WARNING
䳜 The driver is responsible for the
proper position of the passenger's
front air bag ON/OFF switch.
䳜 Deactivate the passenger's front
air bag only when the ignition
switch or ENGINE START/STOP
button is switched off, or the
malfunction may occur in the SRS
Control Module.
And there may be a danger that
the driver's and/or front passen
-
ger's and/or side and curtain air
bag may fail to trigger, or not
trigger correctly during a collision.
䳜 Never install a rearward facing
child seat on the front passen
-
ger's seat unless the passenger's
front air bag has been deacti
-
vated. The infant or child could be
severely injured or killed by an air
bag deployment in case of an
accident.
䳜 Even though your vehicle is
equipped with the passenger's
front air bag ON/OFF switch, do
not install a child restraint system
in the front passenger's seat. A
child restraint system must never
be placed in the front seat. Chil
-
dren who are too large for child
restraint systems should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts. Chil
-
dren are afforded the most
safety in the event of an accident
when they are restrained by a
proper restraint system in the
rear seat.
䳜 As soon as the child seat is no lon
-
ger needed on the front passen -
ger's seat, reactivate the front
passenger's air bag.
䳜 Never place or insert any object
into any small opening near side
airbag labels attached to the vehi
-
cle seats. When the air bag
deploys, the object may affect
the deployment and result in
unexpected accident or bodily
harm.
