3-58 Seats and Restraints
5. To tighten the belt, push down
on the child restraint, pull the
shoulder portion of the belt to
tighten the lap portion of the belt,
and feed the shoulder belt back
into the retractor. When installing
a forward-facing child restraint, it
may be helpful to use your knee
to push down on the child
restraint as you tighten the belt.
If the child restraint system has
a lock-off mechanism, use it to
secure the vehicle safety belt.
6. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it is
securely held in place. Push and
pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
If the airbag is off, the off indicator in
the passenger airbag status
indicator will come on and stay on
when the vehicle is started.
If a child restraint has been installed
and the on indicator is lit, see "If the
On Indicator is Lit for a Child
Restraint" under Passenger Sensing
System on page 3‑27 for more
information.
To remove the child restraint,
unfasten the vehicle safety belt and
let it return to the stowed position.
Pedestrian Protection
System
Your vehicle is equipped with a
pedestrian protection system which
is designed to lift the rear part of the
bonnet when a frontal impact
involving a pedestrian occurs.
When the vehicle is involved in a
frontal impact with an object or a
pedestrian, sensors in the front
bumper determine the force and
acceleration applied by the object to
the front bumper.
When the frontal impact exceeds a
predetermined threshold and the
impact speed is between 27 km/h
(17 mph) and 45 km/h (28 mph), the
pedestrian protection system lifts
the rear part of the bonnet to reduce
pedestrian head injuries. Lifting the
rear part of the bonnet creates more
clearance between the bonnet and
the hard components in the engine
compartment.
