Operator`s manual

R
If you install a rear-facing child
restraint on the passenger seat, make
sure the 40indicator lamp
is illuminated, indicating that the
passenger front air bag is deactivated.
Should the 40indicator
lamp not illuminate or go out while the
restraint is installed, please check
installation.
Periodically check the 40
indicator lamp while driving to make
sure the 40indicator lamp
is illuminated.
If the 40indicator lamp
goes out or remains out, do not transport
a child on the passenger seat until the
system has been repaired.
A child in a rear-facing child restraint
on the passenger seat may be seriously
injured or even killed if the passenger
front air bag inflates.
R
If you place a child in a forward-facing
child restraint on the 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
by the seat manufacturer, and secure
child restraint with the vehicle’s seat
belt according to the child seat
manufacturer’s instructions. For
children larger than the typical
12‑month‑old child, the passenger front
air bag may or may not be activated.

Deployment of the driver front air bag
does not mean that the passenger front
air bag also should have deployed.
The Occupant Classification System may
have determined
R
that the seat was empty or occupied by the
weight up to or less than that of a typical
12‑month‑old child seated in a standard
child restraint — both instances where
the system suppresses deployment of the
passenger front air bag even though the
impact met the criteria and was of
sufficient severity to deploy the driver
front air bag
R
that the seat was occupied by a small
individual (such as a young teenager or
a small adult) or a child weighing more
than the weight of a typical 12‑month‑old
child in a standard child restraint —
instances where the system may suppress
deployment of the passenger front air
bag even though the impact met the
criteria and was of sufficient severity
to deploy the driver front air bag
