Seats and Restraints
. . . 154
CAUTION
Although your vehicle is fitted
with a passenger air bag deacti-
vation feature which is
designed to turn off the passen-
ger’s air bag under certain
conditions, no system is fail-
safe. No one can guarantee that
an air bag will not deploy under
some unusual circumstance,
even though the system is
deactivated.
It is therefore recommended
that child restraints be secured
in a rear seat position even if the
front passenger's air bag is
turned off.
In fact, because the risk to a
rear-facing child is so great if
the air bag deploys, there is a
label on your vehicle’s sun visor
that cautions you never to put a
rear-facing child seat in the
front.
CAUTION
(Continued)
If, however, you secure a
forward-facing child restraint in
the front passenger seat, be
sure to move the front passen-
ger seat as far back as it will go.
CAUTION
Frontal air bags are not
designed to inflate at all in roll-
overs, rear collisions, or in many
side crashes.
Roof-mounted roll-over air bags
are designed to provide both
side impact protection and roll-
over protection. They are not
designed to inflate in a frontal
or rear collision.
CAUTION
Do not attach anything to the
area from where the air bag
inflates.
If something is between an
occupant and an air bag, the air
bag might not inflate properly
or it might force the object into
the occupant, causing severe
injury or even death.
The path of an inflating air bag
must be kept clear of any
objects at all times.
