i For information on infants and children
traveling with you in the vehicle and restraint
systems for infants and children, see “Children
in the vehicle” (୴ page 87).
If the seat is not occupied and the system
senses the front passenger seat as being
empty, the 59 indicator lamp
will illuminate and not go out.
Never place anything between seat cushion
and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces
the effectiveness of the Occupant
Classification System. The bottom of the
child seat must make full contact with the
passenger seat cushion. An incorrectly
mounted child seat could cause injuries to
the child in case of an accident, instead of
increasing protection for the child.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
installation of child seats.
