In the event of a collision, each force limiter
system will effectively absorb the load
applied to the seat belt so as to minimize the
impact to the passenger.

When transporting children in your vehicle,
some type of child restraint system should
always be used according to the size of the
child. This is required by law in most coun-
tries.
The regulations concerning driving with chil-
dren in the front seat may differ from country
to country. You are advised to comply with
the relevant regulations.
The label shown here is attached on vehicles
with front passenger airbag.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air-
bag ON-OFF switch. (Refer to “To turn an
airbag off” on page 4-32.)

WARNING
When possible, put children in the rear
seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil-
dren of all sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat rather
than in the front seat.
Holding a child in your arms is no substi-
tute for a restraint system. Failure to use a
proper restraint system can result in
severe or fatal injury to your child.
Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.
When attaching a child restraint system to
the rear seat, prevent the front seatbacks
from touching the child restraint system.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously
injured in the event of hard braking or a
collision.
