1-46 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags

WARNING

. Put children aged 12 and under in

a rear seat properly restrained at

all times. The SRS airbag de-

ploys with considerable sp eed

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 greater.

Consequently, we strongly re-

commend that ALL children (in-

cluding those in child seats and

those that have outgrown child

restraint devices) sit in a REAR

seat properly restrained at all

times in a child restraint device

or in a seatbelt, whichever is

appropriate for the child’s age,

height and weight.

Always secure ALL types of child

restraint devices (including for-

ward facing child seats) in one of

the rear seating positions recom-

mended in this Owner’s Manual.

According to accident statistics,

children are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seating

positions than in the front seat-

ing positions.

For instructions and precautions

concerning the child restraint

system, refer to the “Child re-

straint systems” section in this

chapter.

. NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD

FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE

FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS

SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO

THE CHILD BY PLACING THE

CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO

THE SRS AIRBAG.

. Never allow a child to stand up,

or to kneel on the front passen-

ger’s seat, or never hold a child

on your lap or in your arms. The

SRS airbag deploys with consid-

erable force and can injure or

even kill the child.

CAUTION

. When the SRS airbag deploys,

some smoke will be released.

This smoke could cause breath-

ing problems for people with a

history of asthma or other

breathing trouble. If you or your

passengers have breathing pro-

blems after SRS airbag deploys,

get fresh air promptly.

. A deploying SRS airbag releases

hot gas. Occupants could get

burned if they come into direct

contact with the hot gas.

NOTE

When you sell your vehicle, we urge

you to explain to the buyer that it is

equipped with SRS airbags by alerting

him or her to the applicable section in

this Owner’s Manual.
