■There is a malfunction in the system
*1:The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a
smaller adult sits in the front pa ssenger seat, the system may rec-
ognize him/her as a child dependi ng on his/her physique and pos-
ture.
*2:In the event the front passenge r does not wear a seat belt.
*3:When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits
in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as
an adult depending on his/her physique or posture.
*4:Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat. A forward-facing child restraint system should only be
installed on the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable. ( P.
95)
*5:In case the indicator is not illumi nated, consult this manual as for
installing the child restraint system properly. ( P. 9 9 )
