Warning!
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front
seating position. Thus, we strongly
recommend that children be placed in the
rear seats whenever possible. Regardless
of seating position, children 12 years old
and under must be seated and properly
secured in an appropriate infant restraint,
toddler restraint, or booster seat
recommended for the size and weight of the
child.
The infant or child restraint must be
properly secured with the vehicle’s seat
belt, the seat belt and top tether strap, or
lower anchors and top tether strap, fully in
accordance with the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions.
Occupants, especially children, should
always sit as upright as possible, wear the
seat belt properly and use an appropriately
sized infant restraint, toddler restraint, or
booster seat recommended for the size and
weight of the child.
Children can be killed or seriously injured
by an inflating air bag. Note the following
important information when circumstances
require you to place a child in the front
passenger seat:
R
Your vehicle is equipped with air bag
technology designed to deactivate the
front passenger front air bag in your
vehicle when the system senses the
weight of a typical 12-month-old child or
less along with the weight of a standard
appropriate child restraint on the front
passenger seat.
R
A child in a rear-facing child restraint on
the front passenger seat will be seriously
injured or even killed if the front
passenger front air bag inflates in a
collision which could occur under some
circumstances, even with the air bag
technology installed in your vehicle. The
only means to completely eliminate this
risk is to never place a child in a rear-
facing child restraint in the front seat. We
therefore strongly recommend that you
always place a child in a rear-facing child
restraint in a backseat.
R
If you must install a rear-facing child
restraint on the front passenger seat
because circumstances require you to do
so, make sure the
59
indicator lamp is illuminated, indicating
that the front passenger front air bag is
deactivated. Should the
59
indicator lamp not illuminate or go out
while the restraint is installed, please
check installation. Periodically check the
59
indicator lamp while
driving to make sure the
59
indicator lamp is
