Securing a child restraint to thelower anchor
Some manufacturers produce child
restraints, which are labeled as
LATCH or LATCH-compatible.
LATCH stands for "Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children". These
child restraints are equipped with two
rigid or webbing-mounted attach-
ments, which are to be connected to
the two LATCH anchors in a specific
seat of your vehicle. This type of child
restraint does not use a seat belt to
be attached in a rear seat.
A sign is marked on the left rear and
right rear seatbacks to indicate the
location of the lower anchors for child
restraints. LATCH anchors are equipped in your
vehicle. The LATCH anchors are
located in the left rear and right rear
seats. Their locations are shown in
the illustration. There is no LATCH
anchor in the rear center seat.
The LATCH anchors are located
between the seatback and the seat
cushion. Follow instructions of the
child restraint manufacturer to prop-
erly install a LATCH or LATCH-com-
patible child restraint.
Upon installing the LATCH child
restraint, make sure that the seat is
properly attached to the LATCH and
tether anchors.

Position Indicator
When using the vehicle's
"LATCH" system to install a
child restraint in a rear seat,
all seat belts taps of unoccu-
pied seats should be securely
buckled in metal latch plates,
and the seat belt webbing
must be fully retracted behind
the child restraint to prevent
the child from reaching or
holding any un-retracted seat
belts. Child's reaching to any
un-buckled metal latch plates
or tabs may result in strangu-
lation, serious injury or death
to the child.
Do not place anything around the lower anchors. Also make
sure that the seat belt is not
caught inside the lower
anchors.
WARNING

Also, test the child restraint before
seating your child. Slightly shake the
restraint from side to side. Also try to
tug the restraint forward. Check
whether the anchors securely hold
the restraint in place.
Do not scratch or pinch a rear seat
belt webbing with a child restraint
latch or a LATCH anchor during
the installation.The recommended weight for the
LATCH system is under 65 lbs (30
kg).
How to calculate the child
restraint weight :
Child restraint weight =
65 lbs (30 kg) - Child weightNOTICE

- LATCH lower anchors
LATCH lower anchors are to be
used only in the left rear and
right rear seats. Never attempt
to install a child restraint in the
rear center seat. You may dam-
age the anchors, or the anchors
may fail and break apart in a
collision.
WARNING
When the child restraint is not
properly anchored, the risk of a
child's serious injury or death in
a collision greatly increases.

Safety system of your vehicle
❈ The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.
OVI035037N
Even in vehicles with air bags, a driver and all passengers must
always wear the seat belts provided in order to minimize the risk and
severity of injury in the event of a collision or a rollover.
WARNING

Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they pro-
duce not only a loud noise, but also
smoke and powder inside the vehi-
cle. This is normal and is a result of
the ignition of the air bag inflator.
After the air bag inflates, you may
feel substantial discomfort, while
breathing due to the contact of your
chest with both the seat belt and the
air bag, as well as from inhaled
smoke and powder.Open your
doors and windows as soon as
possible after air bag deployment
in order to reduce your discomfort
and prevent prolonged exposure
to the smoke and powder.
Though the smoke and powder are
non-toxic, they may cause skin irrita-
tion (i.e. eyes, nose and throat). In
this case, immediately wash your
skin with cold water and consult a
doctor if the symptom persists.
Do not install a child restraint in the front passenger's seat.
Never place a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. When an air bag deploys, it
would impact the rear-facing child
restraint, causing serious or fatal
injury. In addition, do not place front-
facing child restraints in the front
passenger’s seat, either. When the
front passenger air bag inflates, it
may cause serious or fatal injury to
the child.
2-44
Safety system of your vehicle
After the air bag inflation, air-
bag related components, which
are on the steering wheel,
instrument panel, roof rails
above doors and the front seat-
backs, are very hot. To prevent
injury, do not touch those com-
ponents inside the air bag stor-
age right after air bag inflation.
WARNING
1JBH3051
Extremely Hazard! Do not place a rear-facing child
restraint in a seat protected
by an air bag!
Never install a child restraint in the front passenger’s seat.
When the front passenger air
bag inflates, it may cause seri-
ous or fatal injury.

(Continued)
When a child is seated in rear seats (not in the rear center
seat) equipped with side/cur-
tain air bags, make sure to
install the child restraint as far
away from the door as possi-
ble, and securely lock the
child restraint in position.
Inflation of side/curtain air
bags may cause serious
injury or death to an infant or
child.
OVI035116N

A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly fastened seat
belt, slows the driver's or the passen-
ger's forward motion, reducing the
risk of head and chest injury.
After a complete inflation, an air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibili-
ty and the ability to steer and operate
other controls.

Passenger’s front air bag
Do not install or place anyaccessories (drink holder, CD
holder, sticker, etc.) on the
front passenger's panel above
the glove box, in which a pas-
senger's air bag is equipped.
Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and
cause injury, when the pas-
senger's air bag inflates.
When installing a container of liquid air freshener inside the
vehicle, do not locate it near
the instrument cluster nor on
the instrument panel. It may
become a dangerous projec-
tile and cause injury, when the
passenger's air bag inflates.
WARNING

Main components of occupant
classification system
A detection device located underthe front passenger's seat cushion.
Electronic system to determine whether to activate the front pas-
senger's air bag (both front and
side) or not.
A warning light on the instrument panel, which displays the message
of "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" to
indicate that the front passenger's
air bag system is deactivated.
The air bag indicator on the instru- ment panel is interconnected with
the occupant classification system.
The OCS is designed to detect the
presence of a properly-seated front
passenger and determine if the pas-
senger's front air bag should be
enabled (may inflate) or not.
The purpose is to help reduce the
risk of injury or death from an inflat-
ing air bag to certain front passenger
seat occupants, such as children, by
requiring the air bag to be automati-
cally turned OFF.
For example, if a child restraint of the
type specified in the regulations is on
the seat, the occupant classification
sensor can detect it and cause the
air bag to turn OFF.
Front passenger seat adult occupants
who are properly seated and wearing
the seat belt properly, should not
cause the passenger air bag to be
automatically turned OFF. For small
adults it may be turned OFF, however,
if the occupant does not sit in the seat
properly (for example, by not sitting
upright, by sitting on the edge of the
seat, or by otherwise being out of
position), this could cause the sensor
to turn the air bag OFF. Always make sure that you and all
occupants are properly seated and
fastened for the most effective pro-
tection from air bags and the seat
belts.
The OCS may not properly func-
tion, when an occupant takes an
action, which may affect the classi-
fication system. These include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright posi- tion.
(2) Leaning against the door or
center console.
(3) Sitting towards the front or the sides.
(4) Putting their legs on the dash- board or other areas, reducing
the occupant's weight on the
front seat.
(5) Improperly fastening the seat belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back.

Safety system of your vehicle02

When the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator is turned ON with an
adult's occupation in the front pas-
senger's seat, press OFF the Engine
Start/Stop Button and ask the occu-
pant to sit properly (sitting in an
upright position, and sitting on the
center of the seat cushion with their
seat belt fastened, legs comfortably
extended and their feet on the floor).
Restart the engine and have the
occupant maintain that position. This
allows the system to detect a person
and to enable the front passenger's
air bag. In case that the "PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF" indicator
remains illuminated, ask the occu-
pant to move to a rear seat.
Information
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates after turning ON
the Engine Start/Stop button, or start-
ing the engine. When the front passen-
ger seat is occupied, the OCS classifies
the front passenger in a few seconds.

Proper position
Do not allow an adult passenger
to ride in the front seat, when
the "PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF" indicator remains illumi-
nated. The air bag will not
deploy in the event of a crash. In
case that the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator remains
illuminated, even after the adult
occupant corrects his or her
posture to properly sit and the
vehicle is restarted, it is recom-
mended that he or she move to
a rear seat. The front passen-
ger's air bag will not deploy.
The front passenger must stay
properly seated to avoid seri-
ous injury from a deploying air
bag.
WARNING
Do not put a heavy load on the
front passenger's seat. Do not
place any items under the front
passenger's seat. Any of these
may interfere with the sensor
operation.
