Make sure that the front passenger air bag
deactivation switch is in the OFF position.
Refer to Front Passenger Air Bag
Deactivation Switch (page 2-56).
Do not allow a child or anyone to lean over
or against the side window of a vehicle
with side and curtain air bags:
It is dangerous to allow anyone to lean
over or against the side window, the area
of the front passenger seat, the front and
rear window pillars and the roof edge
along both sides from which the side and
curtain air bags deploy, even if a
child-restraint system is used. The impact
of ination from a side or curtain air bag
could cause serious injury or death to an
out of position child. Furthermore, leaning
over or against the front door could block
the side and curtain air bags and eliminate
the advantages of supplementary
protection. With the front air bag and the
additional side air bag that comes out of
the front seat, the rear seat is always a
better location for children. Take special
care not to allow a child to lean over or
against the side window, even if the child is
seated in a child-restraint system.
Never use one seat belt on more than one
person at a time:
Using one seat belt for more than one
person at a time is dangerous. A seat belt
used in this way cannot spread the impact
forces properly and the two passengers
could be crushed together and seriously
injured or even killed. Never use one belt for
more than one person at a time and always
operate the vehicle with each occupant
properly restrained.
WARNING: child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly tted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are they to be used
for adult seat belts, harnesses or for
attaching other items or equipment to the
vehicle.
Always remove the head restraint and
install child-restraint system (except when
installing a backless booster seat):
Installing a child-restraint system without
removing the head restraint is dangerous.
The child-restraint system cannot be
installed correctly which may result in
death or injury to the child in a collision.
CAUTION
A seat belt or child-restraint system can
become very hot in a closed vehicle during
warm weather. To avoid burning yourself
or a child, check them before you or your
child touches them.
