child-restraint system can be installed to
ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

 lower anchors that are

434 mm (17.1 in) apart. Do not attach two
child-restraint systems to the same
ISOFIX/LATCH

*1

 lower anchor. If your

child-restraint system has a tether, it must
also be used for your child's optimum
safety.
 
The procedure is the same as the
installation for the rear outboard seats.
