Guidelines for Seating Children
You must restrain infants and small children using a child safety seat appropriate for the child’s
age, weight, and size. In market regions where seating a child on the front passenger seat is
legally permitted, you must never seat a child on the front passenger seat when the associated
airbag is enabled (see Airbags on page 38), even if the child is seated in a child safety seat or
a booster seat. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the child can occur.
Refer to the following label fitted to the sun visors.
NOTE: The image shown below is representative only and may not be identical to the label in
your vehicle.
The status of the passenger front airbag displays in the top corner of the touchscreen:
When driving with a child seat on the front passenger seat, always
double-check the status of the passenger front airbag to confirm that it is
OFF.
To protect an adult subsequently occupying the front passenger seat,
check to verify that the passenger front airbag is ON.
For details on how the passenger front airbag is controlled, see Airbags on page 38.
WARNING:
Do not use Easy Entry (as described in Driver Profiles on page 42) to
automatically move the driver's seat to the full rearward position if a child safety seat is
installed on a rear seat behind the driver's seat. With reduced clearance, the movement
of the seat may impact a child's legs, cause injury, or dislodge the seat.
