Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
Never allow a child to kneel on the front pas-
senger’s seat facing the side window or to wrap
his/her arms around the front seatback. In the
event of an accident, the force of the SRS side
airbag deployment could injure the child seri-
ously because his/her head or arms or other
body parts are too close to the SRS side airbag.
Since your vehicle is also equipped with a pas-
senger’s SRS frontal airbag, children aged 12
and under should be placed in the rear seat
anyway and should be properly restrained at all
times.
Do not attach accessories to the door trim or
near either SRS side airbags and do not place
objects near the SRS side airbags. In the event
of the SRS side airbag deployment, they could
be propelled dangerously toward the vehicle’s
occupants and cause injuries.
