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 (page 2-50).
Do not allow a child or anyone to
lean over or against the side window
of a vehicle with side and curtain air
bags:
It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean
over or against the side window, the
area of the front passenger seat, the
front and rear window pillars and the
roof edge along both sides from which
the side and curtain air bags deploy,
even if a child-restraint system is used.
The impact of inflation from a side or
curtain air bag could cause serious
injury or death to an out of position
child. Furthermore, leaning over or
against the front door could block the
side and curtain air bags and eliminate
the advantages of supplementary
protection. With the front air bag and
the additional side air bag that comes
out of the front seat, the rear seat is
always a better location for children.
Take special care not to allow a child
to lean over or against the side
window, even if the child is seated in a
child-restraint system.
Never use one seat belt on more than
one person at a time:
Using one seat belt for more than one
person at a time is dangerous. A seat
belt used in this way cannot spread the
impact forces properly and the two
passengers could be crushed together
and seriously injured or even killed.
Never use one belt for more than one
person at a time and always operate
the vehicle with each occupant
properly restrained.
Use the tether and tether anchor only
for a child-restraint system:
Child-restraint system anchorages are
designed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly installed
child-restraint systems. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts, harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to
the vehicle.
