NOTE:
• The passenger Advanced Front Air Bag may be deac-
tivated if the Occupant Classification System (refer to
“Air Bag Deployment Sensors And Controls”) esti-
mates the seat is empty or is occupied by someone that
is classified in the “child” category. This could be a
child, a teenager, or even a small adult. Therefore, even
if the driver’s Advanced Front Air Bag deploys, the
passenger’s Advanced Front Air Bag may not deploy.
• Air bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim;
but they will open during air bag deployment.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an
authorized dealer immediately.
Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize
the risk of harm from a deploying air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride
buckled up in a vehicle with a rear seat.
WARNING!
•
Never place a rear facing infant seat in front of an
air bag. A deploying Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag can cause death or serious injury to a child 12
years or younger, including a child in a rearward
facing infant seat.
• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle seat
belt properly (see section on Child Restraints) should be
secured in a vehicle with a rear seat in child restraints or
belt positioning booster seats. Older children who do not
use child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats
