Protecting Children
Your Car is Not Recommended
for Child Passengers
We strongly recommend that you do
not carry any child in this car.
One reason is that your car does not
have a back seat, and accident
statistics show that a child of any
size or age is safer when they are
properly restrained in the back seat
of a vehicle.
In addition, your car has a passenger's
airbag which poses serious risks to
children — particularly infants and
small children.
The Passenger's Airbag Poses
Serious Risks to Children
Airbags have been designed to help
protect adults in a moderate to
severe frontal collision. To do this,
the passenger's airbag is quite large,
and it inflates with tremendous
speed.
As a result, we urge you to follow
these guidelines.
Infants
Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front seat of a car equipped with
a
passenger's airbag. If the airbag
inflates, it can hit the back of the
child seat with enough force to kill or
very seriously injure an infant.
Small Children
Placing a forward-facing child seat in
the front seat of a car equipped with
a passenger's airbag can be
hazardous.
If the vehicle seat is too
far forward, or the child's head is
thrown forward during a collision, an
inflating airbag can strike the child
with enough force to kill or very
seriously injure a small child. If a
small child must ride in this car,
follow the instructions on page 23 .
Larger Children
Children who have outgrown child
seats are also at risk of being injured
or killed by an inflating passenger's
airbag.
If a larger child must ride in
this car, see page 29 for important
guidelines on how to decide whether
a child is large enough and mature
enough to ride as a passenger, and
how to properly protect the child.
