place. Otherwise, in an accident,
serious injury or death could result.
1. Shake the seatback slightly to confirm
that it is securely locked into place.
For 5-door models, it is possible to
check whether the seatback is locked
visually. If the seatback is locked into
place, the red colored unlocking mar-
ker which is attached to the bottom of
the lock release knob is invisible. For
details, refer to 5-door models F1-
10.

where a child restraint system is intended
to be installed in the following way.

installed on the window-side seating
position or the rear center seating
position of a 4-door model, remove
the rear seat head restraint. For de-
tails, r efer to Rear windows side
seating position F1-8.
Store the head restraint in the trunk (4-
door models) or cargo area (5-door

straint in the passenger compartment

sudden stop or a sharp turn.

rear seat head restraint to the ex-
tended position. Do not remove the
