*
1
: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may
recognize him/her as a child depending on his/her physique and posture.
*
2
: When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her
as an adult depending on his/her physique or posture.
*
3
: Never install a rear−facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. A forward−facing child restraint system should
only be installed on the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable. (See “Child restraint system” on page 176 as for installing
the child restraint system.)

4
: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
