and weight. If a child is too big for a child re-
straint system, the child should sit in the
REAR seat and be restrained using the seat-
belts. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front seating
positions. Never allow a child to stand up or
kneel on the seat.
D Put children aged 12 and under in the REAR
seat properly restrained at all times in a child
restraint device or in a seatbelt. The SRS air-
bag deploys with considerable speed and
force and can injure or even kill children, es-
pecially if they are 12 years of age and under
and are not restrained or improperly re-
strained. Because children are lighter and
weaker than adults, their risk being injured
from deployment is greater.
D NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE
CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO
CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.
D Always use the child safety locks whenever
a child rides in the rear seat. Serious injury
could result if a child accidentally opened the
door and fell out. Refer to the “Child safety
locks” section in chapter 2.
D Always lock the passenger’s windows using
the lock switch when children are riding in the
vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure could
result in injury to a child operating the power
window. Refer to the “Windows” section in
chapter 2.
D Never leave unattended children in the ve-
hicle. They could accidentally injure them-
selves or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny
days, temperature in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to them.
D Help prevent young children from locking
themselves in the trunk. When leaving the ve-
hicle, either close all windows and lock all
doors or cancel the inside trunk lid release.
Also make certain that the trunk is closed. On
hot or sunny days, the temperature in a trunk
could quickly become high enough to cause
death or serious heat-related injuries includ-
ing brain damage, particularly for small chil-
dren.
Carefully read the sections “Child restraint systems”,
“SRS airbag”, and “Seatbelts” in chapter 1 of this
