WARNING
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FA-
CING CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT
PASSENGERS SEAT EVEN IF THE
FRONT PASSENGERS SRS FRON-
TAL AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. Be
sure to install it in the REAR seat in
a correct manner. Also, it is strongly
recommended that any forward fa-
cing child seat or booster seat be
installed in the REAR seat, and that
even children who have outgrown a
child restraint system be also
seated in the REAR seat. This is
because children sitting in the front
passengers seat may be killed or
severely inj ured should the front
passengers SRS frontal airbag de-
ploy. REAR seats are the safest
place for children.
When the front passengers seat is occu-
pied by a child, observe the following
precautions. Failure to do so may increase
the load on the front passengers seat,
activating the front passengersSRS
frontal airbag even though that seat is
occupied by a child.
. Do not place any article on the seat
other than the child occupant and a child
restraint system.
. Do not place more than one child on
the seat.
. Do not install any accessory such as a
table or TV onto the seatback.
. Do not store a heavy load in the
seatback pocket.
. Do not allow the rear seat occupant to
place his/her hands or legs on the front
passengers seatback, or allow him/her to
pull the seatback.
! If the front passengers frontal air-
bag ON indicator illuminates and the
OFF indicator extinguishes even
when an infant or a small child is in
a child restraint system (including
booster seat)
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position if the front passengers frontal
airbag ON indicator illuminates and the
OFF indicator extinguishes even when an
infant or a small child is in a child restraint
system (including booster seat). Remove
the child restraint system from the seat. By
referring to the child restraint manufac-
turers recommendations as well as the
child restraint system installation proce-
dures in the Child restraint systems
section in this chapter, correctly install
the child restraint system. Turn the ignition
switch to the ON position and make sure
that the front passengers frontal airbag
ON indicator goes out and the OFF
indicator comes on.
If still the ON indicator remains illuminated
while the OFF indicator extinguishes, take
the following actions.
. Ensure that no article is placed on the
seat other than the child restraint system
and the child occupant.
. Ensure that there is no article left in the
seatback pocket.
. Ensure that the backward-forward po-
sition and seatback of front passengers
