Safety system of your vehicle
Do not install a child restraint
on the front passenger seat
Never install a child restraint in the
front passenger’s seat. An inflating
air bag can forcefully strike a child or
restraint resulting in serious or fatal
injury.
If your vehicle is equipped with the
passenger’s front air bag ON/OFF
switch, you can activate or deactivate
the front passenger’s air bag when
necessary. For more details, please
refer to page 2-63.
Why didn’t my air bag go off in
a collision? (Air bags are not
designed to inflate in every
collision.)
There are certain types of accidents
in which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional protec-
tion. These include rear impacts, sec-
ond or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts. Damage to the vehicle
indicates a collision energy absorp-
tion, and is not an indicator of whether
or not an air bag should have inflated.

■ Type A
■ Type B
• Extreme Hazard! Do not use a
rearward facing child restraint
on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it!
• Never put a child restraint in
the front passenger’s seat. If
the front passenger air bag
inflates, it would cause seri-
ous or fatal injuries.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of an air bag
deploying unexpectedly and
causing serious injury or death:
• Do not hit or allow any objects
to impact the locations where
air bags or sensors are
installed.
