infants and small children. Many different
types of child restraint systems are avail-
able; check that the restraint system you
select meets applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats either by seat
belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap-
shoulder belts) or by special rigid lower
anchor bars built into the seat.
NOTE:
Observe any statutory regulation about
child restraints. 61M0241 65D608

WARNING EXAMPLE
• Do not install a child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger's seat
since a child restraint system can-
not be installed appropriately.
• If you install a child restraint sys-
tem in the rear seat, slide the front
seat far enough forward so that the
child’s feet do not touch the front
seatback. This will help avoid
injury to the child in the event of an
accident.

The amount of engine oil consumption
depends on viscosity and quality of the oil
and your driving conditions.
More oil is consumed during high-speed
driving and when there is frequent acceler-

your engine also will consume more oil.
A new engine also consumes more oil,

As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-

show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km or more of driving. This is
because the oil gradually becomes diluted
with fuel or moisture, making it appear that

NOTICE
• The fuel tank has an air space to
allow for fuel expansion in hot
weather. If you continue to add fuel
after the filler nozzle has automati-
cally shut off or an initial blowback
occurs, the air chamber will
become full. Exposure to heat
when fully fuelled in this manner
will result in leakage due to fuel
expansion. To prevent such fuel
leakage, stop filling after the filler
nozzle has automatically shut off,
or when initial vent blowback
occurs, if using an alternative non-
automatic system.
• Be careful not to spill fuel contain-
ing alcohol while refueling. If fuel is
spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it
up immediately. Fuels containing
alcohol can cause paint damage,
which is not covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
