Front passenger's
airbag ON
WARNING
l A REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front
passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force of
an inflating airbag could kill or cause se-
rious injuries to the child. A rearward
facing child restraint should be used in
the rear seat.
l A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if it must be used in
the front passenger seat, turn off the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Fail-
ure to do so could kill or cause serious in-
juries to the child.
Infants and small children
When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given
below.
Instruction:
l For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children
whose height when seated allows the
shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should be
used.
l The child restraint system should be ap-
propriate for the child’s weight and
height and properly fit in the vehicle.
For a higher degree of safety: THE
CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE
REAR SEAT.
l Before purchasing a child restraint sys-
tem, try installing it in the rear seat to
make sure there is a good fit. Because of
the location of the seat belt buckles and
the shape of the seat cushion, it may be
difficult to securely install some manu-
facturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be
pulled forward or to either side easily on
the seat cushion after the seat belt has
been tightened, choose another manufac-
turer’s child restraint system.
WARNING
l When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the restraint system.
Failure to do so can result in severe or fa-
tal injury to the child.
l After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side
to side, to see that it is properly secured. If
the child restraint system is not installed
securely, it may cause injury to the child
or other occupants in the case of accident
or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system se-
cured with the seat belt or remove it from
the vehicle in order to prevent it from be-
ing thrown around inside the vehicle dur-
ing an accident.
