Safety and Security
Occupant safety
When the OCS senses that the front passen-
ger seat occupant is classified as an adult or
someone larger than a small individual, the
ț
front passenger’s weight category as
identifiedby theOccupantClassification
System (OCS).
Children can be killed or seriously injured by
an inflating air bag. Note the following im-
portant information when circumstances re-
quire you to place a child in the front
passenger seat:
5/indicator lamp will illuminate for
approximately 6 seconds when the engine is
started and then go out, indicating that the
front passenger front air bag is activated.
More information about air bag display
messages (page 393).
ț
Your vehicle is equipped with air bag
technology designed to turn off the front
passenger front air bag in your vehicle
when the system senses the weight of a
typical 12-month-old child or less along
with the weight of a standard appropri-
ate child restraint on the front passen-
ger seat.
Warning!
G
If the 5/ indicator lamp is
illuminated, the front passenger front air
bag is deactivated and will not be deployed.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front seat-
ing position. Thus, we strongly recommend
that children be placed in the rear seats
whenever possible. Regardless of seating
position, children 12 years old and under
must be seated and properly secured in an
appropriate infant or child restraint recom-
mended for the size and weight of the child.
If the 5/ indicator lamp is not
illuminated, the front passenger front air
bag is activated and will be deployed:
ț
A child in a rear-facing child restraint on
the front passenger seat will be
ț
ț
in the event of certain frontal impacts
seriously injured or even killed if the
front passenger front air bag inflates in
a collision which could occur under
some circumstances, even with the air
bag technology installed in your vehicle.
The only means to completely eliminate
this risk is to never place a child in a
rear-facing child restraint in the front
seat. We therefore strongly recommend
that you always place a child in a rear-
facing child restraint in the back seat.
if impact exceeds a preset deployment
threshold
ț
independently of the front side impact
air bags and/or rear side impact air
bags*.
The infant or child restraint must be properly
secured with the vehicle’s seat belt, the seat
belt and top tether strap, or lower anchors
and top tether strap, fully in accordance
with the child seat manufacturer’s
instructions.
If the front passenger front air bag is
deployed, the rate of inflation will be
influenced by:
ț
the rate of relevant vehicle deceleration
as assessed by the air bag control unit
