(B) CONVERTIBLE SEAT INSTALLATION
A convertible seat must be used in for-
wardfacing or rearfacing position de-
pending on the age and size of the
child. When installing, follow the
manufacturer ’s instruction about the ap-
plicable age and size of the child as
well as directions for installing the
child restraint system.
SB13101
CAUTION
Rearfacing child restraint system:
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the passenger seat
with the passenger airbag manual on
off switch in the “ON” position. In
the event of an accident, the force of
the rapid inflation of the passenger
airbag can cause death or serious in-
jury to the child.

SB13107a
When you put a forwardfacing or a
rearfacing child restraint system which
belongs to a passenger risk group on
the passenger seat, turn the passenger
airbag manual onoff switch counter-
clockwise to the “OFF” position. (For
details, see “SRS driver airbag and pas-
senger airbag” on page 37 in this Sec-
tion.)
The indicator comes on when the system
is off.
CAUTION
If you must install a rearfacing
child restraint system on the pas-
senger seat, make sure the passen-
ger airbag manual onoff switch is
in the “OFF” position and that the
indicator light is on.
Forwardfacing child restraint sys-
tem: A forwardfacing child re-
straint system which belongs to a
passenger risk group should never
be installed on the passenger seat
with the passenger airbag manual
onoff switch in the “ON” position,
because the passenger airbag could
inflate with considerable speed and
force. Otherwise the child may be
killed or seriously injured in for-
ward seating position. (For details,
see “SRS driver airbag and passen-
ger airbag” on page 37 in this Sec-
tion.)

loosefitting belts could cause
death or serious injuries due to
sliding under the lap belt during a
collision or other unintended event.
Keep the lap belt positioned as low
on a child’s hips as possible.

the tab and buckle are locked and
that the lap and shoulder portions
of the belt are not twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent your
child from properly latching the tab
and buckle.
