Occupant safety
45
Occupants, especially children, should always
sit as upright as possible, wear the seat belt
properly and use an appropriately sized infant
restraint, toddler restraint, or booster seat
recommended for the size and weight of the
child.
A child in a rear-facing child restraint on the
front-passenger seat will be seriously
injured or even killed if the front-passenger
front air bag inflates.
RIf you place a child in a forward-facing child
restraint on the front-passenger seat:
Children can be killed or seriously injured by
an inflating air bag. Note the following
important information when circumstances
require you to place a child in the front-
passenger seat:
-
-
move the seat as far back as possible
use the proper child restraint
recommended for the age, size and
weight of the child
-
secure child restraint with the vehicle's
seat belt according to the child seat
manufacturer's instructions
RYour vehicle is equipped with air bag
technology designed to deactivate 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 appropriate
child restraint on the front-passenger seat.
RFor children larger than the typical 12-
month-old child, the front-passenger front
air bag may or may not be activated.
Deployment of the driver front air bag does
not mean that the front-passenger front air
bag should also have deployed.
RA child in a rear-facing child restraint on the
front-passenger seat will be 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 eliminate
this risk completely is never to place a child
in a rear-facing child restraint in the front-
passenger seat. We therefore strongly
recommend that you always place a child
in a rear-facing child restraint on the rear
seat.
OCS may have determined:
Rthat the seat was unoccupied or occupied
by a weight of up to or less than that of a
typical 12-month-old child seated in a
standard child restraint
Rthat the seat was occupied by a small
individual (e.g. a young teenager or a small
adult) or a child who weighs more than a
typical 12-month-old child in a standard
child restraint system
These are examples of when OCS deactivates
the front-passenger front air bag. The air bag
is deactivated despite the impact fulfilling the
criteria for deploying the driver's front air bag.
RIf you install a rear-facing child restraint on
the front-passenger seat, make sure the
45
indicator lamp is illuminated,
indicating that the front-passenger front air
bag is deactivated. Should the45
indicator lamp not illuminate or go out while
the restraint is installed, please check
installation. Periodically check the
45
indicator lamp while driving to
make sure that the45 indicator
lamp is illuminated. If the45
indicator lamp goes out or remains out, do
not transport a child on the front-passenger
seat until the system has been repaired.
