Installing a child restraint system with a lap/shoulder belt

To install a child restraint system on the seat, do the following:

For stable and safe installation of child restraint system, adjust the vehicle seat (seatback angle and/or seat forward and backward) so that your child can fit in the child restraint system in a comfortable manner. To properly accommodate child restraint systems in all adjustment positions, the front passenger seat may be moved rearwards with the seat back not passing beyond the seat belt shoulder anchor.

Place the child restraint system in the seat and route the lap/shoulder belt around or through the child restraint system, following the child restraint system manufacturer's instructions. Be sure the seat belt webbing is not twisted.

Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into the buckle. Listen for the distinct "click" sound.

Position the release button so that it is easy to access in case of an emergency.

Buckle the seat belt and allow the seat belt to take up any slack. After installation of the child restraint system, try to move it in all directions to be sure the child restraint system is securely installed.

If you need to tighten the belt, pull the webbing toward the retractor. When you unbuckle the seat belt and allow it to retract, the retractor will automatically revert back to its normal seated passenger emergency locking usage condition.

Securing a child restraint system with tether anchor system (if equipped)

The tether anchor is located at the bottom of the seatback.

2nd row outboard seat for 9 seats

2nd row outboard seat for 7, 8 Seats

3rd row right seat for 7, 8 Seats

Child restraint system tether anchorages are located on the back of the rear cushions.

Route the child restraint system top tether over the seatback.

For vehicles with adjustable headrest, route the top tether under the headrest and between the headrest posts, otherwise route the top tether over the top of the seatback. In case of interference between the child restraint system and the headrest remove the particular head restraint for better fitment of the child restraint system.

2nd row outboard seat for 9 seats

2nd row outboard seat for 7, 8 Seats

Connect and tighten the top tether to the corresponding child restraint system to secure the child restraint system.

Warning

A child can be seriously injured or killed in a collision if the child restraint system is not properly anchored to the car and the child is not properly restrained in the child restraint system. Always follow the child restraint system manufacturer's instructions for installation and use.

Never mount more than one child restraint system to a single top tether or to a single tether anchorage point. The increased load caused by multiple child restraint system may cause the top tethers or anchorage points to break, causing serious injury or death.

Warning

Child restraint system check

Check that the child restraint system is secure by pushing and pulling it in different directions. Incorrectly fitted child restraint systems may swing, twist, tip or separate causing death or serious injury.

Warning

Child restraint system anchorage

Child restraint system anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by correctly fitted child restraint systems. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult seat belts or harnesses or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.
The top tether may not work properly if attached somewhere other than the correct tether anchor.

Securing a child restraint system with "ISOFIX" system and "Tether Anchorages"

(for 7, 8 seats)

* The centre seat on 2nd-row is only for vehicle with 8 seating positions.

(for 9 seats)

ISOFIX is a standardized method of fitting child restraint systems that eliminates the need to use the standard adult seat belt to secure the child restraint system in the vehicle.

This causes a much more secure and positive location with the added benefit of easier and quicker installation.

An ISOFIX child restraint system may only be installed if it has vehicle specific or universal approval in accordance with the requirements of relevant regulation.

There are ISOFIX symbols located on the lower portion of the 2nd row outboard seat backs (for 7, 8, 9 seats), 3rd row outboard seat backs (for 9 seats) and 3rd row right seat back (for 7, 8 seats). These symbols indicate the position of the ISOFIX anchors for child restraint systems.

ISOFIX Anchor Position Indicator
ISOFIX Anchor

The 2nd row outboard seats (for 7, 8, 9 seats), 3rd row outboard seats (for 9 seats) and 3rd row right seat (for 7, 8 seats) are equipped with a pair of ISOFIX anchorages as well as a corresponding tether anchorage on the back side of the rear cushions. The ISOFIX anchorages are located between seat cushion and back rest, marked with the ISOFIX icon.

ISOFIX Anchor Position Indicator
ISOFIX Anchor

For installation, child restraint system ISOFIX connectors have to engage with the vehicles ISOFIX anchorages (listen for a CLICK, check potential visual indicators on the child restraint system and cross-check by pulling).

Child restraint systems with universal approval to relevant regulation. need to be fixed additionally with a top tether strap connected to the corresponding tether anchorage point in the back rest.

The installation and the use of a child restraint system has to be done according to the installation manual, which is provided with the ISOFIX child restraint system.

For stable and safe installation of child restraint system, adjust the seat position (seat-back angle and/or seat forward and backward) so that your child can fit in the child restraint system in a comfortable manner.

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 securely 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 unretracted seat belts. Unlatched metal 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 secure the child restraint system

To engage the child restraint system to the ISOFIX anchor, insert the child restraint system latch into the ISOFIX anchor. Listen for the audible "click" sound.

Caution

Do not allow the rear seat belt webbing to get scratched or pinched by the ISOFIX-seat latch and ISOFIX anchor during installation.

Connect the top tether strap to the corresponding tether anchorage and tighten it. (Refer to the previous page.)

Do not install a child restraint system at the centre of the rear seat using the vehicle's ISOFIX anchors. The ISOFIX anchors are only provided for the left and right outboard rear seating positions. Do not misuse the ISOFIX anchors by attempting to attach a child restraint system in the middle of the rear seat to the ISOFIX anchors.

In a crash, the child restraint system ISOFIX attachments may not be strong enough to secure the child restraint system properly in the centre of the rear seat and may break, causing serious injury or death.
Do not mount more than one child restraint system to an ISOFIX anchorage point. The improper increased load may cause the anchorage points or tether anchor to break, causing serious injury or death.
Attach the ISOFIX or ISOFIXcompatible child restraint system only to the appropriate locations shown in the illustration.
Always follow the installation and use instructions provided by the manufacturer of the child restraint system.
