The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and Transport
Canada recommend that all children
age 12 and under be properly
restrained in a back seat.
Since this vehicle does not have a
back seat, we strongly recommend
that you do not carry any child who
is not large enough or mature
enough to ride in front (see page ).
If the airbag inflates, it
can hit the back of the child seat
with enough force to kill or very
seriously injure an infant.
If a larger child must ride in
this vehicle, see page for
important guidelines on how to
decide when a child is ready to ride
in the passenger’s seat and how to
properly protect the child.
Airbags have been designed to help
protect adults in a moderate to
severe frontal collision. To do this,
the passenger’s airbag is quite large,
and it can inflate with enough force
to cause very serious injuries.
Even though your vehicle has an
advanced airbag system that
automatically turns the passenger’s
airbag off (see page ), please
follow these guidelines:
If the vehicle seat is too
farforward,orthechild’sheadis
thrown forward during a collision, an
inflating airbag can strike the child
with enough force to kill or very
seriously injure a small child.
