that come with the individual
child-restraint system.
A child who has outgrown
child-restraint systems should use seat
belts, both lap and shoulder. If the
shoulder belt crosses the neck or face,
move the child closer to the center of
the vehicle.
A rear-facing child-restraint system
should NEVER be used on the
passenger seat with the Air Bag system
activated. In the event of an impact the
Air Bag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
Warning!
In a collision, an unrestrained child can
become a projectile inside the vehicle. The
force required to hold even an infant on
your lap could become so great that you
could not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and others could
be badly injured or killed. Any child riding in
your vehicle should be in a proper restraint
for the child’s size.
With Passenger Occupant
Classification System
To reduce the chance of injuries caused
by deployment of the passenger Air
Bag, the Passenger Occupant
Classification Sensor work as a part of
the Supplementary Restraint System.
This system deactivates the passenger
front and side Air Bags and also the
passenger seat belt pretensioner
system when the
OFF passenger Air
Bag deactivation indicator light
illuminates.
When an infant or small child sits on the
passenger seat, the system shuts off
the passenger front and side Air Bags
and seat belt pretensioner system, so
make sure the
OFF passenger Air
Bag deactivation indicator light
illuminates. For more details, refer to
"Passenger Occupant Classification
Sensor" in “Supplementary Restraint
System SRS — Air Bag” for additional
information.
Note: A seat belt or child-restraint
system can become very hot in a
closed vehicle during warm weather. To
avoid burning yourself or a child, check
them before you or your child touches
them.
Warning!
Improper installation can lead to failure
of an infant or child restraint. It could come
loose in a collision. The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s directions exactly
when installing an infant or child restraint.
After a child restraint is installed in the
vehicle, do not move the vehicle seat
forward or rearward because it can loosen
the child restraint attachments. Remove
the child restraint before adjusting the
vehicle{ seat position. When the vehicle
seat has been adjusted, reinstall the child
restraint.
When your child restraint is not in use,
secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or
LATCH anchorages, or remove it from the
vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the vehicle.
In a sudden stop or accident, it could
strike the occupants or seatbacks and
cause serious personal injury.
Child Restraint System
Types
In this Owner’s Manual, explanation of
child restraint systems secured with
seat belts is provided for the following
three types of popular child-restraint
systems: infant seat, child seat, booster
seat.
Note:
Installation position is determined
by the type of child restraint system.
Always read the manufacturer's
instructions and this Owner’s Manual
carefully.
Due to variations in the design of
child restraint systems, vehicle seats
and seat belts, not all child restraint
may fit all seating positions.
