& Child safety

WARNING

. Never hold a child on your lap or

in your arms while the vehicle is

moving. The passenger cannot

protect the child from injury in a

collision, because the child will

be caught between the passen-

ger and objects inside the vehi-

cle.

. While riding in the vehicle, in-

fants and small children should

always be placed in one of the

rear seating positions recom-

mended in this Owner’s Manual

in an infant or child restraint

system which is appropriate for

the child’s age, height and

weight. If a child is too big for a

child restraint system, the child

should sit in a REAR seat and be

restrained using the seatbelts.

According to accident statistics,

children are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seating

positions than in the front seat-

ing positions. Never allow a child

to stand up or kneel on the seat.

. Put children aged 12 and under in

a REAR seat properly restrained

at all times in a child restraint

device or in a seatbelt. The SRS

airbag deploys with considerable

speed and force and can injure or

even kill children, especially if

they are 12 years of age and

under and are not restrained or

improperly restrained. Because

children are lighter and weaker

than adults, their risk of being

injured from deployment is great-

er.

. NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD

FACING CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN

THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO

RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR

DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLA-

CING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO

CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.

. Always use the child safety locks

whenever a child rides in the

rear. Serious injury could result

if a child accidentally opened the

door and fell out. Refer to the

“Child safety locks” section in

chapter 2.

. Always lock the passenger’s 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 the “Power windows” sec-

tion in chapter 2.

. Never leave unattended children

in the vehicle. They could acci-

dentally injure themselves or

others through inadvertent op-

eration of the vehicle. Also, on

hot or sunny days, temperature

in a closed vehicle could quickly

become high enough to cause

severe or possibly fatal injuries

to them.

Carefully read the sections “Child restraint

systems”, “Seatbelts”, and “*SRS airbag

(Supplemental Restraint System airbag)”

in chapter 1 of this Owner’s Manual for

instructions and precautions concerning

the child restraint system, seatbelt system

and SRS airbag system.

& Engine exhaust gas (carbon

monoxide)

WARNING

. Never inhale engine exhaust gas.

Engine exhaust gas contains

carbon monoxide, a colorle ss

and odorless gas which is dan-

gerous, or even lethal, if inhaled.

. Always properly maintain the en-
