CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the right
front passenger’s airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to the
inflating airbag.
Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the right
front passenger’s frontal and seat-mounted
side impact airbag if the system detects a
rear-facing child restraint, no system is
fail-safe, and no one can guarantee that an
airbag will not deploy under some unusual
circumstance, even though it is turned off.
We recommend that rear-facing child
restraints be secured in a rear seat, even if
the airbags are off.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
If you secure a forward-facing child
restraint in the right front seat, always
move the front passenger seat as far back
as it will go. It is better to secure the child
restraint in a rear seat.
The passenger sensing system is designed to turn
off the right front passenger’s frontal airbag and
seat-mounted side impact airbag if:
•
The right front passenger seat is unoccupied.
•
The system determines that an infant is
present in a rear-facing infant seat.
•
The system determines that a small child is
present in a child restraint.
•
The system determines that a small child is
present in a booster seat.
•
A right front passenger takes his/her weight off
of the seat for a period of time.
