her as a child depending on his/her physique and posture.
*2: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*3: When a large child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in
the fr
ont passenger seat, the sys tem may recognize him/her as an
adult depending on his/her physique or posture.

ger seat. A forward-facing child r
estraint system should only be
installed on the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable. 

estraint system properly. ( P. 8 1 )
