Junior Seat Installation Position

A junior seat is used in the front-facing position only.

We recommend the use of the junior seat with backrest to allow simple adjustment of the shoulder belt position and to give your child the best protection.

 

Refer to the table, “Child-Restraint System Suitability for Various Seat Positions” for junior seat installation position (Search).

 


Always install a junior seat in the correct seat position:

Installing a junior seat without first consulting the table “Child-Restraint System Suitability for Various Seat Positions” is dangerous. A junior seat installed on the wrong seat position cannot be properly secured. In a collision, the child could hit something or someone in the vehicle and be seriously injured or even killed.

Do not install a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat unless it is unavoidable:

In a collision, the force of a deploying air bag could cause serious injury or death to the child. If installing a front-facing child-restraint system on the front passenger seat is unavoidable, move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and adjust the seat bottom (height adjustable seat bottom) to the highest position at which the seat belt fastening the child-restraint system is securely tightened.

Make sure that the front passenger air bag deactivation switch is in the OFF position. Refer to Front Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Switch (Search).
