Model "A8170GE-A" EDITED: 2011/ 7/ 3
1-12 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
. Put children in the REAR seat
properly restrained at all times in
a child restraint device or in a
seatbelt, whichever is appropri-
ate for the childs age, height and
weight. The SRS airbag deploys
with considerable speed and
force and can injure or even kill
children, especially if they are
not restrained or improperly re-
strained . Because chil dren are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater.
Secure ALL types of child re-
straint devices (including for-
ward facing child seats) in the
REAR seats at all times.
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD
FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE
CHILDS HEAD TOO CLOSE TO
THE SRS AIRBAG.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the REAR seating
positions than in the front seat-
ing positions. For instructions
and precautions concerning the
child restraint system, refer to
s01agChild restraint systems F1-
23.
! Infants or small children
S01AE0101
Use a child restraint system that is
suitable for your vehicle. Refer to
s01agChild
restraint systems F1-23.
! Children
S01AE0102
If a child is too big for a child restraint
system, the child should sit in the rear seat
and be restrained using the seatbelts.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
REAR seating positions than in the front
seating positions. Never allow a child to
stand up or kneel on the seat.
If the shoulder portion of the belt crosses
the face or neck, adjust the shoulder belt
anchor height (window-side seating posi-
tions only) and then if necessary move the
child closer to the belt buckle to help
provide a good shoulder belt fit. Care must
be taken to securely place the lap belt as
low as possible on the hips and not on the
childs waist. If the shoulder portion of the
belt cannot be properly positioned, a child
restraint system should be used. Never
place the shoulder belt under the childs
arm or behind the childs back.
! Expectant mothers
S01AE0103
Expectant mothers also need to use the
seatbelts. They should consult their doctor
for specific recommendations. The lap belt
should be worn securely and as low as
possible over the hips, not over the waist.
& Emergency Locking Retrac-
tor (ELR)
S01AE02
All seatb elts in the vehicl e have an
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR).
The emergency locking retractor allows
normal body movement but the retractor
locks automatically during a sudden stop,
impact or if you pull the belt very quickly
out of the retractor.
