Do not use seat covers on the front seatbacks.
They may interfere with the front seat-
mounted side-impact supplemental air bag in-
flations.
Pre-tensioner seat belt system
The pre-tensioner seat belt system may activate with
the supplemental air bag system in certain types of
collisions.
Working with the seat belt retractor and anchor, it
helps tighten the seat belt the instant the vehicle
becomes involved in certain types of collisions, help-
ing to restrain front seat occupants. (See “Pre-
tensioner seat belt system” later in this section.)
Air bag warning labels
Warning labels about the supplemental air bag sys-
tem are placed in the vehicle as shown in the illus-
trations.
SRS air bag:
The warning label
j1 is located on the surface of
the passenger’s sun visor.
SRS front-impact passenger air bag:
The warning label
j2 is located on the side of the
passenger’s side instrument panel.
Both labels warn you not to fit a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger seat, as such
a restraint system used in this position could cause
serious injury to the infant in case of air bag deploy-
ment during a collision.
In vehicles equipped with a front-impact passenger
air bag system, use a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem only on the rear seats. “NEVER use a rearward
facing child restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY to the CHILD can occur.”. Be sure to read
the “AIRBAG LABEL” description at the end of this
manual.
When installing a child restraint system in your ve-
hicle, always follow the child restraint system manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation.
For additional information, see “Child restraints”
earlier in this section.
