Black plate (7,1)
Model "A1160BE-C" EDITED: 2014/ 3/ 17
The SRS ai rbag deploys with
considerable speed and force
and can injure or even kill chil-
dren, especially if they are 12
years of age and under and are
not restrained or improperly re-
strained . B ecause children are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater.
. NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD
FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE
CHILDS HEAD TOO CLOSE TO
THE SRS AIRBAG.
. Always turn the child safety locks
to the LOCK position when
children sit in the rear seat.
Serious injury could result if a
child accidentally opens the door
and falls out. Refer to Ch ild
safety locks F2-29.
. Always lock the passengers win-
dows 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. Re-
fer to Windows F2-29.
. Never leave unattended children,
adults or animals in the vehicle.
They could accidentally injure
themselves or others through
inadvertent operation of the ve-
hicle. Also, on hot or sunny days,
temperature in a closed vehicle
could quickly become high en-
ough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to them.
. When leaving the vehicle, close
all windows and lock all doors.
For instructions and precautions, carefully
read the following sections.
. For the seatbelt system, refer to Seat-
belts F1-11.

. Never inhale engine exhaust gas.
Engine exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless gas which is dan-
gerous, or even lethal, if inhaled.
. Always properly maintain the en-
gine exhaust system to prevent
engine exhaust gas from enter-
ing the vehicle.
. Never run the hybrid system in a
closed space, such as a garage,
except for the brief time needed
to drive the vehicle in or out of it.
. Avoi d remaining in a parked
vehicle for a lengthy time while
the hybrid system is running. If
that is unavoidable, then use the
ventilation fan to force fresh air
into the vehicle.
. Always keep the front ventilator
inlet grille free from snow, leaves
or other obstructions to ensure
that the ventilation system al-
ways works properly.
. If at any time you suspect that
exhaust fumes are entering the
vehicle, have the problem
checked and corrected as soon
as possible. If you must drive
under these conditions, drive
only with all windows fully open.
. Keep the rear gate closed while
driving to prevent exhaust gas
from entering the vehicle.
