■ ISOFIX lower anchorages (ISOFIX child restraint system)
Lower anchorages are provided for the outboard rear seats. (Marks displaying the location of the anchorages are attached to the seats.)
■ When installing in the rear outboard seats
Install the child restraint system in accordance to the operation manual enclosed with the child restraint system.
If the child restraint system on hand is not within the “universal” category (or the necessary information is not in the table), refer to the “Vehicle List” provided by the child restraint system maker for various possible installation positions, or check the compatibility after asking the retailer of the child seat. (®P.55, 56)
1. If the head restraint interferes with your child restraint system, and the head restraint can be removed, remove the head restraint. Otherwise, put the head restraint in the upper most position. (®P.136)

2. Remove the anchorage covers, and install the child restraint system to the seat.
The bars are installed behind the anchorage covers.
3. If the child restraint has a top strap, follow the child restraint manufacturer’s operation manual regarding the installation, using the top strap to latch onto the top strap anchorage.
4. After installing the child restraint system, rock it back and forth to ensure that it is installed securely.
■ When installing in the rear center seat
There are no lower anchorages behind the rear center seat. However, the inboard lower anchorages of the outboard seats, which are 15.6 in. (396 mm) apart, can be used if the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions permit use of those anchorages with the anchorage spacing stated.
Child restraint systems with rigid lower attachments cannot be installed in the center seat. This type of child restraint system can only be installed in the outboard seat.
