Force limiter system
E00406000209
In
the event of a collision, each force limiter sys-
tem will effectively absorb the load applied to the
seat belt to minimize the impact to the passenger.
Child restraint
E00406401659
When
transporting children in your vehicle, some
type of child restraint system should always be
used according to the size of the child. This is re-
quired by law in most countries.
The regulations concerning driving with children in
the front seat may differ from country to country.
You are advised to comply with the relevant regula-
tions.
WARNING
l
When
possible, put children in the rear
seat. Accident statistics indicate that chil-
dren of all sizes and ages are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat rath-
er than in the front seat.
l
Holding a child in your arms is no substi-
tute for a restraint system. Failure to use
a proper restraint system can result in se-
vere or fatal injury to the child.
l
Each child restraint device or fixing is to
be used only by one child.
l
When attaching a child restraint to the
rear seat, place the front seatbacks in the
upright position.
Otherwise, the child could be seriously in-
jured in the event of hard braking or a col-
lision.
Caution for installing the child re-
straint on vehicles with a front passen-
ger airbag
The
label shown here is attached on vehicles with a
front passenger airbag.
WARNING
l
Extreme Hazard!
Do not use a rearward facing child re-
straint on a seat protected by an airbag in
front of it!
NOTE
l
The
labels may be in different positions de-
pending on the vehicle model.
Use rearward facing child restraints in the
rear seat or turn off the front passenger’s air-
bag ON-OFF switch. (Refer to “To turn an
airbag off” on page 2-27.)
